Is it time to find a new Cleaning Contractor?


Having a clean and orderly workplace is not just about hygiene, it could be the foundation for the success of your business.  A clean workspace also provides a happy and healthier environment in which to work. This in turn, will impact positively on morale and productivity. Not only that, what a fantastic first impression it creates for perspective clients too!

Knowing this to be the case, a good Contract Cleaning Service provider is an integral part of your business success and therefore, should perform to the exacting standards you have agreed at the start of the contract. In other words, it means working together to meet common goals with commitment and hard work.

There could be problems ahead if you are you noticing any of the following problems:

Areas left uncleaned

If areas of your business have not been cleaned and are in the same condition it was left in the night before it will have an impact on your workforce. It means that your own employees are likely to have to clear up which diverts them from their usual work tasks. Even if it’s just one toilet, a floor or a small surface left uncleaned or not wiped down it shouldn’t happen.

Safety

The safety of your building and your employees should be of paramount importance to everyone working there. Cleaning operatives should be using warning signs to highlight issues that may compromise this. Slipping on wet floors can be avoided by using wet floor signs. Cleaning chemicals and or hazardous products should be stored, dispensed and used appropriately. If you find this is not happening it could lead to safety issues.

Consumables

Are you finding that consumable supplies frequently run low or run out? Are your employees constantly having to look for toilet roll, paper towels or soap? If your contract includes the supply of consumables, your cleaning contractor is not fulfilling their commitments.

Communication

If you find you are constantly having to chase your cleaning contractor for answers to any of the issues above, this is an additional burden on your valuable time. Not getting the answer you are looking for or being fobbed off, can only mean it’s time to replace them with a reputable Cleaning Contractor.
