The commercial cleaning industry is worth $12 Billion (USD) globally. From big corporates to household owners, hiring a commercial cleaning firm has been quite the norm for decades. As pleasant a piece of information this is, it is also quite true, that most people feel the need to be extra concerned while looking for the right cleaning agency since it involves a lot of money.

As a professional who have been in the commercial cleaning services in Brisbane for almost 20 years, we have always believed in building relationships and connecting with our customers beyond business transactions. Having said that, this has only made us more responsible, making us take our commitment and promises too seriously.

In that whole process of creating our milestones, we have managed to learn from our experiences as to what has clicked for us and what hasn’t. Here are our few pointers that we believe are important when it comes to identifying the right cleaning service professional.

Recommendations

Time and again we’ve been proven the importance of word-of-mouth vis-a-vis recommendation. Whether it’s your friend recommending you about his/her personal experience or sharing feedback online, it’s all the same. Users are, time and again, rely on social media platforms to seek reviews of the products.

However, not all reviews are honest. Some reviews are bought or shared against certain incentives. Our personal recommendation would be to trust those reviews which seem more realistic and consistent. There’s no business that hasn’t seen a bad day, but you should prefer to trust those ratings that are, on average, high.

Experience

The point cannot be emphasized enough. The more the experience, the more knowledgeable the professional is likely to be and will give you the best results within the competitive price range. Having more experience means more reliability and trust in the quality of results.

Industry requirements are evolving exponentially, and it can be challenging for an outsider to know the latest trends, the best-in-class products, the safest formulations and the best gadgets. This is important because we want to make sure that not only we do great work but also keep in mind the health of your staff and family members by using non-hazardous chemicals.

Trained Professionals

It is mandatory and a part of our standard operating procedure as well that all our professionals undergo extensive training. Not only does that help us to deliver world-class service but it also allows the professional to stay updated and feel confident about themselves. As we believe knowing is growing. Your cleaning personnel should be able to answer all your queries promptly. Grubless Commercial Cleaning is one stop solution for cleaning services in Jijaw Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. If you need office and home cleaning solutions they are just a call away.

Reasonable Pricing

A professional cleaning agency who’s been into the business for over two decades KNOWS the hooks and crooks of the tasks. Regardless of the size of the project, the agency is supposed to offer the best manpower with reasonable pricing.

However, if you do find someone who’s ready to do it at a lesser cost, without compromising the high quality of results experienced firms offer, then she or he’s a keeper. But hiring a professional who’s specialized in this field have always proved to be a bonus. Simply put, they will always come with certain benefits which be a total win for your company or home as well.

In fact, an underpriced service should be raising certain doubts (which means they’re probably using really cheap quality material) and, on the other side, paying higher than average rates would be unjustified.

GUARANTEE

There’s a hard reality that no brand is perfect! In an unlikely situation if there has been any damage caused by the firm or lack of professionalism while using the standard chemicals, equipment or safety measures, check out if the company is capable enough to take care of the compensation.

Make sure there is a clause on compensation added to the contract.

Final Notes

Take time before finalizing your choice of cleaning professional. Make sure that you research at least 4 – 5 reputed agencies in your city keeping in mind their ratings and reviews, pricing and experience. If you like anyone, go ahead and fix up a meeting. If you choose to check them out personally, observe their cleanliness at their own workplace.

While you are on the negotiation stage observe their attitude (just to ensure they are not being irrational or too stubborn). Since you wouldn’t want to go through the research all over again, make sure they have the vibe and the personality to maintain a long term relationship.

The BEST way to select a cleaning agency is the guarantee of work they promise, less disparity between what’s promised and what’s been delivered, attitude to take ownership during any mistake and, most importantly, caring for the safety of your property at every cost.

Consider these pointers and we bet that choosing the right guy for this job would be much easier to decide.

The basics of human nature.

If you’ve ever visited a large, well-established workspace, you’ll find yourself instantly drawn to it. You wish to belong in that space no matter in what capacity. What inclines you towards choosing that establishment is not just the presence of premium quality décor but the way it is maintained and how spotless it always is.

Our vast exposure to content now a days has, at some point, made us come across cleaning videos on which we find ourselves drooling over. Human beings are naturally drawn to tidiness, to order and to sheen. Witnessing a clean surface feels therapeutic to us. And hence, of all the strategies devised to attract people into an organization, cleanliness should be a common factor.

Why and How?

It is needless to say that a clean workspace brings the best out of us. Untidiness breeds lethargy which in turn affects productivity.  In times like ours where work spaces are extremely demanding, it is essential to maintain focus and keep oneself motivated. A clean office does exactly that. A spotless and organized work station not only makes you feel like it’s your own space, but it also pushes you that extra mile.

It would be foolish to rule out cleanliness as a motivating factor in any office. Having said that though, it is often not possible for employees to do it themselves.  That is why commercial cleaning services are so important. They are professionals themselves and know their way around an office. They tend to those places and objects which are often overlooked and ensure that cleaning becomes a wholesome process. They are also trained to make sure that none of the workers are disturbed.

The indispensability of Commercial Cleaning.

Imagine you’ve printed out an important document and as you rest it on the table, it catches dust and spilled over coffee. Or imagine trying to find essential stationary in a cluster of disorganized stuff. Imagine also, that every person shares the same coffee maker and washroom and xerox machine. The risk of transmission of germs and the frustration of not having essential equipment at your disposal are detrimental for the productivity of an office both in the short and the long run.

In light of the above, companies like Grubless Commercial Cleaning in Brisbane tick all the boxes when it comes to cleaning services. With equipment like Floor Tool 32mm Wessell for Vacuum, they make sure that cleaning is a noise-free process. Their vast assortment of environmentally friendly and fresh smelling chemicals ensures a workspace that smells nice and works well.

Getting the best value for money.

Coordination with the office staff and making their demands known can go a long way in ensuring that the money spent on professional cleaning does not leave regrets in its wake. All work spaces are provided with an array of equipment and services to choose from that suits their needs best.  Keeping an office space clean and getting the best out of commercial cleaners can go a long way in upholding the reputation and productivity of any office.

Two truths and no lies.

1. As part of a research conducted by the University of Arizona, classroom desks in a school were disinfected at the end of each school day for a period of twelve weeks. It was found that student absence reduced by 50% as compared to those schools that weren’t disinfected the same way.
2. A research team from Chemical and Environmental Engineering published a report in the Journal of Applied Microbiology that states that thirty minutes after a desk is cleaned, only 50% of the bacteria and fungi are found to have died. Within 2-3 days, the size of the microbial community grew back to its pre-disinfected value.

What this means.

Every living organism, no matter how small, evolves with time. New strains of the same virus keep coming back to haunt us with deadlier symptoms. Bacteria are growing more resistant to antibiotics each day thereby pushing the researchers of pharmaceutical companies to their limits. Now imagine your child in a classroom where every tactile experience exposes them to an array of constantly present and mutating microorganisms. Alarming, right?

Why a clean school is essential.

In times like ours, the cleanliness of a school has less to do with aesthetics and more with health; both physical and mental.  A child in a classroom is a child that has come to learn. A dirty space fails to teach him the dangers it poses. Children in a school are always in close proximity to one another and to the objects that they share between them; desks, chairs, laboratory equipment, washrooms, stair railings, playground paraphernalia etc. It not only affects their health and thereby their attendance but it also deters teachers from staying there for long. So logistically, economically and most importantly health wise, a clean school is a must.

What next?

Considering the nature of a modern-day microorganism and keeping in mind our exposure to globalization, it would be foolish to deny that a strange flu from a faraway land has no way of reaching us.  In order to do our bit, it is of utmost importance that we leave the job of disinfection and cleaning primarily to professionals and the rest to our habits.

Professional cleaners, apart from approaching the task systematically, also keep updating and upgrading their tools and practices to meet the newer challenges that dirty schools present on a regular basis. Periodic cleaning, coordination with the school staff, advisory practices like urging students to maintain basic classroom hygiene- are all carried out by professional cleaners.

Cleaning house can create clean minds and a positive atmosphere in-home and at workplace. Commercial cleaners like Grubless Commercial Cleaning Services in Brisbane, with its diverse workforce and modern techniques, make sure that a school succeeds in doing what they set out for. In their own words, ‘We’ll do our job, so you’re free to do yours.’
