If you run a busy office the chances are you are going to need a cleaner to keep the
business premises clean, tidy and hygienic for both yourself and your employees but there are a few pointers to follow before deciding on which cleaning company best suits your needs.
These may seem like the obvious but in most cases these are often overlooked and the disappointing results will only be realised months after hiring the company.
Training
Always ensure that the cleaning company you are considering have had adequate training in both health and safety procedure and the use of all equipment. Many cleaning companies provide their staff with ongoing training to keep them up to date on all new health and safety regulations as well as use in new products and apparatus so this is something worth looking out for before making your final decision. You may also request to see the company’s health and safety policy.
Quality Control
You will want your chosen cleaning company to complete their work to the highest of standards with minimum disruption to you and your staff thus a plan will need to be put in place. The plan should include all aspects of work you want undertaken and when the most convenient times for the company to undertake them will be. Many offices employ early morning or evening cleaners so that it doesn’t interfere with the day to day running of the office. It may also be a good idea to clearly state which areas of the workplace and which items of machinery and equipment should not be touched by the cleaning company to safeguard against accidents and damage.
Environmental Impact
We are becoming increasingly aware of the impact many cleaning products can have on the environment. Although there are no laws in place to state that you must use only environmentally friendly products, it makes sense to employ a company who utilise environmentally friendly practices. That way you would play your part in reducing your office carbon footprint.
