What does a commercial cleaner do?

A commercial cleaner is a general term for a person or company that provides professional cleaning services to a business like shops, offices, restaurants, factories and hospitals. Cleaning services can vary from one customer to another and from cleaner to cleaner based on their experience and the requirements from dusting the office to removing a nasty stain from a carpet that the normal guy won’t be able to take care off. Generally, commercial cleaners are equipped with the required chemicals and tools to perform a highly professional service. 

What do commercial cleaners clean?

• Clean all Floors

Commercial Cleaner Services

A professional commercial cleaning company will want to visit your premises first to discuss your requirements and to see what they have to clean before agreeing on a cost. They will then draw up a contract with a cleaning schedule for your business. When contracting a cleaner, you need to think about everything you want them to do. Some companies may request a weekly window clean and floor clean and do everything else themselves, and others will wish to a detailed cleaning schedule to be followed that includes tasks such as:-

Weekly

• Clean windows (inside and outside)
• Clean all floors
• Remove rubbish from desk bins
• Dust all desks and reception surfaces
• Clean toilets and replenish towels and toilet rolls

Monthly

• Clean fridge and microwave

6 Monthly

• All carpets should be cleaned

Most commercial cleaning companies like BRCT will also offer ad hoc services such as the end of tenancy deep cleaning services, graffiti removal, after building works cleaning and gutter cleaning.

5 Reasons Why You Should Contract A Commercial Cleaner

Time

If you run a busy business, it is unlikely you will have time to add cleaning to your list of tasks. Your staff will be employed for a specific purpose; therefore they may not consider cleaning to be part of their job. Also, it may be more productive and make more financial sense to have your staff spending their time doing their professional job. A commercial cleaner will arrive at your business premises when contracted to do so and will carry out all the jobs in their contract. Cleaning will get done, whether you are busy or not. 

Cleaning Equipment

The vast majority of businesses will have a sweeping brush, maybe a few dusters and some polish, but if you employ a cleaning company, they will arrive with everything they need to carry out their work. Depending on your premises and their contract this could include industrial carpet cleaning machines, water-fed poles for cleaning high windows, and floor polishers.

Insurance

An excellent commercial cleaning company will be insured to use their equipment and to work on your premises. Are your staff certified?

Reliability

A commercial cleaning company will have many trained cleaners, therefore will be able to complete your regular cleaning contract even during holiday periods and staff illness. If you leave this task to your staff, it is likely to get put to the bottom of the list of tasks when you are short-staffed during holiday periods or are very busy.

Business Premises Cleanliness

Maintaining a clean place of work is essential for many reasons. If your business is customer-facing, it must be clean and fresh at all times, or it is unlikely that customers will return. Your staff also need to work in a clean environment. Not only are they likely to work harder, but they are less likely to be off work sick if they are well looked after and work in a clean and tidy office.
