If you are responsible for commercial premises such as offices then maintaining the property and keeping it clean is an important aspect of your role. You will need to decide if cleaning is a task that you should undertake yourself, or if hiring professional commercial cleaning services is the better solution. Here is a comparison of the two options to help you make an informed decision about whether to hire cleaners to do the job or just complete the task yourself.
Time
The first comparison to make is of the time it takes you to complete the task compared to cleaners. As professionals, a cleaning company is likely to be able to complete your office cleaning much quicker than you would be able to do it yourself. Also, if you are spending time cleaning, it probably means that you are not spending time concentrating on other aspects of your business. By hiring commercial cleaning services, you will free up your time for other more important tasks. Similarly, you could delegate the cleaning to an employee, but this would take them away from their regular duties.
Money
At first, you may think that doing the cleaning yourself compares favourably in monetary terms against hiring professionals to do it for you. Obviously, you can do it for free and cleaners will cost money. However, you need to consider the cost of time taken away from your role to clean too. Will taking time out from your business impact on issues such as sales or profits? Will it affect your ability to run the business well and be successful? When you ask yourself these questions, you may realise that, in the long-term, commercial cleaning services are actually cost-effective.
Quality of finish
The final factor to think about is who will do the job the best. Even if you are fantastic at cleaning, a professional service is likely to be better. They have a lot of experience of cleaning offices to a high standard, will use the products best suited to each task and they’ll know all the tricks of the trade to solve any complex cleaning problems. They will also clean in places that you might forget about, such as behind furniture and in other places that you can’t see. Opting for a quality service means that your offices will look and smell better, it will create an improved working environment for your employees and the premises will be much more hygienic.
