If your commercial cleaning service is incredible, getting the work done well and consistently, then read no further.
If, on the other hand, your current cleaning company is not doing the work you would like them to be doing, then it might be time for a sit down or even a change.
Facility Managers often settle for less than they really want — and need — from their commercial cleaning service. Maybe they think good service is impossible, or that responsive service costs more than the budget allows.
The reality: many maintenance companies **can** deliver top-notch service. The right janitorial company can work within your budget *without* compromising consistency or responsiveness.
What The Best Commercial Cleaning Companies Can Do
- Deliver top-notch service
- Work within your budget without compromising quality
- Help you manage workload and complete critical maintenance
Poor Service Should Not Be The Norm
If you’ve dealt with subpar service or cycled through one bad cleaning company after another , you might believe all companies are the same — but they’re not.
Often the issue isn’t the entire industry, but the **process used to find and evaluate cleaning companies**.
With so many cleaning companies out there, finding the right one can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“If you have had one bad cleaning company after another, it might be time to rethink how you go about finding and choosing one.”
Do Your Homework & You Could Find A Winner
When you accept that a great company may be out there ready to deliver on their promises, the next step is finding them.
Any cleaning company can make big claims — it’s up to you to verify them. Talk to references, ask for proof of training, staffing standards, green cleaning systems, and more.
“Ask for evidence of any claims. A solid professional maintenance company will be more than happy to show you exactly what sets them apart from other average or below average cleaning companies.”
Making It Easier To Identify The Best Janitorial Companies
If comparing companies in depth feels overwhelming, there are shortcuts.
**Ask around.** Other Facility Managers and trusted vendors can offer candid recommendations. Few people recommend a company they feel lukewarm about.
**Use certification as a filter.** For example, the ISSA CIMS certification helps you build a shortlist of companies committed to best practices and professional standards.
Like board certification in other industries, CIMS verifies that a company has the required systems and processes in place to perform at the highest level.
Start Off The New Year Right & Get The Maintenance You Deserve
Don’t focus on the work involved in switching commercial cleaning companies. Focus instead on how much easier your life becomes when you partner with the **right** janitorial company.
When you choose a reliable Michigan cleaning company, you can enjoy years of responsive, consistent service — without daily oversight or frustration.
