The time has come when your business needs to hire a company to manage the daily and routine cleaning needs for your office. In 2025 there are many choices, and you are likely to have a friend who knows someone, a quick Google search may bring up many results, or you may even recognize a large name in the industry. At the end of the day, not all commercial cleaning services are created equal. That’s why you should ask these following questions before you sign the dotted line.
How long have you been in business?
This question may seem simple but tells an entire story. Just like your business, times change, people change, and you’ve probably heard the saying “they stood the test of time.” A business that has stood the test of time with a long-standing record of happy customers can provide you comfort in knowing that they have a history of hard work, trust, and ethics behind their name.
Are you bonded and insured?
Knowing that a company is bonded and insured protects your business and peace of mind. This assurance allows you to know should an unexpected accident, injury, or event happen that you’re protected against any risks.
Do you have references?
A business can profess to be the “best in town” but references speak for themselves. Simply ask for a list of references that you can contact and hear firsthand their experiences. Any reputable cleaning company should have these readily available.
Who do I contact with any concerns?
This question can often cause red flags. If you’re not provided with a local contact or owner and instead provided an email or out-of-area number, this could lead to communication issues should a concern arise.
Tell me about your employees.
The cleaning companies’ employees are the individuals who will be performing the work each day in your own business. Knowing who these individuals are, their experience and how they are trained is an important component to how well your business could be cleaned.
What services do you offer? Can you customize a plan for my business?
A commercial cleaning company should be able to offer a customized cleaning plan for any business, not just checking a list off of a rate sheet. Knowing the services available and up front pricing allows you to make an informed decision and ensure that every unique part of your office will be included.
What are your fees?
Make sure that you receive a written quote for your business including exactly what is included and how often the cleaning will take place.
