What is “Commercial Cleaning”?

Offices

Is there a difference between janitorial services and commercial cleaning?

Janitorial service refers to small, everyday cleaning tasks. Commercial cleaning is used for larger commercial or special facilities that require advanced knowledge, training, and technology to effectively deep clean and disinfect environments for the health and safety of staff and visitors.

For example, janitorial services may include vacuuming, sweeping floors, and dusting. Commercial cleaning services include deep carpet cleaning, all hard surface floor care (like tile, grout, marble, vinyl stripping), post-construction cleanup, window washing, and more.

What type of cleaning services do franchisees offer?

How often should your facility be cleaned?

Your facility should be cleaned anywhere from 1x/week to 7x/per week. It just depends on the amount of traffic coming in and out, the number of employees, and visitors, and the level of visual cleaning. A healthy workplace, however, requires a more frequent, deeper cleaning and disinfection.

Why is commercial cleaning important for your business?

It’s important to maintain a clean and disinfected environment at your place of business. Daily cleanings, usually done after business hours, not only show a clean appearance but also help eliminate bacteria and germs and help ward off the spread of viruses. Even dust buildup can lead to respiratory hazards. A clean and healthy office also helps reduce sick leave occurrences.

How often should restrooms be cleaned?

Commonly used office areas, like restrooms, tend to become dirty quicker. Did you know that 75% of bathroom sink fixtures containing germs or viruses can spread within seconds of contact? Faucet handles harbor tons of bacteria, including Staph and E.coli, and can spread from the pipes to the sink and your hands. Your office restroom sinks, counters, and toilets should be thoroughly cleaned every day. If your facility is large, like a shopping mall, venue, or car dealership with lots of traffic, you may require cleaning more often or even day porter services between cleanings.

Can a commercial cleaning company save me money?

Enlisting commercial cleaning professionals can actually save you money. They’re professionals with specific expertise in cleaning commercial properties, providing these returns:

– Prevent damage
– Protect furniture: more than floors and garbage, they can take care of furniture, spills on fabrics, overheated vents from dust buildup, etc.
– Improve customer satisfaction: customers expect a clean, comfortable experience when visiting your office
– Increase productivity: you pay your employees to perform the job they’re hired to do, not clean

Invest in your organization and protect your staff – hire a professional commercial cleaning company.

Are you flexible with my cleaning schedule?

Your cleaning services can be performed around your schedule. Most clients prefer their cleaning to be done during evening hours when the business is closed.

How does Anago ensure the cleaning technicians perform according to quality standards?

All franchisees are required to maintain a $2 Million General Liability, Bond, and Theft coverage, and Worker’s Compensation as required by each state’s regulations. Additional coverage is available upon request.
