In this guide to hiring a commercial cleaning company for your office, we will talk about the reasons and benefits of hiring professional cleaners and the best way to go about it.

Why or when to outsource professional cleaners

You may need to hire a cleaning company for several reasons. Office cleaning is important and should be done routinely. If your team is too busy or lacks the expertise for cleaning, outsourcing professional cleaners from a reputable company is the best option. Here are some other reasons to hire a cleaning company.

1. You are too busy to DIY

As an office manager or owner, chances are that you do not have time for cleaning. An office manager has lots of responsibilities and may need professional help when it comes to cleaning.

2. You lack expertise

Cleaning is a skill-driven job and someone who is not particularly trained for or experienced in cleaning should not do it without proper guidance. If you are not up for the job, simply hire a cleaning expert from a reputable company.

3. Your current cleaners are not efficient

One common reason for office managers to hire external cleaners is that they are not completely happy with the performance of their existing cleaners or the results are not up to the expectations.

4. You need expert help

Whether you are unhappy with cleaning results or looking for better cleaning services, hiring a professional agency like Clean Group is worth the money. Our expert cleaners will bring experience along with high-tech tools to deliver highly efficient cleaning results that meet your expectations.

How to find the best Office Cleaning Company

Before you start searching for a cleaning services provider, you must first properly analyse your cleaning requirements and goals to know exactly what services you need.

Start by checking your premises for their cleaning needs. If the offices are being cleaned daily, they might not need a deep cleaning as of now. Your carpets may, however, need in-depth cleaning every once in a while, so decide accordingly. Do you also need disinfecting services? Do you need cleaners to be available at a moment’s notice? Do you want to hire cleaners for routine office cleaning or one-time cleaning? At what time do you prefer the cleaners to come for cleaning?

Make sure that you have a list of questions to ask a potential cleaner when interviewing them. To start with, here are some of the tasks covered in a typical office cleaning service:

  • Mopping the floors
  • Vacuuming carpets, upholstery, fixtures, etc.
  • Cleaning hard surfaces
  • Cleaning & disinfecting toilets
  • Emptying trash bins

Cleaning of electronics, equipment, windows, vents, and other parts of the office may be done once a week or daily depending on your cleaner.

The following are some of the ways used by office managers to find and hire a reliable office/commercial cleaning company:

1. Referrals (Word of Mouth)

The most common, traditional but still very popular method of finding a professional is word of mouth. Because practically every office in Sydney is using a cleaning service, chances are that you can find the best cleaner in your own network. Just get in touch with your colleagues, and partners or ask your employees for referrals. If you do not find success with your physical network, you can try posting about your requirement on social media to find and connect with a prospect.

The good thing about this option is that there are high chances of finding a reliable cleaner that one of your friends or colleagues is already using and trusts.

2. Search on Google

Google is another most common source for people to find a cleaner. Just search “best office cleaner in Sydney” on Google and you’ll see top results containing the list of the most popular office cleaners and companies in your city. However, selecting the right cleaner from the long list of search results is a different thing.

You may need to click each link and research every option in order to find a cleaning company that fits your criteria and requirements. It might take time and a lot of research, so be ready to spare some time to find the best cleaner for your office. In the following steps, we discuss other ways to simplify the cleaner selection process.

3. Read Online Reviews

One of the best ways to find genuine information about a cleaning company is through their client reviews and testimonials. Reviews are shared by the clients of a company and contain information about their services, specialties, pros, and cons. You can find them on Google, Yelp, Facebook and other online directories and social media platforms. Read the reviews of a cleaning company you are planning to hire to know whether they are actually good or can provide satisfactory results for you. Look for qualities such as credibility, punctuality, staff behaviour, service quality, attention to detail, etc. Read both negative and positive reviews and make your decision based on what you find.

4. Online Directories and Advertisements

Another great way to find a reliable cleaning company is to search online directories or pay attention to ads. Online business directories are the listings of websites/businesses in a particular region or industry. Yelp, Yahoo directory, Yellowpages, etc. are some of the popular places where you can find information about cleaning businesses in your area. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are also becoming a great source for finding and connecting with businesses online, as many cleaning service providers have their profiles on these sites. Lastly, you can check the dedicated websites of top cleaning companies in your city to find out about their services, contact details, etc.

The Cost of Commercial Cleaning and Hiring a Cleaning Company

When hiring a cleaning services provider, you should also consider the cost, though it should not be a priority over quality.

The cost of a commercial cleaning service depends on many things, including the provider’s experience in business, the type and size of your property, the type of cleaning required, the number of cleaners, and the services provided. More experienced and popular companies are likely to charge more than individual or untrained cleaners, but that may not always be the case. Many cleaning companies and cleaners provide services on an hourly basis, which is a good thing because that way you only have to pay for the number of hours it takes to clean your place rather than having to pay for a full day.

We offer a free on-site cleaning quote, which you can request now from our website.

We greatly value transparency, as there are no hidden costs. You pay exactly what you see in the quote.

Besides the cleaning cost, you may also need to discuss a couple of other things with a potential office cleaning company. These include the cleaning supplies (who brings supplies, what types of cleaning products they use, etc.), your preferred cleaning schedule, access to premises, and pre-cleaning requirements. It is better to first discuss these things internally and then present your recommendations to the cleaning company.
