Relevant experience cleaning facilities like yours

Managing a medical office or facility is challenging, and making sure everything is clean is up there at the top of the list.  You don’t want your patients to look around in the waiting area or in exam rooms at dirty floors or dingy baseboards.

What should I look for in a medical cleaning company?

The very basics begin with making sure the cleaning company you choose has experience cleaning medical facilities.  You don’t want to be a cleaning company’s first medical customer.  Your patients will notice.

How can I tell if they actually have medical cleaning experience?

The questions they ask, or don’t ask, can be very revealing. If they aren’t asking questions about the number of exam rooms, or if you have any special type of needs in an operating or procedure room then you should consider other options.

The most important detail is always their customer service process

You should always make sure you understand what their communication or problem solving process is like.  If they do not demonstrate excellent communication or customer service skills then you will likely struggle when trying to fix issues. 

Unlike normal office cleaning, dealerships require a lot more window cleaning and usually have high shine showroom floors that need an experienced cleaner to look ready for customers.

Large facilities cleaned every night require high level cleaning experience

Few cleaning companies are mentally prepared to clean in the middle of the night every night of the week.  Even fewer are capable of large facilities, and even fewer still can handle the unique requirements of a dealership.

That’s why experience and equipment are the bare minimum

Larger dealerships should require that any cleaning company they choose already have dealership cleaning experience, and come in with auto scrubbers or floor machines.  Otherwise you are paying for cleaners to spend longer than they need to using a mop and bucket which usually isn’t as good a machine.  

There are few places as sensitive and delicate as schools when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting.  We need to protect our children and keep them safe.  That’s why it’s so important you choose a janitorial cleaning company with school cleaning experience.

School cleaning is very different from normal office cleaning

You may come across experienced office cleaning companies with no experience cleaning schools.  You don’t need to just run away, but you should have detailed conversations about their plan and how they might keep your schools clean.  If they don’t present a reliable impression it might be a good idea to find someone else.

Every school is different

Daycares are very different from elementary schools which are very different from colleges.  Especially with the younger children it’s worth holding out for someone with relevant experience. 

It mostly comes down to communication

Just like everything else, you want to have open communication.  When issues come up or details need to be addressed can you have a talk with your cleaners without them getting defensive?  More importantly do you see improvement that lasts?

Cleaning churches and places of worship is quite different from other facilities.  Many have full-time schools while others have classrooms being used during worship only.  How do you know the cleaning company you choose is ready to handle your unique cleaning needs?

It starts with understanding your unique usage

By first looking at how your church is used every week you can communicate a custom cleaning schedule that works.  Is your facility only used Wednesdays and Sundays, or do you have regular meetings most days of the week? 

Communicate your usage with the cleaning companies you are considering

If the cleaning companies you speak with are not asking about your specific usage and cleaning needs then you might want to consider other options.  No two churches are the same, so how could a cleaning company fully understand your needs without a detailed conversation?

Look for experience in churches and schools

Since most churches at least have classrooms for children during worship there are unique cleaning details that require experience.  Not to mention sanctuaries and other high traffic multi-purpose rooms commonly found in churches.  Your cleaning company should have a good plan for these cleaning needs based on experience.
