DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

Does it really matter who you hire to clean your commercial facility or office?  After all, there are far more important things in your budget, right?  Besides, anyone can do a cleaning job, can’t they? The answers may surprise you.

 

First of all, does it matter who you hire to do your cleaning?  Looking past all the marketing and catchy slogans, can one janitorial company really be better than another?  In short, the answer to both questions is yes, but why?

 

Cleanliness requires much more than to simply spray and wipe surfaces.  Air quality needs to be considered, and that requires careful selection of cleaning chemicals. With the proper processes, the use of harsh, toxic, environmentally damaging chemicals can be reduced or eliminated altogether.  In the last few decades, technological advances have brought about revolutionary new products that drastically lower the janitorial industry's impact on the environment - both indoor and outdoor.  Strangely though, many of these products are simply not used by cleaning companies in Canada. That’s unfortunate because the use of many of these technologies can help us all to be happier and healthier and more productive at work.  

 

That leads us to the second point.  Are there more important things in your budget?  That is a question every manager must decide for themselves, however, in most companies, janitorial services are the last priority and the first place to cut costs, but that comes at a large cost in other areas.  

 

It has long been known that a cleaner, healthier building leads to increased worker productivity, with the same financial benefits as cutting as much as 10% out of the budget.  So why are companies constantly trying to cut their cleaning budget?

You may have noticed yourself that if you are in a store, restaurant or other such business, you stay longer and enjoy your experience much more if the facility, including its washrooms are clean.  You may even spend more money. 

Is this a coincidence.  Not at all. It is simply the practical application of proven science.

 

How about the common view:  “Anyone can clean.” The janitorial profession is just that, a profession. and just like other professional industries it requires training and experience to provide the best service possible. Also like many other professions, it is not regulated and anyone can offer janitorial services without training, experience or even insurance.
