Finding a commercial cleaning company to take care of your office cleaning and janitorial services is an important task. You need to hire someone that is trustworthy, efficient, and hard-working.

Here are 9 things you should definitely find out.

1. How long have they been in business? 
Although every company must start someplace, your company may need a company that has been established for a while. If you have a company that has sensitive information or a large location, you may want to bring in a company that is already experienced. Reducing the learning curve of cleaning your company may only come with experience. 

2. Do they service companies like yours? 
Knowing that a commercial cleaning company has other clients like you can give a level of comfort when hiring them. Furthermore, if the company is servicing similar clients, it shows that they have the experience to clean your company properly.

 
3. Do they offer other services? 
Some companies can offer services other than office cleaning services. In addition to office cleaning, a company might be able to offer services like floor stripping/waxing and carpet cleaning. This makes them more valuable than a company that cannot offer these services. 

4. How do they vet their employees? 
It is important to understand how the office cleaning company hires their employees. You might want to know if they do a background check or a drug test. You want to make sure they are hiring quality employees. 

5. How do they train their employees? 
Training is important. There may be different aspects to their training regime. Knowing that the employees get a level of training before they begin the actual cleaning can show that even new employees have some level of experience. 

6. Do they have insurance? 
Insurance is vital for cleaning companies to have. They should have different kinds of insurance, like workers’ compensation and general liability insurance. This protects your company if someone gets hurt while cleaning your offices. 

7. Will you always have the same team cleaning your business? 
Always having the same people clean your office leads to continuity and efficiency. If the same people are always cleaning, they will know the layout of your office and the most efficient way to clean it. 

8. What kind of products do they use? 
This may be important due to health concerns. If you have employees with certain allergies, they may be sensitive to certain cleaning products. Therefore, you should know what the company is using. 

9. How do they stay organized?
Staying organized is an essential part to any business. But, especially in the janitorial business. Without proper organization and systems, small issues can turn into bigger problems if they fall through the cracks.
