Commercial cleaners are often more economically sound than adding a janitor to your payroll. They can save you money and time as well as provide you with peace of mind. Many companies add a janitor to the payroll, costing more money than necessary, requiring extra paperwork, insurance, and other liabilities. Here are some benefits to hiring a professional cleaning service.
Reliability
When companies hire janitors, they generally can only afford one or two. So what happens when vacation time rolls around or there’s a sick day? What if the janitor isn’t available right before an important meeting or a big client visit? Janitorial services don’t take breaks or sick days. Whether you need a regular, reliable cleaning or just a one-time sprucing up, commercial cleaners are always available to send someone out to your business.
Attention to Detail
You can’t constantly monitor your janitors, and you certainly can’t fire one for occasionally missing that spot behind the radiator, which is why commercial cleaning services are often more thorough than a directly hired employee. To be successful, commercial cleaners must keep a close eye on their employees and provide a high standard of service. And if one janitorial service does not meet your standards, it is substantially easier to hire a new service with little hassle.
Flexibility
Janitorial services are flexible work schedules so you won’t waste money. Not all offices require cleaning on a daily or even weekly basis, so why pay for it? Commercial cleaning services send out employees weekly, daily, monthly, or for one-time visits. You can use a janitorial service as often as you need to and adjust accordingly. Had a particularly rowdy office Christmas party?
A cleaning crew can be sent out the next morning and get the job done quickly. Business picking up and trash is starting pile up as well? You can increase from a monthly or weekly service to a daily routine until the office calms down.
Inventory
Many commercial cleaners also provide inventory and restocking services which include handling such necessities as hand soap, paper products, janitorial tools, and cleaning supplies. Too often restocking these necessary items goes unnoticed until an emergency arises or employees find themselves wiping their hands on their pants. Having a professional service handle inventory will save you time and worry.
Special Services
Many companies, especially smaller offices, can’t always afford specialized janitorial tools that are occasionally necessary. Not only are these tools expensive to buy and may not need to be used often, but repair and maintenance is costly and time consuming as well. Janitorial services can provide these special tools and services such as steam cleaners or carpets. The job will get done and you won’t have to worry about the money or the storage o these costly tools.
Emergencies
Stuff happens, which is why many professional cleaning services have a special emergency number that can be reached 24 hours a day. Have a sewage backup or someone couldn’t quite lift the water cooler bottle? You won’t have to spend the day ruining your favorite suit.
