Outsourced janitorial services mean a cleaning company does the work on a fixed schedule. In-house cleaning means your own employee does it. For most offices under 10,000 square feet, outsourcing is the simpler choice.
BizProClean offers janitorial services in Northern Virginia and Maryland, on evenings and weekends, from a written scope.
In-House Cleaning vs Outsourced Janitorial Services
In-house cleaning
- You hire, train and supervise the cleaner
- You buy the equipment, chemicals and supplies
- You cover sick days and vacations
- You carry the employer duties, including chemical safety training
Outsourced janitorial services
- The company hires, trains and supervises the crew
- The company brings the equipment and chemicals
- The cleaning continues when someone is out
- You get one invoice and one point of contact
When In-House Cleaning Makes Sense
A very small office with light traffic can manage with staff wiping surfaces and a weekly tidy. Once you have restrooms, a break room and visitors, the work needs a routine and someone accountable for it.
What Employers Must Handle With In-House Cleaning
If your own employee uses cleaning chemicals, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard applies to you: labels, safety data sheets and training. Workers' compensation rules apply too. With an outside company, those duties sit with the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to clean in-house or to outsource?
It depends on the size of the office and the hours the work takes. Count the hidden costs of in-house cleaning: supervision, supplies, equipment and cover for absences.
What do outsourced janitorial services include?
Trash, restrooms, floors, dusting and shared surfaces on a fixed schedule, with the crew, the equipment and the supervision supplied by the company.
Who supervises an outsourced cleaning crew?
The cleaning company does. You deal with one contact, not with each cleaner.
Can we switch from in-house cleaning to an outside company?
Yes. A walkthrough and a written scope are all it takes to start, and your staff can go back to their own work.
