Should You Use In-House Staff To Clean Your Office?

If you own a small to medium-sized business, you are probably focused on running your business. That is how it should be. However, one of the things that people do not think about when they start a new business is how it is going to be cleaned. When you own the business, you can choose to handle the office cleaning in-house, or you can hire a commercial cleaning company to handle it for you.

Most people do not even realize that the office where they work gets cleaned; they kind of assume it always looks that way. But the truth is that a cleaning company probably comes in each evening to clean out the trash cans, get rid of the recycling and sweep the floors. These companies also likely clean the restrooms and any kitchen areas you may have. Depending upon the specific arrangements with the cleaning company, they may even handle the dusting once per week. One of the main benefits to outsourcing your office cleaning is that is means you do not have to think about it. You can focus on your business, as you should and not have to worry about whether or not the trash is being taken care of.

If you hire your own in-house cleaners, you know that cleaning will get done, but you will have to be involved in things like hiring staff, managing sick time and dealing with the kinds of issues that are involved anytime you hire new staff. The best answer is to outsource this function.

Outsourcing your cleaning costs also usually saves you money. Chances are that if you hired your own cleaning staff, you would have to provide them with the same benefits as the rest of your staff. However, it is likely that the cleaning company doesn't provide those kinds of benefits, which makes them more inexpensive to hire. Another benefit of hiring a commercial company to clean your office is that they are probably better at it than you are. They have better machines to clean a lot of different surfaces and they have better cleaning agents. They also probably have a lot more knowledge about how to prevent things from getting dirty and how to clean them once they are dirty.

It is also likely that a commercial company has a better way to handle anything that needs to be removed from your office. This can be as simple as having procedures in place on how to handle basic recycling items like office paper, but will also extend to how they handle recycling plastic and many of the other odd items that get thrown away in a standard office. If you occasionally have items that are toxic that need to be thrown away, the cleaning company probably already known how they need to be handled and they have methods to have them removed more easily than you could do on your own. A recent survey was done and they found that the average cost of using an in-house cleaning crew costs an average of 23% more than if you hired a commercial company.
