Are Commercial Cleaning Services Expensive?

Image
  I get it...we're small business owners too. Everywhere you look you're seeing a price increase here and a price increase there. Your employees are facing the same and you'd be a rarity if they haven't asked for a raise yet. But do you realize what goes into pricing, and what we can take off of your shoulder in terms of cost? We can actually SAVE you money.  The below guide talks about pricing on aa 30K foot view but I'll dive in deeper to share what goes into pricing and the money you can save by hiring a professional cleaning service like Clean Line Janitorial Services.  The 30K Foot View... If you were to Google around you'd find high rates listed like $200-$400 per clean for a 1000 sqft office. I've seen some square footage rates online as high as 12 cents per square foot (so a 10,000 sqft office would be $1200!!). These are all wrong! Nationwide, the average cost for cleaning services is roughly $30/hour for basic cleaning for commercial properties for...

Top 10 Cleaning Service Solutions to Common Questions

Image
  We get asked all the time about our cleaning. Many of our competitors do different things and it can be puzzling. But we have the solutions. Most of these questions are around a problem or pain point that location is experiencing. Below is our Top 10 ranked from years of past experience. 1) What do you plan to do for our facility? There are variants of this question but at the end of the day our future clients want to know exactly what you'll do for them. Moreover, they want to know HOW you'll do these tasks. If you're vacuuming, is it wall-to-wall vacuuming or is it just spot vacuuming? If the cleaning company is cleaning desks, is it the entire desk or are you only cleaning desks that you think are being used?  Clean Line Janitorial Services includes a Scope of Work within each and every proposal so you can exactly see what is included and what isn't included, down to each room/area and even to the task and its frequency. We build this Scope of Work based on your ex...

Are Your Cleaner's Chemicals Making You Sick?

Image
  Whether accepted or not, you'll spend seemingly endless hours inside your office going over that next TPS Report or using your glazed-over eyes to look for trends in that spreadsheet your co-worker sent you. You're sitting at your desk for long periods of time and physically touching it for much of that time. What's lurking under the surface level of the desk?  In the last post, we talked about germs , but what chemicals did your cleaner leave behind to kill those germs? There was one time we cleaned at a private school and the school called us in to discuss the cleaning products we used on site. It was nearly the start of the school year and their facilities manager and business manager disclosed they have a new student on campus who is allergic to everything. It was so much so that any residual cleaning product left on a desk or lunchroom table could not only make the student sick but send him to the hospital. Together we came up with a sanitizing plan and a water-rinse...

Is Your Office Really as Clean as It Should Be?

Image
  Ever had that one co-worker who comes to work sick and ends up sharing their germs with the entire office? It happens more often than you'd think. But what about your desk—do you know if it’s being cleaned properly? Or are you feeling a bit uneasy right now, imagining invisible germs lurking on your keyboard? Germs and allergens are everywhere. While we can't eliminate them entirely, we can take proactive steps to create a healthier office environment. The first line of defense? A quality cleaning company with a strong sanitizing and disinfecting plan. Consider these statistics from the National Institutes of Health: The average person spends 87% of their time indoors. 98% of office workers will contract a contagious illness at some point, often due to poor cleaning and sanitation practices. The typical office desk hosts over 10 million bacteria—yikes! Bacteria levels on surfaces increase by up to 31% per day when not cleaned regularly. A clean office can reduce sick days by ...
