Before you hire a commercial cleaning service make sure the services you are considering abide by state regulations. Rules for cleaning services vary from state to state. For example, some states have stringent policies for workers compensation or unemployment and these policies can affect your business as well.
Be cautious of any cleaning service that tries to severely cut costs or underbids their competition just to gain your business. They may lack insurance coverage or hire inexperience staff. If they destroy your equipment or your floors, the lower price you received will cease to be a benefit.
Consider and appraise franchised cleaning services as cautiously as you would any other cleaning company. Although a franchise may carry a familiar brand name, each one is owned and operated independently and may not have extensive experience in the cleaning industry. Cleaning franchises do have the advantage of time-tested advice and thorough training, from the franchise, on how to run their businesses successfully. As long as you apply the same conscientiousness to selecting a franchise as you do a regular cleaning service, they can be a reliable option.
Check with your building manager to see if they already provide a cleaning service. In some cases, you don't have to look for your own cleaning service. There are office buildings that subcontract their cleaning service to the companies that operate in their office building.
