WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN HIRING A MEDICAL JANITORIAL SERVICE
Hiring a medical janitorial service can seem exhausting. When you wear many hats at your job, arranging for medical office cleaning can take a back seat.
WHY YOU NEED MEDICAL OFFICE CLEANING SERVICES
Patients spend much time in your lobbies and exam rooms. They should notice how clean and well-maintained your facility is as they wait. Without regular medical cleaning services, your patients may see unsightly dirt, trash, and grim. Once a patient develops a negative impression of your medical office, word travels fast.
HIRING A MEDICAL JANITORIAL SERVICE
Taking on the challenge of interviewing janitorial companies can take a considerable amount of time. Prepare a list of cleaning requirements ready to discuss with prospective commercial cleaners. A solid medical office cleaning service will often have questions you may have yet to discover. Always ask for customer references from potential prospects. Their customers will give you a better idea of what you can expect. A reputable medical office cleaning service will have an excellent attendance track record. Customer references should have plenty of detailed information to share.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT TO PAY FOR MEDICAL OFFICE CLEANING
Money is tight in most industries. When hiring a commercial cleaning company, it is common to try to save as much money as possible. The cost between business cleaning competitors can vary widely. This shouldn’t be the only factor when making your final selection. For instance, your lowest bid could come from a less established cleaning company. Newly established commercial cleaning companies or mom-and-pop companies can often struggle to keep to cleaning schedules. In addition, they may not have the equipment to perform all the services your facility requires.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE RISING COST OF COMMERCIAL CLEANING
Commercial Cleaning Companies are similar to the rest of the world. They have experienced the rising cost of supplies and labor. Some commercial cleaning companies charge by the square foot. At the same time, others calculate the time it will take to clean your facility. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the average commercial cleaner employee makes between $15.00 and $22.00 per hour or more. These employees usually do not receive benefits through their employer.
ADDITIONAL COST OF OWNING A COMMERCIAL CLEANING COMPANY
Once you have factored in the number of cleaners that will clean your facility, payroll, equipment, chemicals, and overhead, you better understand why commercial cleaning costs have increased. Since a cleaning company’s prices vary drastically, getting at least three quotes is wise. Make your selection based on the price, reputation, and level of customer service your prospects offer.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING COMMERCIAL CLEANING COMPANIES
- Will your facility require a 5-day-a-week service, or would you prefer the cleaning crew to arrive on specified days?
- Medical office hours vary. What time would you like your cleaning crew to begin cleaning each day?
- Mistakes and theft can be costly. Is your prospect licensed, insured, and bonded?
- Medical environments require special cleaning agents. Make sure the commercial cleaning company uses hospital-grade disinfectant.
- Sponsored lunches can leave a mess to clean up. Will your new cleaning company clean your kitchen/breakroom and load your dishwasher each evening?
- Some cleaning companies only spot mop and vacuum. Does the cleaning company you are considering hiring vacuum and detail mop every time they clean?
These questions should get you started on your journey.
