Floor Cleaning Business

Say "hi" to a floor cleaning business, so lackluster floors don't make customers say "bye-bye"
By Virginia Franco, Freelance Writer When your business gets so much foot traffic that your floor looks worn and dirty, it may be time to consider hiring a floor cleaning business to bring back the shine and have it looking like new. Making a good impression on prospective and current clients is critical to business success, and if your floor doesn't look up to par, then neither will you.
 

Finding the right person for the job is not as easy as searching through a floor cleaning business directory. This article will assist you in your search for a commercial floor cleaning business provider, and help you know what to look for when putting together a commercial floor cleaning business list. Consider the following when looking to find floor cleaning business names to interview:

1. Does the provider use quality floor cleaning products and equipment?

2. Does the provider have expertise in cleaning commercial areas with high-traffic floors?

3. Can the floor cleaning business provider also clean other areas of your business?

Become knowledgeable about the products and equipment the floor cleaning business you interview uses

When gathering floor cleaning business information, be sure to ask about the cleaning products and equipment used by different providers. The service provider you ultimately hire should be familiar with the impact of their products on health and allergies and take deliberate measures to eliminate bacteria and pollutants from your floors.
Try: Anago Cleaning Systems in Phoenix, AZ uses vacuums with HEPA filtration systems that they claim reduce the microscopic particles and improve air quality. PRO-TECH Cleaning Services in Portland, Ore. uses water-based Stonetech cleaning products specially formulated to clean tile and stone floors.

Verify that the floor cleaning business has experience with high traffic commercial areas

Whether your company's floors are covered with carpet, tile, cement, vinyl or wood, they all have one thing in common. They all see a lot of foot traffic, which exposes your floors to wear and tear and shortens their lifespan. The company you hire must have experience in dealing with these types of floor situations.
Try: If you live in the Seattle, WA metropolitan area, consider getting a quote from APO Janitorial Service, experts in commercial carpet and floor cleaning. Liquid Floor Systems specializes in polishing commercial and industrial concrete floors to make them look shiny and new.

Inquire if the floor cleaning business has expertise in other areas of cleaning

Be sure to ask the floor cleaning businesses you interview if it has expertise in whole building cleaning. Many companies offer full-service cleaning to include restrooms, trash collection and full area dusting.
Try: Jani-King International has cleaned commercial properties since 1968. In addition to floor cleaning they also provide a number of other cleaning services listed on their website. ServiceMaster has been in business for more than 60 years and, in addition to commercial cleaning services, they provide commercial disaster restoration cleaning.

• Reduce your company's carbon footprint and hire a floor cleaning business with a reputation for using eco-friendly methods for cleaning floors. This means they ensure the products they use don't contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment and the tools they use to clean are either biodegradable or reusable.
