subject: Cleaning Companies Provide Welcome Services [print this page] In Australia there are a number of excellent cleaning companies that provide a wide range of cleaning services both in the commercial cleaning and domestic cleaning areas.
While most large corporations will have cleaning contracts in place with cleaning companies, quite often smaller businesses try to handle the cleaning needs of the premises themselves. The business owners may take on responsibility for carpet cleaning, emptying rubbish bins, dusting down areas and maintaining the toilets and wash basins but this can become an arduous task especially at the end of a long day in the office or shop. Alternatively some business owners will seek the cooperation of staff to maintain their personal space in a tidy manner and take responsibility for emptying bins at the end of each day.
Most staff will also exercise cleanliness in the toilet areas but this is not always the case and if visitors call it can be a big downfall for your business if it is seen as being untidy and unclean. The third avenue small business often looks to in relation to commercial cleaning is asking one of the junior staff to undertake it. While that staff member may appear willing to do the office cleaning the reality is that he or she will not enjoy this task and would not have expected to be cleaning when starting in a new job, with hopes of pursuing a career of some sort. Commercial cleaning is not on the agenda of new staff and can be belittling to them when they are asked to do it.
Rather than taking on the task of office cleaning your self as a business owner, or endeavouring to have staff take care of these tasks it is far more economical to outsource the work to any one of a number of good cleaning companies. Simply by going onto the internet you will be able to check out cleaning companies offering services in your area.
These cleaning companies do a far more thorough job than you or your staff. They have the equipment on hand and maintain it to ensure that cleaning is efficient and effective. High powered commercial vacuum cleaners (which would be expensive for small business to purchase) are always used by commercial cleaning companies when they are retained for this sort of work. The additional benefit of commercial cleaning companies being retained for office cleaning is their access to heavy duty shampooing machines which can quickly clear stains and marks from carpet in high or low traffic arrears. Quite often coffee is spilled, toner may be inadvertently dusted onto carpet with bad stain marks being the result.
Commercial cleaning companies can arrange to have such stains removed overnight the carpet being dry and ready for business the next day. There is some work required by staff boxes and paper that may be on the floor need to be removed to a higher area so that the shampoo cleaning is effective. Retaining the services of cleaning companies for your office cleaning, domestic cleaning or housekeeping is a very worthwhile exercise.
