Following the following steps may help you avoid stress about the cleanliness of your business and common blunders when hiring a commercial cleaning company.

1. Avoid hiring the first commercial cleaner that you interview. Even you already have a commercial cleaning company on your payroll, take time to interview a few more to ensure you are getting the best cleaning and sanitizing commercial cleaning services during the Covid-19 crisis. If your cleaner is only vacuuming and dusting your office, it the time to change your commercial cleaner.
   
2. Do not select a commercial cleaning company that Is not a specialized cleaner in the type of business you are running. There is a distinction between a general commercial cleaning company and the commercial cleaning company that is catered to your type of work. If you are operating a medical facility, bank, or commercial office space, you need a different type of specialized cleaning company that are familiar how to pay extra attention to the details of your operations, and use proper techniques, equipment, and cleaning materials.
   
3. Don’t assign hiring the cleaning company to an employee or mid-level manager with hidden agenda. Make sure they have no conflict of interest, and they refrain from hiring commercial cleaning company owned or operated by their family member or friends. Ensure that you don’t leave any room for back door kick-back schemes. If you run multiple office operations, don’t allow a manager of specific location to select their own commercial cleaning company or an individual. This is a sign of trouble.
   
4. Ask for referrals and insurance certificates, especially the Workers’ Compensation insurance certificate. You don’t want to cover the occupational accidents caused by your commercial cleaners. It will be extremely costly.
   
5. Make sure you know how you are paying the commercial cleaner including the labor, supply, and materials. Alternatively, do not accept the lowest unreasonable bit that you receive. Insist on hiring a company that employs their cleaning crews as opposed to outsourcing the cleaning jobs.
   

Commercial cleaning is a very specialized, and labor-intensive work. Like dealing with any other of your supply chain vendors, you need to spend a bit of time and research to select your best-fit commercial cleaner. Post Corona crisis, commercial cleaning has evolved, so ensure that your current commercial cleaner has evolved with the recent guidelines and health protocols.
