In most businesses, cleaning work is now outsourced to external companies. This is a way for them to ensure greater efficiency and speed in the execution of these tasks. However, with the large number of cleaning companies currently available, it can be difficult to find a quality service provider. To help you get started, we offer some tips and advice on how to choose the right cleaning company.
Prior reflection
First, if you already had a company dedicated to cleaning your premises, do you want to continue your alliance and draw up a new contract? If the answer is yes, the next steps should be relatively simple and all you need to do is discuss this new site with your cleaning service provider.
So, perhaps you’re considering hiring someone internally to take care of cleaning? This could be a solution, but for this to happen, your premises would need to be large enough to allow enough time per day to retain your new employee. In addition, you’ll need to purchase the appropriate equipment (vacuum cleaner, washing bucket, microfibers, products, etc.), not to mention managing leave and sometimes sick leave. Otherwise, it’s better to opt for an external person who can come in punctually, at the times you want. In addition, this will relieve you of an administrative and managerial task since the cleaning company takes care of all that.
To make the right choice, you can review the company’s values to see if they align with your own. You can also look for reviews from current clients to see if the services offered will meet your expectations.
The elements to be determined
The most important thing, once you have chosen one of the companies on the market, is to determine a range of information essential to practicing the profession:
What is your budget for this service?
In short, these are all questions that require clear and precise answers before drawing up a cleaning contract.
Choose based on geographic proximity
This is an essential criterion to consider. If you want to use the services of a cleaning company, it would be best to choose one that is located near your offices, warehouses, or workshops. If your company is located in Nantes, Rennes, or Paris, for example, it will be more advantageous for you to use the services of a cleaning company in Nantes, Rennes, St-Malo, or Paris than to choose one located elsewhere. This will allow you to eliminate travel costs from your bill and, consequently, pay less.
Choose based on techniques, materials and human resources
After geographical proximity, another criterion must also be considered, and that is the techniques, equipment, and human resources available to the cleaning company. Considering these different points will give you a clear, overall picture of the quality of the services offered by the cleaning company. Before partnering with any company, take the time and precaution to find out about the company in question. Then choose the one that seems capable of properly carrying out the tasks you are going to entrust to it.
