Annual janitorial cleaning contracts are no good
If a cleaning company is good at what they do, and they did a good job at establishing pricing based on accurate services then there should be no need for an annual contract. It only helps the cleaning companies, not you.
We’ve seen many commercial cleaning companies offering satisfaction guarantees without any other explanation or support. What does this mean? Are they going to give you your money back?
If that guarantee was legit why do they need to lock you into an annual contract?
Vanguard Cleaning Systems of Tampa & Orlando only does month-to-month cleaning service agreements because we strongly believe we should be doing our best everyday, and if you aren’t happy you should not be stuck. We have worked hard to select excellent independent franchise owners to work with and our experienced customer support office team is excellent at responding to and correcting issues when they come up.
With the right people and processes there is no need to trap customers in annual contracts
If we are working with high-quality independent franchise owners, and our office customer support team is providing great communication and problem solving then there is no need for long contracts. The nature of the cleaning industry makes it difficult to trust a company claiming 100% guarantees without explanation.
Be weary of companies with guarantees and long contracts
Not all contract cleaning companies are bad and not all no-contract cleaning companies are good, but this should help guide you towards the right commercial cleaning company for you as you consider your options.

Medical or healthcare cleaning requires special care and attention
Healthcare facilities require special attention and a different level of cleaning services. If you don’t get the feeling that the cleaning companies you are talking to have experience cleaning in the healthcare industry it would be wise to explore other options.
Keeping kids safe is what school cleaning is all about
It is incredibly important to have experience with daycare cleaning. Would you want your kids crawling on dirty floors? You learn quite a lot after cleaning private schools and colleges, so make sure you find a cleaning company that has been there before.
Dealership cleaning is tough, but if you have it figured out there shouldn’t be a problem
Walls of glass and high shine showroom floors are meant to make cars look great. Fingerprints and smudges can ruin first impressions, so finding a cleaning company that has cleaned dealerships is crucial. Unless you want to risk it.

Industries we serve
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?
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.
