Hiring a professional office cleaning company for your Chesapeake, Norfolk or Virginia Beach office doesn’t only contribute to an environment that’s clean and sanitary, it can also impress clients and create a more productive workspace for employees.
But as you shop around and compare quotes, you might be tempted to choose the office cleaning company with the lowest price. This can benefit your pocket, but cheap service doesn’t always correspond with great service.
Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure you know the potential dangers of hiring the lowest bidder.
#1. You get what you pay for
There’s truth behind this statement.
Bottom line: If the price seems too-good-to-be-true, than it probably is. The company with the best price can promise to fulfill every need on your wish list, but they might not complete these tasks to “your” satisfaction.
Charging too little often means that a company can’t afford to hire supervisors to assist with quality control. And the company might not be able to afford quality equipment or supplies to get the job done right. So even though your monthly bill is super affordable, your service might be less than superb.
#2. The company might not have insurance
You need to work with an office cleaning company that’s insured, bonded and licensed. If you receive a surprisingly low price for services, there’s a good chance that the company doesn’t have these protections, which explains how they can afford to beat out the competition.
#3. The company doesn’t offer its employees adequate compensation
A low bid from an office cleaning company can also mean that the company pays its employees minimum wage. This is their choice. Even so, janitorial work can be physically exhausting. And if employees feel underpaid, they might not give 100% of their effort. Companies with lower wages tend to experience higher turnovers, resulting in different people cleaning your office every few weeks.
