How To Choose A Commercial Cleaning Company
Most commercial cleaning contracts fail in year one. Here's how to pick one that doesn't.
Written specification
Insist on a documented scope of works. If it's not written, it won't be done consistently.
Quality control system
Random inspections, monthly audits, photo reports. Real operations have all three.
Backup cover
Sickness, holidays and turnover are facts of life. Cover is the test of a real team.
Account management
One named contact who knows your site, not a call centre.
References from similar businesses
Talk to clients running similar sites. Their honest take saves you months.
