Scanning the web we found this article, written by an Australian cleaning company, explaining the reason for hiring a large, experienced cleaning company.  We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Are you in a position where you need to think about hiring some cleaners to make sure all your needs are taken care of? If you are then it pays not to think too small.

Most people tend to think about cleaning in terms of the minimum that needs doing on a daily basis. For example, washrooms might need a quick clean; offices may need a quick once over to keep them tidy; and depending on where you work you may have other regular tasks that need doing as well.

Notice the word ‘regular’ in that last sentence. Office cleaning may be a regular job, but what about all the things that need doing only every now and then? These are quite often the things that get forgotten, and there is no guarantee that a small cleaning company will be able to meet all your needs in this respect.

When it comes to larger commercial cleaning contractors they will have more experience with a wider range of tasks and requirements. They will have dealt with many more businesses and outfits than smaller companies, and will be more prepared to take on whatever tasks you need to have done.

As such you will find it much more versatile to have a company like this taking care of all your cleaning needs. Every company and business grows and changes over time, and there is no guarantee that what you require now in the way of a cleaning service will still be adequate at some point in the future.

You can probably see where this will lead. Just imagine that you choose a small company to get started with. You don’t see the need for using anyone bigger simply because a small company can do everything you ask of them.

But over time your business grows and you find that you now have more jobs that need doing. You may even expand into new premises, or simply extend the existing building or premises you are using. So you ask your cleaning company to add these extra duties onto your current requirements, so that the standards are kept high and everything is kept clean and tidy.

But they cannot do so.

Their company is too small a concern to make this happen, and so you are left with the job of finding someone new to take on your cleaning tasks.

Can you see how inconvenient this would be? The truth is that such a process can take valuable time, and all the while you are trying to find someone, those jobs aren’t getting done.

But if you go for a larger company to start with, you can grow with them. You know they will always be able to accommodate any changes in what has to be done. That can really take the pressure off as the company you choose can be relied upon, both in the short and the long term.

So think about it now – could your existing company do this for you?

Lincolnwood, IL, USA, August 6, 2009—The proposed criteria for CIMS-GB, the green-building dimension of ISSA’s popular Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and certification program, is now available for public review and comment. The review period commences today and continues through September 4, 2009. Individuals interested in reviewing the draft criteria are encouraged to visit www.issa.com/cims-gb and may submit applicable feedback to cimsgb@issa.com.

“The ultimate goal of the CIMS Green Building criteria and designation will be to allow organizations to verify their ability to assist customers in meeting the LEED-EB: O&M green cleaning requirements, but we also have a unique opportunity to raise the bar beyond LEED as far as environmental preferability and cleaning is concerned,” said ISSA Director of Facility Service Programs Dan Wagner. “The committee has started the work of doing so, and we are eager to receive feedback from the industry at large as to how we can develop a practical industry standard that takes green cleaning to the next level while answering the specific market demand created by LEED.”
