Do you ever find yourself wondering how hard cleaning your own building could possibly be? You might think, “Why would we pay a janitorial company to clean our building when we can just do it ourselves?” After all, if you already do recruiting for other positions in your company, how much extra work could it be to recruit an extra person or two to do the cleaning? Or better yet, can’t you just ask the employees you already have to pitch in and clean a toilet from time to time?
It might all sound reasonable, but let’s run through a cost-benefit analysis, because cleaning your own building might be more work than you’re counting on. Below are some of the reasons business owners choose to leave cleaning to the professionals.
Here are the top ten reasons that businesses hire a commercial cleaning company:
- Cleaning is hard work, and not many people enjoy it. Hiring a cleaning company is an employee benefit. Most of your employees don’t want to clean your toilets.
- Business owners want to focus on their business, not cleaning. (After all, if you wanted to manage commercial cleaning, you would run a commercial cleaning company, right?)
- Business owners do not want to hire, fire or manage janitors.
- Office managers do not want to research or purchase cleaning equipment.
- Businesses want cleaning experts to assist with floor care and other complex building maintenance issues.
- Clean buildings attract customers.
- They also help retain employees.
- Clean buildings are healthier.
- Clean buildings are safer. And most importantly…
- People like clean buildings and dislike dirty buildings.
