You may be wondering if you really need to partner with a cleaning provider that customizes cleaning services for your organization. If you think general cleaning services are all the same, here’s why more organizations are choosing custom cleaning services than ever before.
The Benefits of Custom Cleaning Services
You may be surprised to learn that not all cleaning services are the same. From knowing which type of surface cleaner to use on polished concrete floors to identifying the best way to deep clean carpets, there are many facility factors that general cleaning companies simply do not have the expertise to address.
When you partner with a custom cleaning company, you can be confident you’re adding a team of cleaning experts to your organization. Those experts have the ability to not only identify the optimal cleaning program for your facility—they can also help answer any questions you may have at every stage. But that’s not the only benefit of a customized cleaning program.
Align a Cleaning Plan With Your Goals
Sure, generalized cleaning services may ensure that trash cans don’t overflow and dust doesn’t collect on surfaces, but how are they helping you achieve your organizational objectives? Many times, they aren’t. On the other hand, custom cleaning services can be tailored to match your business’s broader goals.
Maybe you want to reduce operating expenses, free your team from worrying about daily maintenance, minimize common allergens, or reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 at your facility. Whatever your goals are, a custom cleaning solution allows you to select a cleaning regimen geared toward achieving them.
Custom Services Can Be More Cost-Effective
You may be under the impression that custom cleaning services have to be more expensive than standard cleaning services. However, the opposite is often the case. For general cleaning services, you’re frequently charged one flat monthly fee for a suite of services, some of which you may need but others you may not.
Many general cleaning companies don’t allow you to opt out of certain packaged services. As a result, you may end up overspending on cleaning services that don’t necessarily benefit your organization. Choosing a customized cleaning plan ensures you get the most value from every dollar you spend on cleaning services.
Simplify Green Cleaning Initiatives
More organizations than ever have started prioritizing green cleaning programs that ensure the safety and health of employees, customers, and visitors. However, implementing a sustainable green cleaning program across an entire organization can be challenging. From selecting the best green cleaning products to training a team on how to use them, these challenges can prevent you from going green altogether.
Generalized cleaning companies often do not provide your organization with the option to use green cleaning products to begin with. Even if they do, how can you really be sure that they’re really green and consistently used across your facility?
When you choose customized cleaning services, you specify precisely how you want things done, which products you want to be used, and why you want them done that way to keep your cleaning team in sync with your broader sustainability initiatives. Plus, your expert cleaning consultant can show you exactly which green products are being used at your facility.
Cleaning Services Only Improve Over Time
If you’ve relied on generalized cleaning services at your facility in the past, you’ve likely grown accustomed to inevitable service degradation over time. Many general cleaning companies work hard to keep you happy at first but soon grow complacent once you’re a tenured client.
With the custom cleaning solution, on the other hand, a dedicated team of cleaning experts first takes the time to get to know your facility from top to bottom—and that’s merely the beginning. Each time those experts clean your facility, they get to know it a little better. They identify more effective ways to clean your facility, improve cleaning efficiency over time, and learn how to deliver results that consistently exceed your expectations.
