When searching for office cleaning, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the seemingly endless options. In-house, outsourced, ad-hoc, deep cleans, regular cleans? Search results are full of companies offering a whirling list of services.
But for effective office cleaning, it’s important to focus on four fundamentals. This will allow you to find a dependable service that suits your requirements – and your budget.
Experience & Reliability
Choosing an office cleaning supplier with practical experience is vital. Domestic cleaning, hotel cleaning and office cleaning are all very different. So select a supplier with ample, provable experience and a tested infrastructure for cleaning offices specifically.
High-quality, consistent office cleaning should be a backbone for your business. You need cleaners turning up when scheduled and completing their set tasks efficiently and effectively. Every hour spent chasing up a poorly cleaned desk or investigating a missed clean is an hour not spent hitting your targets and growing your business.
So choosing a supplier who prides themselves on their experience and reliability will pay dividends. GCC Facilities Management boasts a 99.6% cleaning fulfilment rate – making it the UK’s most reliable cleaning company.
Tailored Office Cleaning Services
When it comes to office cleaning services for businesses, no two locations are the same. An agile startup working out of a rented room is very different from an established company with their own skyscraper. Needs can be somewhat similar, but also very different.
How many rooms and desks do you have? Do you have dedicated break out areas or do your staff tend to eat at their desks? Do you only need a quick clean for a few hours a week? Or do you need an extensive whole office clean every day? And when do you need that cleaning to take place?
All of these questions are important because they represent the type of company you are, and the type of people your employees are. Your unique office rhythm and needs are important. Don’t be forced to fit into a one-size format – instead select an office cleaning company that will adapt with you.
Choose a supplier like GCC that sets out tailored quotes, tailored working hours and tailored cleaning specifications. With the right supplier, you’re in control.
Value for Money
With the right tailored service comes value for money. There’s no point paying for bloated hours of cleaning you don’t need, or inflexible task lists which don’t suit your requirements. Wasted money and wasted time benefit no one.
On the other hand, paying for the bare minimum doesn’t work either. Your employees are spending hours a day in the office; if a slapdash or rushed job is leaving plates in the sink, loo rolls empty and desks dusty, you’ll be paying for it in complaints and productivity.
In the context of office cleaning services for businesses: according to research by Tork, “86% of office employees regard cleanliness as the most important aspect of a good work environment”.
The right middle ground is what you want. With GCC’s bespoke quotes and packages, you can get a thorough clean at a price that suits you. The best of both!
Office Cleaning & Compliance
Choosing a supplier with a strong background in compliance is also essential. Health & Safety, COSHH, infection control and environmental standards are all important aspects of making sure cleaning is carried out in a controlled, organised manner. GCC has three ISO accreditations proving we are transparent, accountable and trusted.
Choosing a supplier with a negligent attitude to compliance and safety could cause unsafe chemical use, health risks, or, at worst, workplace accidents.
All GCC cleaning operatives are trained through a British Institute of Cleaning Science aligned course, covering vital compliance areas alongside NHS colour-coding to prevent cross-contamination while cleaning.
It’s Up to You…
The right cleaning supplier can be a true asset to your office – creating a pleasant, hygienic environment for your employees to maximise performance. With the right tailored specifications, working hours and quotes, you can be assured of value for money. While a compliance background ensures wider safety and peace of mind.
