No. Any contractor confident of their work won’t lock you into a contract. Consider a month to month agreement based on performance and make sure to have an exit (termination clause) just in case.

The cost to clean a small office depends on the frequency of service, square footage of the office and your cleaning needs. Most janitorial service companies have a minimum service charge of about 500 per month for weekly service. Most offices under 3000 sq. ft will fit this price range. The hourly rate will come to be between 35 and 50 per service hour.
The answer depends on your end goal. If you seek to save money, hiring a janitor directly will do so. If you seek quality work, hiring a janitorial service company will have you covered in case the janitorial personnel are sick, need materials or equipment. It will also ensure good quality service to keep your contract.
To submit a janitorial service quotation, we have to figure out the cost of service and profit margin based on your cleaning needs. The square footage of your office, the frequency of service, the type of floors and your cleaning expectations will dictate how much time a sanitation specialist will need to keep you account clean. Once we know how long it would take to clean your office, we figure out the total monthly number of hours and multiply by the going rate. At the time it is between 35 and 50 uds per man hours. Minimum service charges apply.
Increase the frequency of cleaning. Trucking companies, metal shops and warehouses are an example of this type of clientele. There is no easy way to do it but to keep constant attention to vacuuming and to wipe cleaning furnishings. These places are usually serviced daily.
Keep air vents, ducts and filters clean. Replace filters every month if needed, it help a lot.
Vacuum floors. When sweeping the floors do not use brooms as it will only move dust from one place to another. Use back-vacs for best results.
Only if agreed upon in writing. I seen multinational companies have this type of agreement with service providers on large projects. I have not seen this arrangement on smaller clients. What I recommend is to hire a service provider on a month-to-month basis.
No. There is no need to get into a long-term contract with a company you have not tried. We recommend hiring a company on a month-to-month basis to make sure the agreement works for both parties. Usually, the companies pushing for a long contract is because they will sell that contract to a third party.
Yes. Since office cleaning companies charge based on the time it takes to service your facility you can decrease the frequency of service to once or twice per week. Consider having the cleaning company service only common areas (hall ways, lunchrooms, restrooms).
In the case of hair salons, it helps a lot organizing every work station and picking up cords off of the floor.
All disinfectants work as long as you follow the instructions of use. We prefer Clorox. It works for floors as well as furnishings. Make sure not to use it over rugs or over chrome as it will damage it. If you seek something different visit the CDC website for disinfectant use and suggestions, follow this link
The answer is simple, they are not paying enough for the worker. Most cleaning personnel live pay check to pay check. Also, many janitorial contractors hire cleaning crews as subcontractors to avoid paying employer taxes. This only causes a big expense for the janitor when reporting taxes as he/she will now have to pay the employers and employee taxes all together.
Screen them well and pay them living wages. The goal is to find personnel already familiar with this type of work. Searching for personnel already working in the cleaning industry will lead you to more steady workers. It is best to hire part time employees to work at least 3 hours at night or weekends. The perfect workers on our experience already have full time work and seek to work 10 to 20 hrs per week.
