đ§š CUSTOMER MISTAKES: Assuming Every Cleaning Quote Is the Same
When comparing commercial cleaning companies, itâs tempting to look at the monthly price and choose the lowest bid.
But hereâs something worth considering:
Are you actually comparing the same services?
Two cleaning companies can walk through the exact same building and provide very different quotes.
And thereâs often a reason.
Before choosing a cleaning provider, consider these five questions:
â
Cleaning Frequency: Are all areas being serviced at the same frequency?
â
Scope of Work: Whatâs included in routine cleaning, and what costs extra?
â
Floor Care: Is periodic carpet cleaning or floor maintenance included?
â
Supplies: Who provides paper products, soap, trash liners, and cleaning supplies?
â
Quality Control: How will you know the agreed-upon work is being completed?
đĄ Something to remember: A lower price doesnât always mean a better value. Sometimes it simply means fewer services are included.
At General Building Maintenance Corp., we believe understanding a facilityâs needs and establishing clear expectations are important parts of building a successful cleaning relationship.
The takeaway?
Before comparing prices, compare whatâs actually included.
A well-defined cleaning agreement can prevent misunderstandings, unexpected expenses, and frustration down the road.
