Businesses across the greater Boston area have cleaning needs. Some rely exclusively on in-house janitorial while others pay for commercial cleaning services. Still others combine the two. The beauty of it all is that each business owner or manager gets to make that choice.
Do you run a Boston area business? Whether you are a business owner or manager, how do you handle janitorial and cleaning? Keeping things in-house is a legitimate option. But if you’re looking for something different, and perhaps something even better, consider commercial cleaning services from All Pro Cleaning Systems.
The Basics of In-House Janitorial
When we discuss the idea of in-house janitorial, we are referring to company employees handling daily cleaning tasks. A business might employ its own janitorial staff or assign different tasks to the most appropriate employees. Typical janitorial tasks include:
- Cleaning the restrooms
- Vacuuming carpets and sweeping floors
- Emptying trash cans
- Tidying the break room
- Maintaining common areas
The most intense task in the janitorial realm is cleaning restrooms. If you’re looking at just a couple of restrooms in a shared office space, it’s no big deal. But anything beyond that could represent more than what your in-house team can reasonably handle.
Benefits of Keeping Things In-House
No doubt there are benefits to keeping janitorial tasks in-house. At the top of the list is complete control over quality. Because you’re not trusting third parties to take care of your space, you can directly oversee every aspect of janitorial yourself.
Another benefit is familiarity with both the space and the company routine. There is no learning curve because employees already know what’s going on. This might suggest greater efficiency in a highly complex environment that outside cleaners might not be familiar with.
The Basics of Commercial Cleaning Services
Commercial cleaning services in Boston are similar to those in other parts of the country. Services typically begin with daily janitorial and go from there. Third-party contractors, like All Pro Cleaning Systems, go above and beyond daily janitorial to address more complex tasks like:
- Deep carpet cleaning
- Floor stripping and refinishing
- Window washing
- Pressure washing
- Clean room sanitizing
- Biohazard cleanup
Bringing in a commercial cleaning company does it mean giving up in-house janitorial. Plenty of businesses continue handling janitorial tasks themselves while leaving the bigger stuff to commercial cleaners.
The Benefits of Going Commercial
Just as there are benefits to in-house janitorial, there are also benefits to hiring a commercial cleaning company. The most important thing is training. Professional cleaners are trained in the best practices that define our industry. Fully trained technicians know how to do even the most difficult jobs right.
Access to specialized equipment and cleaning chemicals is another advantage. Some businesses, especially smaller ones, might not have the financial resources to invest in specialized cleaning equipment. So keeping everything in-house means cleaning quality ultimately suffers.
One last benefit to think about is scalability. Because cleaning is the only thing companies like ours do, we have the ability to quickly scale up or down as needed. That’s good for clients because it gives them continuous access to quality cleaning services based on individual need.
