When you are choosing a janitorial service to clean for your business, you may not know where to start. You want a company that you can trust and who will provide quality work at an affordable price. These are the key questions to ask when selecting a janitorial service.

1. Who do you use? If you don’t know how to go about choosing a janitorial service for your business, start by asking other business owners who they use. Those business owners can tell you whether they are pleased with the service that they are receiving, and you can look at their office or business space for yourself and see whether the cleaning service is up to your standards. Letting a stranger into your business to clean unattended can be nerve-wracking; a good recommendation from a trusted colleague can make the process much more comfortable.

2. What do you charge? Ask for a price quote from several different services so that you can compare. There can be significant variation, particularly if you are comparing uninsured individuals who clean as a side job versus experienced, insured cleaning services.

3. Are you insured and accredited? When you choose a service that is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and is insured, you get peace of mind that surprises and problems won’t pop up down the road. Accreditation through the Better Business Bureau lets you know that this is a legitimate, professional janitorial service that you are dealing with. It is vital that the janitorial service maintains insurance for its employees in the event that a janitor is injured while working at your office.

4. What do I get for that price? It is important to make sure that you are choosing the service that gives you the most for your money, not just the lowest flat rate. Be sure to outline exactly what services are provided for the rate that you have been quoted, and how often those services will be performed. For example, you might want to specify to the cleaning services that you want the following tasks performed:

    1. Trash cans emptied daily
    2. Bathrooms cleaned daily
    3. Floors swept daily
    4. Windows cleaned weekly
    5. Surfaces dusted weekly
   
   

   This way you can be sure that you are fairly comparing prices from one service to another. It also prevents any confusion between you and the company that you choose as to what your cleaning expectations are.

5. Do you build partnerships? Some janitorial services just want to get in and out of your office and go home. Other janitorial services strive to build partnerships with their business clients. When you hire a professional janitorial service, you are choosing the people who will help you present your business to the public. You should share a vision with your janitorial service as to how your business should look to all the customers who visit you each day.

These five key questions can help you to select the janitorial service that is best for you.

If you run a business, you probably know that there are a lot of little details that go along with your business that have to be taken care of. However, these details often keep you from addressing the real goal of your business. Janitorial services are one such detail. You need to concentrate on getting your work done, not cleaning the office. You can focus on your business by hiring a janitorial service to handle the cleaning for you. This is just one of the ways in which hiring a janitorial service can help you save money.

1. Hiring a janitorial service allows you, the business owner, and your employees to accomplish the goals of your business. If it is left up to your employees to handle cleaning chores, the flow of work is interrupted. When an employee drinks a cup of coffee, he then has to stop afterward to wash his mug and put it away. In this instance, the simple act of drinking a cup of coffee interrupts the work you are trying to accomplish and delays the time before the employee gets back to work. It isn't just the few minutes that it takes to wash a coffee mug that is at issue; once the employee gets up to wash the mug, he may easily end up talking with others for a few minutes while standing in the kitchen. One distraction leads to another, and before you know it, a cup of coffee costs half an hour of work time. Lost time is lost money.

2. A clean office keeps your employees healthy. It's important to keep your office clean and germ free to prevent the spread of illness. When one employee catches a bug, it doesn't take long before every employee in the office is sick. Keeping your office as clean as possible will help to cut down on the spread of illness, which reduces the number of sick days taken by your employees and saves you money.

3. A clean office improves the appearance of your business and attracts customers. It can be difficult to keep up with day to day cleaning when you are running a business, much less tackle big cleaning projects. Hiring a janitorial service will hand over that responsibility to the professionals so that your office or business is always as clean as it can possibly be. A fresh, clean business place will always attract more customers than a business that appears to be a little bit run down or in need of maintenance.

Call Service Plus of AZ for your office janitorial needs. We provide janitorial cleaning services on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. In addition, we offer sanitizing programs to help keep your office germ-free and healthy for your employees and clients. We will work with you to develop a scope of work so that you get exactly the services that you are looking for. If you want to save money by hiring a janitorial service, contact Service Plus of AZ.

Between work, taking care of family, and running back and forth to activities and commitments, it can be tough to find time to deep clean your house. The good news is that once you get a house cleaning system in place, you can keep your home clean with just a few minutes of work each day.

The best way to start is to tackle one room at a time. If you have a limited amount of time, choose the room that makes the biggest impact. That is usually the kitchen:

• First, put away any clutter on the counters.
• Slide the toaster back into its cabinet.
• Put food away in the pantry.
• Gather up the school papers from the kitchen table.
• Next, empty the sink.
• Load the dirty dishes into the dishwasher and turn it on.
• Now, scrub out your sink. If your sink is stainless steel, scrubbing it quickly with an SOS pad can make a world of difference in how clean your kitchen appears.
• Quickly wipe down counters and tables with a disinfectant wipe.
• Run a swiffer over the floor, and the kitchen is done.

• Empty the small bathroom trash cans into the bigger kitchen can, and take all the trash outside.
• Bathroom counters tend to be a hot spot for gathering beauty products and other bottles and tubes of stuff. Gather up the lotions, toothpastes, shampoos, and makeup, and slide them away in a drawer or cabinet under the sink.
• Grab the towels and dirty clothes from the floor and toss them in the hamper.
• Make sure the shower curtain is closed.
• Hit the counters and toilet with an antibacterial wipe.

The two big jobs are out of the way. Now you need to de-clutter. Get your family involved. Have everyone spend five minutes walking around the house and picking up anything that belongs to them and putting it away. This is also a good time to have each person take their dirty laundry to the laundry room and put their clean laundry away in their dresser.

This daily quick clean should take less than 30 minutes each day. It’s also a good idea to try to do one load of laundry each day. Otherwise, it might take you all day on Saturday to get caught up. Now that you have a daily routine, you can make a schedule for the deeper cleaning that needs to be done periodically.

It is helpful to designate each day of the week to tackle a larger or irregular chore. For example, try this schedule:

• Monday : vacuum carpets, sweep and mop tile or wood floors
• Tuesday : change and wash bedding
• Wednesday : deep clean the kitchen (scrub inside microwave, clean the top of the stove and wash grates, clean out the fridge)
• Thursday : deep clean bathrooms (scrub inside toilets, wash the floor, and shine mirrors)
• Friday : laundry catch up
• Saturday : dust furniture, vacuum upholstery

This schedule is just a starting point. We all have a limited amount of time to dedicate to cleaning. You should determine what tasks are most important to you and develop your own cleaning checklist based on those priorities.

Even with the best schedule, it’s easy to fall behind on your cleaning. The easiest way to stay on top of it is with a professional cleaning service. At Service Plus of AZ, we specialize in keeping homes and businesses spotless. We offer complete house cleaning services that will ensure your space stays spotless, no matter how busy you are. Serve Scottsdale and all of the Phoenix Valley. Call Service Plus of AZ today to learn more about how our services can help you. (480) 736-3958.

Most business owners realize how important it is to keep their business clean. Whether you’re running a business that customers come to or not, cleanliness is essential to success in any industry. So how can you keep your business clean without spending valuable manpower to do it? The best answer is hiring a commercial cleaning service.

Outsourcing your cleaning services is a great way to save money and to keep the place looking better than if you were to do it yourself. After all, professional cleaners know the best way to get things done. They can save you time and money while also making your business look even better than if you were to do it yourself.

One issue that business owners who have their own employees handle the cleaning have to deal with is a lack of focus. You hired your employees because they are good at the specific business tasks you need them to do. Those business tasks likely do not include cleaning, and while some people do an excellent job at certain things, those strengths don’t always come with cleaning ability.

You should hire the people who are able to run your business in the best way possible without having to worry about whether they know how to clean efficiently. And when you have employees who not only have to take care of their regular duties but also the cleaning duties, they will lose focus, and you will likely lose money. It’s better just to contract out with a commercial cleaning service provider instead.

Also keep in mind that many commercial cleaning service providers are licensed to provide environmentally friendly service. It can be very tempting to buy the most powerful cleaning chemicals you can find, especially if you don’t know how to go about cleaning efficiently. However, professional cleaners know how to do the job well without the use of harsh chemicals. Many of them offer environmentally friendly services that are much safer for your employees than the harsh chemicals you might buy otherwise.

Often cleaning falls at the bottom of an employee’s to-do list, so having a commercial cleaning service come in regularly ensures that the cleaning gets done regularly. If you have to rely on your employees to do it, then it might never get done, especially because you probably want them to take care of their regular business activities first. And would you really want to pay them overtime to clean? Probably not because it is less expensive to pay a cleaning service to come in and take care of it.

Having your own cleaning staff is less cost effective than hiring a commercial cleaning service as well. You don’t have to pay them benefits or pay someone to do it full time. Instead you just pay for the services you need, when you need them. It just doesn’t make sense to have your own cleaning service, unless you’re running a hotel. So leave the cleaning to the professionals to save time and money.

We have more than four decades of experience in the cleaning industry, and we make a habit out of impressing our clients. We work on homes and businesses of all sizes, from one-bedroom apartments to multi-million dollar homes and businesses with more than a million square feet of space.

There are plenty of reasons to hire a janitorial service, although these reasons may not be obvious at first. After all, you could do the cleaning yourself, right? But the truth of the matter is that you probably can’t keep up with it by yourself. Plus few people are equipped to handle some of the most important jobs because they simply require the knowledge and expertise of a professional. Here are some other reasons you should hire a janitorial service to take over your cleaning duties.

1. You’re too busy to clean. Most people have looked around their place and noticed that it has simply gotten disgusting. This is something that sneaks up on all of us from time to time, but it doesn’t have to. The easiest way to stay on top of the cleaning is to have someone else do it—someone who puts their entire day into keeping the spaces of others clean.

2. If you’re running a business and planning on having your employees do all of the cleaning, then you are sadly mistaken. Most employees won’t have time to take care of your cleaning tasks. In fact, the cleaning is the one thing that will likely get swept under the rug, so to speak, every week. It just seems less important than the other tasks of running your business, even though it isn’t. So by having a dedicated janitorial service come in to take care of the cleaning, you don’t ever have to worry about it not getting done.

   

3. A clean space is a happy space, so you should make every effort to ensure that it stays clean. A janitorial service will work behind the scenes to keep your space in the best condition it can possibly be in. Your mood will improve, and the moods of those who come inside will improve because they will feel comfortable. Most of the time you won’t even know why you feel so much more relaxed and at ease, but you will be able to thank the janitorial service for those feelings.

4. A janitorial service is a great investment. Often they bring their own cleaning supplies, so you don’t even have to purchase any. And usually it is less expensive than having your own employees do it. Also the fact that your property is being kept up is a value in itself. The better your property looks, the more it’s worth. A janitorial service can help you maximize the value of your property.

5. Not everyone has all of the tools it takes to get a space really clean. Professional cleaners understand what they need to do in order to get any room sparkling clean, and they have all the tools to do it. They recognize the finer details of the job that you might not notice. The end result is a space that’s even cleaner than when you handle the job, although you might not know why it feels so much cleaner.

There are cleaning companies in virtually every community on the planet. It’s hard to go anywhere without hearing about at least one company, and it’s easy to see why. We all have less and less time to do the things we need to get done. The result is a lack of free time, which can be exhausting. Now you can enjoy more free time if you hire a cleaning company.

It just makes more sense to hire an outside company to do your cleaning. If you’re a business owner, you don’t want your employees to have to take time away from your business just to clean the place. If you’re a home owner, you don’t have time to keep up with the cleaning the way you should. In addition to saving time, you could also save money, especially if you’re a business owner. It’s probably less expensive to pay for a cleaning service than it is to pay your employees to clean. Also when special events are planned, it helps to have a professional’s touch on your property.

So how do you know a great cleaning company when you find one?

First, they should be able to handle all types of cleaning, whether it involves giving your home a freshening up or detailing your car. They should have the equipment that’s needed in order to clean high ceilings or get into tight spaces. They should also be thorough. You shouldn’t see marks on the wall that remain there week after week. Cleaning is a very detail-oriented task.

A great cleaning service should also be trustworthy. They should take steps to make sure that their employees are not thieves. After all, you’re inviting them into your personal space, so you must find someone you can trust to not go through your personal things or steal from you.

When you do have a cleaning service come in, there are several things you should expect. First of all, the bathroom should be completed cleaned and sanitized, including the toilets, the floors, and all surfaces in the room. Second, the company should take care of vacuuming and dusting everything throughout your home or business.

Third, the kitchen should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, including places you wouldn’t normally clean very often yourself because you don’t have time. Your cleaning company does have the time to do these tasks because you’ve hired them to make the time to do them. Jobs like cleaning inside the oven and the microwave should never be something you have to worry about.

Finally, a great cleaning company should also be able to handle specific tasks that you ask of them. Each homeowner and business owner likes things done in a certain way, and sometimes there’s an extra task you just want them to take care of. Quality cleaning companies will cater their service to your needs and take care of any cleaning task you ask them to do. Even the most germ-conscious person should be able to walk into a room that’s just been cleaned by the company and feel at home.

On the surface, it may seem easy to say that you’ll handle all of the cleaning yourself. But do you really have the time to do that? Isn’t it likely that there’s someone else who could do a better job than you? This is where professional cleaning companies come in. They’ll ensure that you always have a clean space to work or relax in, and they’ll do a better job than you ever could in the few spare moments you have each week!

So what does it take to be a great cleaning company? First, it requires the knowledge that one size does not fit all when it comes to cleaning services. When you’re looking for a cleaning company, you should find someone who will let you customize your services so that you get exactly what you need. Every home or business has different features, so you should be able to choose just the right amount of service for your needs.

You should be able to choose among weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly services, depending on how much traffic you have running through your home or business. Of course your budget also feeds into this decision. Perhaps you’re busy toward the beginning or end of the week but you have more time during the end of the week. Plan to have your cleaning company come in on your busy days so that you can still enjoy a clean space even though you don’t have time to give it a good, thorough cleaning.

In addition, quality cleaning companies should offer a variety of services, like sanitary disposal and other types of cleaning services. After all, cleaning isn’t just about making sure the kitchen is wiped down and the floors are mopped and vacuumed. Cleaning is so much more than that, and it takes up a lot of time you could better spend doing other things like spending time with your family, relaxing, or building your business.

So if you haven’t thought much about hiring a professional cleaning company, think about it now. If you hire a quality company, then you’re getting professionals who know what they’re doing and are dedicated to keeping you, your family, and your staff members safe from germs. No one can afford to live in or work in a dirty environment. It’s bad for morale, and it could make you very ill.

Professional cleaning services are an important part of running a tight ship these days. If you really want things done right, you need a professional to handle it. Just take your time when choosing a company and make sure that you choose a service provider who’s been in the business for many years. Avoid hiring an individual to do it or you’ll end up dealing with a lot of extra paperwork that’s required for tax purposes. A cleaning company will handle all the paperwork for you so that all you have to do is pay them. And you can rest assured that your home or business will be cleaned even when your regular cleaner is taking the week off.

No one likes to come home to a dirty house, but often it seems nearly impossible to keep it clean. It’s always a wise idea to have a cleaning company come in regularly, but who’s going to keep your home in order between their visits? Here are six quick tips for keeping your home clean:

1. Schedule certain jobs as needed. Of course the weekly jobs will be completed by your cleaning crew, but other jobs should be scheduled. For example, you might schedule the dishes right after dinner. You also might schedule your dish washing for right before dinner (the next night) while you are cooking. Designate one or two days each week as laundry days, depending on how much laundry you typically have.

2. Keep all of the necessary cleaning products within easy reach. It’s only natural to have the occasional spill that must be cleaned, so keep those cleaning products where you can get to them easily. This will keep you from putting off that cleanup until the spill is sticky or has started to sink into the rug. Locate a handy place to keep your supplies and make sure that you can get to them quickly without traipsing all over the house. Keep them in a place that’s close to where you have the most spills.

3. Do small basic cleaning tasks whenever you can. For example, wipe the dining room table off immediately after you clear the dishes from it. Clean toothpaste from the sink right after you brush your teeth. Small tasks like these can make a huge difference in the general cleanliness of your house.

4. Do small tasks immediately. For example, make your bed as soon as you get up. Clear off the table right after you eat. Scrape leftover food right into the trash, even if you’ll be washing those dishes the next night while you cook dinner. If you don’t wash them immediately, stack them in one place neatly so that they’re ready to be washed. Fill pots and pans with soapy water and let them soak. This will make for easy cleaning.

5. De-clutter your space. Keep as few things in any room as you can. Put items away as soon as you are done using them so that they do not clutter up your home. A home that isn’t filled with clutter is much easier to keep clean on a regular basis.

6. Make a list of weekly tasks your cleaning company will handle. One of the first things you should do when engaging the help of a cleaning company is making a list of the items they are supposed to do every time they come over. If they’re only going to come in every other week, make sure that you plan sufficient time during their off-weeks so that you can fill in the gaps left by their absence.

Anyone can have a clean home by following these simple tips. Cleaning doesn’t have to take a long time, and the more you keep up with the chores, the better you’ll feel.

Hiring a maid service is an important decision, because it means opening your home to a stranger. There are plenty of cleaning services and independent contractors who are willing to care for your home, so use these five tips to choose the best match for you and your home.

1. Do you want to use a cleaning service company or would you prefer an independent contractor? Each option has its pros and cons. You may feel like you get more personal service from a one-person operation. However, a larger company often has perks that one person can’t offer, like having a business manager in place who handles any problems or complaints. In the event that something goes wrong with your housekeeper, you might prefer to have an intermediary to handle the issue rather than having to approach the housekeeper directly.

2. Does the housekeeper or service carry insurance?
   It’s always a wise choice to pick a housekeeper who is bonded and carries worker’s compensation insurance. Also look for a maid service who guarantees their work. The house should be cleaned to your satisfaction; if not, the service should remedy the situation or refund your payment. A guarantee for the safety of your belongings is important, too. A good housekeeper or maid service will pledge to reimburse you in the event that anything is damaged while your home is being cleaned.

3. Do you want a housekeeper who has gone through a rigorous background check? Most people feel much more secure opening their home to a housekeeper if that person has passed a background check. After all, you may be giving the key to your home to this person. Look for a service that does criminal background checks, drug screenings, and reference checks. Then you can rest easy knowing that the cleaner you’ve brought into your home is trustworthy.

4. Think about what type of service you want. Do you want a certain list of tasks to be completed on a regular basis? Or do you want to pay for a set number of hours of cleaning each week? The downfall of choosing an hourly payment system is that your house may not end up as clean as you want it to be. An hourly system only guarantees that a certain number of hours will be spent at your house; if you want your home to be thoroughly clean, the best choice is to specify the tasks you want to be completed and pay based on those tasks.

5. Consider the benefits of an agency. You can save money by hiring an independent housekeeper, but sometimes you get what you pay for. If you go with an agency, you have more options. If an agency sends a housekeeper that you aren’t happy with, you just call the agency and request a different cleaner. If you hire an independent cleaner, you have to do the hiring and firing. That can end up being more work than just cleaning the house yourself.

Trying to find the best maid service in Scottsdale can seem like a real challenge. How are you supposed to navigate among all of the different companies offering service in the area? Thankfully it becomes quite simple when you know the questions to ask up front. Here are six tips to help you choose wisely:

1. Find a company that will give you the same team of cleaning people every time.
   This is important for consistency purposes. Typically you can provide feedback on the things you would like to be done differently, but the only way these things are going to be done precisely the way you want them to be done is if you have the same team. They will learn what you like and what you don’t like so that you don’t have to ask for things to be done a certain way. They will just automatically do them the way you like it.

2. Make sure the company is insured and bonded.
   Hopefully nothing bad happens while they are working in your home, but the only way you can be protected is if the company is both insured and bonded. Bonded companies keep you protected in the event that one of their employees steals from you, while insurance covers any accidents that may occur while their employees are on the job in your home.

3. Ask what their screening practices are for their employees.
   This will help you avoid companies that do not do much screening. It’s important because you certainly do not want someone who has a history of stealing or doing things that are even worse than that. Protect your family and your home by making sure that the employees who will be cleaning your home are properly screened.

4. Learn about the cleaning products they use and ask if you must supply them.
   Don’t just assume that the maid service you hire will supply all of the cleaning products. While it is certainly the norm to do so, not every company does. And if you have preferences for certain products, be sure to let them know. Don’t forget to tell them why you like those products as well in case they need to find a substitute for what you want.

5. Don’t pay anyone in cash.
   A professional cleaner who wants to be paid in cash could be trying to avoid paying taxes on their earnings. You certainly do not want any part of that, so do what you can to follow the law in this respect. Hiring a company instead of an individual is much better because you don’t have to worry as much about it. The company will take care of filing all of the necessary tax documents for their employees so that you have one less headache to deal with.

6. Find out how they handle holidays.
   Will your home be skipped entirely or will your service simply be shifted to a different day? It can be tempting not to worry about this until the holidays roll around, but there are few things worse than counting on your maid service to clean before company comes over and then discovering too late that you were on your own.
