As Minnesota’s Stay Safe Plan progresses to reduce COVID-19 cases in the state, all communities must lower the risk of infection. In addition to wearing a mask and socially distancing, businesses can help curb COVID-19 concerns by maintaining a clean and safe environment. While commercial cleaning services can meet these demands, it’s important to note that some providers may not be as diligent and effective as others. If you need to hire a cleaning company for your business or public facility, here are a few ways you can make sure you work with a team that’s compliant with COVID-19 guidelines.  

5 Tips for Choosing a Cleaning Company During COVID-19

1. Inquire About Safety Practices

When you interview providers, ask about the company’s practices for cleaning during the pandemic. To reduce the risk of spreading the novel virus, you should select a candidate that utilizes personal protection equipment (PPE) such as masks and gloves. Workers should also maintain proper social distances around other people.

2. Consider Cleaning Solutions

Your cleaning company should disinfect surfaces using products that are approved to kill the virus. Additionally, the provider should use techniques that limit the spread of germs, such as by wiping surfaces with fresh towels or carpet cleaning with heavy-duty equipment.

3. Check State Registration & Insurance

Choosing a provider that’s a registered business with the state ensures that your facility is serviced by qualified professionals who are aware of all industry best practices. Companies should also have insurance to cover any damages that they may be responsible for during cleaning services.

4. Assess Adjustability

Stopping the spread of the virus requires consistent attention. That’s why your provider should be able to accommodate your business’s specific needs. For example, you’ll want to choose a company that will stick to your schedule and provides services to fit the specific needs of your property.

5. Request References

While a company may meet all your expectations on paper, it's still important to get references from current or previous clients—especially those that are related to your industry. When talking to references, check to make sure the janitorial services occurred on time and produced safe, thorough results.
