How Much Does Commercial Cleaning Cost

We all understand how important maintaining a clean and hygienic facility is to making the right impression, as well as providing peace of mind and ensuring your staff and customers on your premises are kept safe. As business owners and employees navigate the ever changing business environment and continue to adjust to the new normal, looking to an external cleaning company can help you ensure the standards of cleanliness in your organisation are no less than exceptional. Therefore, trusting commercial cleaning experts to take on the responsibility of cleaning allows you to focus on running your business while have complete confidence that your workplace is clean and safe.

We've established that cleaning is important and that outsourcing it to experts can be the best option, but how much does it cost to hire a commercial cleaning company?

No professional cleaning company will give you a quote without factoring in specific business requirements. It is important to be aware that a company quoting a cheaper price per square footage will not necessarily equate to a cheaper price overall. You may be surprised to hear that choosing a premium, well renowned cleaning company can actually save you money in the long run and it is certainly possible to achieve the quality of clean your business needs on a budget.

What Determines the Cost of Commercial Cleaning Services?

Square Footage– when getting a quote think about the square footage of your space. Are all areas being used or is half of it storage and can't even be accessed to be cleaned? The odd storage room, warehouse space may all add up to more than you think.

Frequency– what is your footfall, do you need cleaning throughout the day, or could you get away with cleaning every other night?

Your needs– commercial cleaning costs should also be determined by the kind of cleaning you need. Do the windows need daily cleaning? If your premises have kitchens then do you have multiple ovens which need frequent deep cleans?

Windows– for commercial and retail premises it's imperative to make a good impression with clean, sparkly glass. The amount and frequency of windows cleaned will affect the cost.

Two for one– doubling up on contracts can be a great way to save money. If there are two specialised needs as in waste disposal, upholstery or aircon cleaning required throughout the year, giving all services to one company usually equals cost savings.

Depending on your tailor-made requirements, professional cleaning can cost as little or as much as you want it to. Hiring a commercial cleaning company doesn't have to break the bank but getting the right company for your business is imperative. Can you afford not to get it right?

Benefits of Using a Commercial Cleaning Service

Reduced spread of germs– effective cleaning using the right equipment removes germs from surfaces, reducing cross contamination, helping to reduce the spread of illness and protecting staff. This can reduce the number of employees taking sick days, increase productivity and ensure your workplace is safe for all.

Save Business Costs – while your facility may need some regular cleaning between professional cleans, looking to a professional company can actually save your business costs in the long run. A professional company will have access to the equipment, cleaning materials and correct cleaning products for carrying out a high standard cleaning service and also means you don't have to buy specialist equipment yourself!

Safety at work– professional cleaners will ensure health and safety is adhered to. Less potentially dangerous objects will be left lying around, reducing clutter and removing trip hazards.

Happier staff– staff do not want to be coming to work having to empty the bins, pick up litter off the floor or wipe their desks. Let the cleaning professionals take care of that, so that staff can focus on their job in a clean environment.

Time saving– not only will your staff save time, but there will also be no need to spend time training the commercial cleaners, as they will already be highly experienced.

Company image– trained experts will make sure to leave the right sparkling impression for your customers and/or staff. Commercial cleaners will make sure you make the right impression, every time.

The Potential Risks of Keeping Cleaning In-House

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, there's now more risks if cleaning standards are not as high as they could be. While your employees could perform some daily general cleaning tasks like emptying bins, it's likely that the vast majority won't feel comfortable in performing regular cleaning duties at this all important time due to the risks associated with not doing it right. Inexperience and lack of expertise can mean the wrong equipment or chemicals are used for example and recent news in the media suggests that after a long day dealing with other work duties; cleaning is probably the last thing your employees want to be doing. When expectations are at all time high and there's a significant need to minimise infection transmission; looking to external professional cleaners can hold even more value and benefits.

Where to Find the Right Commercial Cleaners for you

When choosing a commercial cleaning contractor, it is important to choose a company that ensures your cleaning requirements are listened to and works around you to deliver an exceptional cleaning service. For example, cleaning a restaurant chain requires a very different cleaning approach to cleaning a hospital, so flexibility is vital when it comes to choosing a commercial cleaning company. Make sure that they can provide for your needs.
