On this blog, we talk a lot about the importance of hiring a reliable, professional San Diego cleaning service, and the truth is, the importance of this topic can’t be stressed enough. The cleaning service that you hire will be one of the largest, if not the largest contributor in forming that crucial first impression that clients, potential clients, and visitors have of your office, and of your business.

If you have a small business, and particularly  if you are just starting out, you may question the importance of hiring a maintenance and janitorial cleaning service. The truth is, that as your business grows, you will naturally need to devote more of your (and your employees) time, energy, and resources toward business operations. With that being said, here are five questions that anyone thinking of hiring a professional San Diego cleaning service should ask:

1. Do you have references? Any reputable cleaning service should have references that you can check and follow up on.
2. Do you have liability insurance? This is extremely important, both for the cleaning service, and for you, in the event that one of their workers becomes injured or breaks something in your office while working.
3. How do you charge? By the hour? By the day? By the project? What types of cleaning services and cleaning supplies are included in this charge? Be sure that you read the fine print of any service contract carefully before signing.
4. What kind of guarantees do you offer on your services?
5. What is your customer service policy? A receptive, responsive customer service staff can make all the difference
