Finding the right Commercial Cleaning Service for your company

Finding the right Commercial cleaning company can be a daunting task and there are so many factors that can play a role in the decision process.  Keep in mind the following when looking at the qualifications of a commercial cleaning company :

  • Experience- Pick a company that has been in business at least 5-10 years serving the commercial market (there is a huge diffcommercial cleaning tampa erence between commercial cleaning and residential cleaning)
  • Protection- Ask for a copy of the companies liability, workers comp and bond documentation. Many companies don’t have proper limits and can leave you exposed in the event of an accident
  • Security- Ask the potential partner to provide a copy of there human resource process in hiring labor. Be sure they are completing a high level background check, check references and are legally documented to work in the US
  • Management- Ask how your account will be managed and what level of communication will be afforded to you. You want account manager that you can call on with concerns or issues, a live person that answers the phone and stops in from time to time to check on your satisfaction level.
  • Competitive Pricing- You should get 3-4 bids minimum to determine your price is competitive. We suggest throwing out any bid that seems too good to be true or too high to be affordable.

  • Franchisees
  • Mom and Pop/ One man on the van companies
  • Family owned and Operated Local companies
  • Large Regional or National brands that have a local presence

There are pros and cons to each of these scenarios and each business model is different allowing a pricing strategy that can vary considerably.  Be cautious of the LOW BID as it can be an attractive price but you know the old adage

“You get what you pay for.”

Low quotes can mean a commercial cleaning company doesn’t have the experience or isn’t paying for the high cost liability insurance therefore allowing lower overhead.  They may be paying labor minimum wage or employ illegal workers.  At the end of the day, it usually ends up with a subpar commercial cleaning service leaving you frustrated and back to square one!

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience.

In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
