Bringing on a Commercial Cleaning Service, or replacing an existing Commercial Cleaning Company to maintain the cleanliness of your business and work environment can be a big commitment. This article deals with the FREE Estimate approach to finding the ideal commercial cleaning company to fit your needs.

Most Commercial Cleaning services will offer a Free Estimate, but how do you know what makes up a good free estimate, from one that might be incomplete, and leave you with costly surprises down the line? This article will give you four easy to follow guidelines to look for with a free estimate.

As the Co-Owner of Master Care Janitorial Services in Salem Oregon, we have been providing Free Estimates and cleaning local businesses since 1992. Here is an effective four step process we have used for more than

18 years to provide accurate free estimates for our clients.

1. The On Site Walk Through: Meet with the client face to face to encourage and ask questions related to the building and the survey being conducted. This also allows the opportunity to discover any pet peeves that clients or employees may have. Maybe one of the employees do not want their personal effects touched or moved on their desk, so that is important to know. Also its good to uncover any problem areas with their present janitorial service or commercial cleaning company.

2. Determine the Condition of the Building and Type of Business: A medical facility or bank requires a different level of cleaning activity than a manufacturer or factory. Also surmise the cleaning needs and frequency of cleaning: elements like dusting, vacuuming, emptying of the trash, in addition to cleaning floors, carpets, windows and upholstery.

3. Evaluate Staffing Needs: How many employees will the Commercial Cleaning Service need and also the pattern and routes they will need to follow while they are performing their work.

4. Time Elements and Final Price: This calculation is important and is needed to then determine the final price to be quoted to the client.

Obtaining a free estimate for a Commercial Cleaning Service that includes the four main areas above increases the chance of getting a solid estimate to keep your business looking its best. Keep in mind, each business is different, and if the company that is bidding for your cleaning needs skips any of the steps above, find a janitorial service or commercial cleaning service that will be more complete with their free estimate to avoid any costly and unpleasant surprises with your future service.
