Knowing how to switch your office cleaning company makes the change easier than most office managers expect. With a short checklist, the change is planned in advance and your office never misses a visit.
BizProClean offers office cleaning services in Northern Virginia and Maryland, and we plan the changeover with you.
How to Switch Your Office Cleaning Company in 7 Steps
- 1. Read your current agreement. Find the notice period and the end date.
- 2. List what is going wrong. Missed tasks, missed visits or slow answers.
- 3. Walk the office with the next company. Show every room and every problem spot.
- 4. Get a written checklist and quote. Tasks, frequencies and visit days, in writing.
- 5. Give notice in writing. Keep a copy with the date.
- 6. Plan the handover. Keys, alarm codes, badges and the supply closet.
- 7. Check the first visits. Walk the office after the first week and report anything missed.
Signs It Is Time to Change
- The same spots are missed week after week.
- Supplies run out before they are restocked.
- Nobody answers when you report a problem.
- There is no written checklist to point to.
What to Ask the Next Company
- Who supervises the crew, and how often?
- What is on the checklist for each visit?
- Who is my contact, and how fast do you answer?
- Which products do you use?
OSHA requires employers to keep safety data sheets for the hazardous chemicals their workers use. Any cleaner you hire should be able to show you the sheets for its products.
