Pros and Cons of Commercial Janitorial Companies
Some Things Are Best Handled In-House
Keeping your facility clean is really a team effort—an ongoing project that requires coordination between you, your staff, and your professional cleaning company. Business cleaning services offer a range of services your internal staff isn’t equipped, or doesn’t have the time, to handle on their own. A manager’s ability to delegate is a critical feature of any successful team, and the same applies to your organization as a whole.
Don’t Think of This List As ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’
It’s important to consider the strengths of your internal team and an outside firm when developing a strategy to keep your office, building, or campus clean. This list can help you create that strategy and understand where the responsibility for different cleaning tasks is best allocated.
Pro: High Attention To Detail
One of the jobs you aren’t going to want to do yourself is detail cleaning. This can be hard, tedious work and isn’t an ideal use of your staff’s or your own time. Professional office cleaning services have the skills and knowledge to know what to look for and where to clean. While detail cleaning might not be part of the daily schedule, professionals will keep the details in check so you don’t even have to think about them.
Con: The Job Might Not Get Done Immediately
Large spaces have especially large cleaning concerns. What this means is that, in practice, not every job will necessarily be completed as quickly as you just doing it yourself. Let’s say, for example, someone spills a glass of grape soda on the floor. Are they going to wait for the janitors to come that night and clean it up? No. It’s simply better to handle it yourself. This is just a comic example of what could be a real situation. Don’t expect your janitorial company to swoop in and save the day in all situations!
Pro: Professionals Have The Training
With training and experience, it’s obvious that most professional cleaners will be able to do a better job faster when cleaning your facility. Only a professional workforce can effectively strip and wax floors or truly disinfect a bathroom. Sure, you can wipe down surfaces with disinfecting wipes, but this isn’t the same as producing a completely clean and sanitary space.
Con: Professionals Are an Added Cost
Sure, you could go out and buy some cleaning products from your local wholesaler and devote a large portion of your own time to keeping your facility clean. You might even save a little money in the process, but is it worth it? Spending your time and energy on dirt and bacteria probably isn’t in the job description. So, while a janitorial company is more expensive than doing the job yourself, it’s just a smarter solution.
Pro: Frees Up More Time
You and your staff have more important things to do than vacuum carpets or mop floors. Why not offload those tasks to a professional janitorial team so you can focus on the tasks at hand? Plus, when you hire a professional service, they’ll handle the cleaning in the evening so your office will be bright and shining when you arrive in the morning.
Cons: You May Be Hiring a Stranger
