Commercial Cleaning Blog

“No contracts required!”

When you’re looking for a commercial cleaner, it’s not unusual to go through some version of a proposal process. Your typical commercial cleaner will gather basic details about your site (via email, over the phone, or in person), throw together a quote, and hope for the best. In some cases, unfortunately, this opens the door for you to receive generic proposals that overpromise what is possible.

As a business owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be when a supposed "trusted" strategic partner turns out to be anything but. And when your commercial cleaner is the one letting you down, the consequences can be costly:

You want your workspaces and facilities to be clean. But who defines what “clean” is for your organisation? I ask because how you define “clean” may not be the same as someone else.

You might think it’s a safe assumption that commercial cleaning companies you come across know how to clean. That is, in fact, their job, right? If they didn’t know how to clean, why on earth would they open up a commercial cleaning business in the first place? Wouldn’t their doors be shuttered in less than a month?

I’ve been in this business for more than 30 years, and one thing has not changed. Commercial cleaning companies do not make it easy to understand how their services are priced and why, and that makes your job more difficult than it should be.

You think we’d be crazy to say that cleaning is anything but next to godliness.

Yesterday I had a gardener come around my house for the first time to do some classic garden tasks.
