If you are shopping around for a new office cleaning service, it’s likely you have a lot of questions. But, do you know the right ones to ask an office cleaning company? To help you find the perfect commercial cleaning company, Imperial Cleaning created a list of answers to key questions that will help you make an informed decision.

How Can Your Cleaning Service Help Me?

First of all, you are probably interested in exactly what hiring a professional cleaning company will do for your business.

Your new office cleaning service should be able to provide not only clean floors, but also key benefits, like these:

  •         Create a terrific first impression
  •         Provide a healthy and safe working environment
  •         Improve employee morale and productivity

What Types of Commercial Cleaning Services are Provided?

Next, you will likely want to know what types of commercial cleaning will be performed inside of your office.

From daily services, like sweeping and mopping, to periodic services, like floor care and carpet cleaning, there are many different types of cleaning tasks available.  You should develop a plan that fits the goals of your office. Learning what services are offered can help to guide you to creating a more customized plan for your office.

Will Your Office Cleaning Company Bring its Own Supplies?

As you consider professional cleaning companies, you’ll benefit from learning how they will approach the job. A good question to ask is if the office cleaning company will be bringing its own supplies.

For example, Imperial Cleaning brings both traditional office cleaning tools and top-of-the-line equipment, such as Hepa vacuums with filtration technology, carpet extractors and auto scrubbers.

Is Your Cleaning Company Insured and Bonded?

Another frequently asked qualifying question is whether the cleaning company is insured and bonded. You will benefit from relying on companies who are insured and bonded in the event there is an accident during the cleaning process.

To serve you better, Imperial Cleaning is fully insured and bonded. We carry:

  • General liability insurance
  • Liability umbrella policy
  • Worker’s compensation insurance
  • Auto insurance
  • Janitorial bond insurance for breakage or proven theft

Does Your Company Perform Green Cleaning?

From the types of chemicals used to the waste created, companies often have concerns about the environmental impact of the cleaning process. Today, there are many green cleaning methods available that protect the planet. When choosing a professional cleaning company, you might want to ask them whether they use eco-friendly products, like green paper, microfiber cloths, and vacuum filtration technology.

Do I Need to Sign a Long-Term Contract?

Finally, you’ll want to know exactly what type of agreement you will have with your new office cleaning company. Will it be a long-term service contract? Or, do they offer more flexible services?

For example, Imperial Cleaning offers a wide range of options, from one-time services to periodic cleanings, and/or regular, ongoing maintenance services.
