There are a couple of ways to do some research when you question a company’s credibility. There’s an eyeball test that just about anyone knows how to use. You maybe do a google search for a certain commercial cleaner in the area. Results will eventually pop up. Details about that company. Just click on their website. When you are looking at their website, most of their details will be shown at you, okay, this office cleaner seems legitimate. What if you have tried to search for a cleaning company that you just heard from a referral and you looked everywhere including the top social media but you could not find them everywhere. That right there is a red flag. They do not even have a website. That is one sure hit to their credibility. Sometimes, the cleaning company does have a website but you will encounter an error message saying the site is not secured. I do not click on those kinds of website. I will not even put any information on there.

Big companies who are looking to employ commercial cleaners normally do their own research. They normally check the credit standing of that vendor and yes, companies have credit report too. Ratings also play an important factor when it comes to qualifying the vendor nowadays.

Another way of determining the credibility of your commercial cleaner is through their accepted payment channels. This is a big one. Identify if the cleaner accepts cash only, do they accept checks, if they accept credit card payments, do they have a credit card authorization form to ask the customer’s permission to charge the card? Are they part of merchant services? Do they have a business bank account? Can their customer wire funds into that business account? All legitimate cleaning businesses have these things. 

Is your commercial cleaning business insured? Do you have your worker’s insurance? Or are you just some guy on the street that is looking for some cheap dollar in exchange for some work? Most of the time, cleaners who offer cheap services do not have insurance. Yes, you can get the service at a cost that you can comfortably afford but if these people get hurt while doing their job in your facility, you will be liable for them. There are also instances when these fellows that you contracted to do the cleaning for you will damage your property. Accidents can happen anytime in the commercial cleaning industry and it is a very wise move to get a contractor who is secured. A company having insurance protects the customer and not just the business. It also protects the personnel, the equipment and their properties too. There’s a lot of hazards involved in commercial cleaning that is why insurance is a big factor when it comes to determining a vendor’s credibility. How would you know if the vendor is insured? Very simple! Ask the vendor to show you a certificate of insurance and make sure that it is valid when you looked at it. Getting a copy of insurance is free and the vendor should be able to give it to you with no difficulties. All of the factors that has been said here, the credibility of a quality cleaning service has been already claimed by Clean Group.  

Now, ask yourselves these questions whenever you consider hiring an office cleaning company because these are what separate these commercial cleaners out there. It is not necessarily about the business cards that they give out. Most of the time, the customer will always go for a cheap buy. When you see an offer that is too good to be true, think again. Make some sense out of the bargain. Do not just give in to irresistible offers and bargains because these can bite you back. You have to ask yourself these questions so that you can properly choose amongst these commercial cleaners.
