Your business is your baby. You watched it come into the world and grow, often at the cost of many sleepless nights. And yet the person who cleans your premises comes in at night, alone, with your keys. No comparison table can answer the only question that really matters: who do you trust?
To compare commercial cleaning quotes, start with how much trust the company inspires. Then check that the quotes cover the same tasks at the same frequency, and look at what's supplied, quality follow-up and contract terms. The lowest price is only a bargain if the service is truly the same.
1Trust before price
A cleaning team sees your offices when nobody is there. They walk past your files and equipment, and often hold your keys. A quote can list tasks, but it can't promise peace of mind. Take the time to meet the people who will look after your premises and see how they answer your questions.
2What a quote should specify
- The list of tasks by room or area
- The frequency of each task and the service hours
- The price and what it includes, with taxes
- Which products, equipment and supplies are included
- The length of the contract and how to end it
3The questions to ask
- Who manages access to our premises and the keys?
- What happens when an employee is absent?
- Who do we contact about a problem?
- How quickly is a problem resolved?
4The warning signs
- A price given with no visit or questions about your premises
- A vague quote with no list of tasks
- A very low price that doesn't say what's excluded
- Poorly defined extra fees
5Why the visit matters
A visit reveals what a form can't: the real floor area, floor types, number of washrooms and access constraints. The quote becomes more accurate, and you avoid unpleasant surprises once the contract has started.
