Why You Must Hire a Reputed Commercial Cleaning Services Company?

Trade secrets, expensive equipment, confidential documents detailing strategy for the next 10 years and money. Costly collection. Now imagine for a second that it was all lost. Feeling like you’re intestines just skydived? Which is why trusting your commercial premises to a non-reputed commercial cleaning services company is a very risky decision.

A commercial cleaning services company should be:

1. Professionally Managed by a Team of Experience Managers: Experience from senior management ensures that your business is in good hands. 
2. Licensed: The Company should have a valid license that has been granted by the municipality, county or state to do business. At BBCC we are certified as a local minority business —the City of Boston checks all our paper work, ensure we pay the right taxes and so on.
3. Insured: The cleaning service should provide their employees with workers’ compensation and business liability insurance to cover situations such as injuries on the job, negligence of employees on the job and so forth Smart businesses will also have liability insurance. This ensures that the client will not be responsible for any injury incurred to the employee while performing the job.

Keeping the above factors in mind quality, security and reliability are our top most priorities at Boston’s Best Commercial Cleaning.

“But we already provided you with the square footage and nature of business why do you need to come visit us just to quote a price?” Many a times our prospective clients shy away when a facility visit is requested to make the price quotation.

At Boston’s Best Commercial Cleaning we provide value to our clients by serving them with the highest standards of quality, reliability and security and providing quick action to their needs. We therefore focus on establishing long-term relationships with our clients. Visiting the business facility helps the client receive an accurate price quote due to the following reasons:

1. Provides us with a deep insight into the current state of the facility and the level of cleaning it will require
2. Helps us recommend the frequency of cleaning the facility will require
3. Singles out areas that the client wants extra attention to be paid to
4. Gives us an idea of the traffic received during the day in terms of number of employees and number of visitors
5. Helps establish trust between you and us leading to a healthy relationship going forward – after all don’t you want to meet the company you will be sharing your office keys with?

Now you see why a facility visit is so essential? Great! Bring the soda and the chips out and we’ll be on our way!

Even though a business might offer the same products or services as other businesses in the same space, not all business quote the same price. It’s simple really.  Every business has different ways of operating and different ways of providing customer experiences which leads to different operating costs and therefore different prices.

Also, in the janitorial business every client is different. The changing variables lead to a range of prices for different clients. For example, one office might have a cleaning service contractor for over a decade and decide to transition to a new one. Another business that has been operating for years performing self-cleaning might decide to now opt for a cleaning service contractor. The other factors remaining the same, the former will be charged a lower price as the level of dirt and filth will be lesser as compared to the latter who will have years of dirt stored in hidden spaces.

The following variables play an important role in price quotations:

1. Square footage
2. Hours required to clean the facility
3. Number of employees
4. Visitors received during the day
5. Nature of business

Therefore when a cleaning service charges the same price to all clients you have something to be wary about. At Boston’s Best Commercial Cleaning, we provide our client’s with an option of deviating around the current state of facility. If the client does not have a budget for the recommended hours required to clean, the client can set a timeline and dictate the most important areas that need attention within the facility. As a caution, we highly discourage recommending that step as the facility will remain partly unclean, unhygienic and the employees will fail to achieve high standards of productivity.
