6 Ways To Lower Your Cleaning Budget Today

Listen to “6 Ways To Lower Your Cleaning $$ Budget Today $$” on Spreaker. Today, we’re going to discuss a topic that can potentially save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per month. We’re going to explore six practical ways to lower your cleaning budget today, with a bonus tip at the end! Consolidate Services: Instead of hiring multiple cleaning companies for different tasks, consider hiring one. This can lead to better pricing, simplified communication, and streamlined billing. For example, we provide nightly janitorial services during the school year and deep cleaning services during the summer for several sorority houses, consolidating all their cleaning needs under one roof. Adjust the Cleaning Frequency: Evaluate your cleaning needs and adjust the frequency of cleaning services accordingly. For instance, reducing cleaning from five days per week to four can result in significant monthly savings. You can even experiment with changing the frequency from five days to three days if it suits your building’s needs. Update Your Scope of Work: Regularly inspect your facility to identify areas that require less frequent cleaning or where you can reduce the scope of services. Communicate with your cleaning company about unused areas or lower foot traffic zones to potentially negotiate a cost reduction. Negotiate a Better Price: Don’t hesitate to negotiate with your cleaning company for better pricing or terms, especially if you’ve been a loyal customer. Consider shopping around and comparing prices from different cleaning contractors to find a more cost-effective provider. Use Technology: Optimize your cleaning operations with technology. Utilize occupancy sensors to adjust cleaning schedules based on building traffic and employ supply monitoring systems to reduce costs. For instance, a company called Mero provides sensors that can help you analyze your needs in a particular area and allocate labor based on building traffic. Use Battery Operated Cleaning Equipment: Request your cleaning contractor to use efficient cleaning equipment and methods that require less time and labor. Battery backpack vacuums, for instance, can significantly reduce labor costs compared to corded alternatives. As a bonus tip, we recommend communicating your cleaning budget to your service provider. By letting them know your budget constraints, you may open up discussions that could lead to cost-saving solutions. In conclusion, by implementing these strategies, you can effectively lower your cleaning budget while maintaining cleanliness and quality standards in your facilities. Remember to set clear expectations with your cleaning contractor and provide regular feedback to help them improve their service quality and potentially reduce costs.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Cleaning Service

Commercial Cleaning / Tom Moore

Why Hire a Professional Cleaning Service? Many people spend the majority of their waking hours at work. Whether in a commercial office or another building, ensuring that these spaces are not visually or physically taxing is critical. Put simply, unsanitary or unclean workspaces can lead to negative health impacts and lowered productivity in your employees. But you can easily remedy this issue by hiring a trusted and experienced commercial cleaner. Most cleaning companies offer various professional cleaning services — from daily cleaning to deep cleaning — that can provide tremendous benefits to your building and company culture. Still, maybe you aren’t sure what makes professional cleaning services better than handling the cleaning on your own. Read on to understand why you should leave the cleaning to the professionals. Benefits of Professional Cleaning Services A professional cleaning service is the way to go if you want your building to be thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. These services have the best equipment to clean floors, surfaces, windows, doorways, and more, and they also have the expertise required to do so efficiently and effectively. So, without further ado, here are eight top benefits of hiring a professional commercial cleaning service for your business. Safer Surroundings While many people may not consider an office building or other workplace particularly dangerous, it has risks and safety concerns — especially when not properly maintained or cleaned. When buildings that house many employees are not regularly and thoroughly cleaned, they can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and germs. These can cause illnesses in your staff, resulting in a generally unhealthy environment for your employees and many sick days. Keeping your workplace clean, on the other hand, can dramatically reduce the number of sick days and keep your valuable employees healthy and happy to come to work each morning. Similarly, if floors are not cleaned, and obstacles or clutter are constantly blocking high-traffic areas, you may risk the physical safety of your employees. A cleaning service can mitigate these risks by helping to keep your surfaces and floors clean and tidy. Save Time with Cleaning Professional cleaning services complete their jobs quickly and efficiently. Commercial cleaners have experience cleaning many different types of spaces, equipment, and furniture. This allows them to easily clean all areas in your building without having to experiment and spend time learning how to do so. Hiring professional cleaners also allows your employees to spend more time on their work than cleaning up the building. Higher Quality Cleaning As professional cleaners, commercial cleaning companies will ensure that your building is thoroughly cleaned each and every time you request their services. If you rely on your employees to do the cleaning, you will likely get a low-effort attempt to clean or organize a space, as the last thing your employees will want after a workday is to clean up. This can result in only partially cleaning or completely ignoring certain cleaning tasks. On the other hand, a professional cleaning service can offer various cleaning services — from basic nightly janitorial services to keep your building hygienic daily to more in-depth and less frequent cleaning services like commercial carpet cleaning. This allows you to ensure that your space not only looks but truly is clean and tidy. Increased Productivity The spaces around us affect us in more ways than people tend to think. Not only can a cluttered or dirty space feel stifling, but it can also actually lower the productivity of anyone in it. This is because dirty workspaces don’t make people happy, excited, or motivated to do work. Clean spaces, on the other hand, make people feel welcome and create a more comfortable environment where they can concentrate on their tasks and get work done. This simple change in enthusiasm and motivation can dramatically improve your overall employee productivity. Improved First Impressions Whether you’re looking for new employees or giving a potential stakeholder a tour of your space, first impressions are critical. The first impression is your one shot to set the tone for your business and show whoever you are talking to that you are serious, professional, and worth their time. Now, imagine if the first thing you see when you walk into a building is a broken coffee machine, sticky counters, and unorganized supplies and paperwork. Would you really want to invest your time or money into that business? Conversely, if you walk into a well-kept, clean, and fresh space, you’d likely be much more inclined to actually pay attention to your guide. Cost Savings While professional cleaning services may seem more costly in the short term, it is worth the cost when you factor in the dramatic reduction in employee sick days or injury leaves due to an unclean or unsafe workspace. When employees take leave due to illness or injury, you not only have to compensate them but also lose out on productivity and team morale. Still, not only do professional cleaning services reduce these long-term losses, but many also offer competitive pricing for their services, which means that they may not even be all that expensive in the short term. Free Up Extra Storage Space If you let a professional cleaning company handle your cleaning needs, you don’t have to worry about storing all the supplies you need to clean it yourself. Most professional cleaners bring their own equipment with them, which means that the space you would have devoted to cleaning supplies and equipment can be freed up for other, more business-relevant items. Lengthen Equipment Lifetime Another benefit of regular in-depth cleaning from a professional cleaning service company is less wear-and-tear on your equipment. Whether you have electronics, tools, or any other type of machine in your building, leaving them covered in dust, clutter, or dirt can dramatically reduce their lifespan and cause you to purchase replacements prematurely. Regularly cleaning, organizing, and maintaining this equipment, however, can elongate this lifespan and allow you to save money in the long run as you will not

Office Cleaning / Tom Moore

Listen to “We Polled 700+ Facility Managers on Top Pain Points – Here are the results…” on Spreaker. In our latest podcast episode, we delve into a topic that’s crucial for facility directors, property managers, and anyone responsible for maintaining a building: transitioning to a new cleaning company. The Challenges of Changing Cleaning Companies Our host, Tom Moore, kicked off the episode by sharing the results of a LinkedIn poll involving 738 facility managers. The poll revealed the top reasons for changing cleaning companies: poorly trained staff, inconsistent attendance, missing items, and lack of communication. The Importance of Specialization and Communication The episode also highlighted the importance of cleaning companies focusing on their core services rather than trying to do everything. Our guests suggested that communication, staff empowerment, and showing appreciation were key to maintaining a good relationship with cleaning companies. The Transitioning Process Transitioning to a new cleaning company can be a daunting task. However, the podcast breaks down the process into manageable steps. It starts with identifying your needs and pain points, then reaching out to potential cleaning companies. When the cleaning company representatives arrive, they should listen carefully to your specific needs and pain points. The company should provide a detailed scope of work, basic company information, a price that works with your budget, business references, and information about their cleaning app. Insider Tips for Facility Managers The podcast episode also shared some insider tips for facility managers. One of these tips was to have a candid conversation with your cleaning company and ask them what percentage of their business is from janitorial versus construction cleaning or other types of services. This will give you a good insight into how well they can focus on your building. Another tip was to make sure that your cleaning team feels valued and a part of the team, regardless if they are in-house or contract cleaners. Conclusion Transitioning to a new cleaning company can be a challenging process, but with the right approach and understanding, it can lead to improved cleaning services and a better working relationship with your cleaning company.

How Often Should You Schedule Professional Commercial Carpet Cleaning?

Commercial Carpet Cleaning / Tom Moore

Is it Time to Schedule Commercial Carpet Cleaning? Maybe you have twenty employees, or perhaps you have two hundred employees working in your building. Either way, you will, at some point, need to schedule professional carpet cleanings to ensure that your carpets are not hurting your business or your employees. Employees and customers alike will notice if your carpets are dirty. This can not only harm your reputation with customers and employee morale but also lead to the assumption that your business is incompetent. After all, if you can’t even clean your own carpets, how can a customer expect you to provide a reliable service or product? This is why regular professional commercial carpet cleanings are so critical for businesses of all kinds. But how do you know how often to schedule these carpet cleanings? You do not want to wait until your carpet needs to be cleaned, but you don’t want to waste money scheduling cleanings when you don’t need them. Here, we’ll explore exactly how you can determine the right carpet cleaning schedule for your facility. How to Create the Right Professional Commercial Carpet Cleaning Schedule Unfortunately, while commercial carpet cleaning is a critical aspect of basic commercial cleaning services that all businesses need, there is no simple one-size-fits-all answer to how often your business needs carpet cleaning. There is, of course, some essential maintenance — such as vacuuming and picking up spills before they set into deep stains — which should be performed regularly (ideally every day, but this is not always necessary for some businesses). But, commercial carpet cleanings are typically done less frequently. This is often on a schedule of two to six months between cleanings, though low-traffic areas may only need commercial cleaning once a year. So, how often should you schedule commercial carpet deep cleaning? Simple. Understand your carpets’ needs by considering the following factors. Carpet Cleaning Frequency Factors To determine how often you should get your carpets professionally deep cleaned, you need to understand what type of wear your carpet is getting. There are four primary factors that affect the overall wear and tear on a carpet, and they are as follows. Recognizing these factors will help you successfully determine how regularly you should schedule professional carpet cleaning services for your building — without risking the integrity of your carpet or wasting resources by scheduling cleanings too frequently. 1. Foot Traffic The first factor you need to consider is how busy the area is. Areas with high levels of foot traffic will naturally require more maintenance, whereas areas with low levels of foot traffic can survive with less frequent care. This is largely considered the most crucial factor, as it causes the most impact on the overall lifespan of your carpets. Areas with high foot traffic should be professionally cleaned at least once every three months. Conversely, areas with low foot traffic may be commercially cleaned only once or twice a year. 2. Type of Commercial Space The second factor that determines how often you should schedule your commercial carpet cleanings is what type of commercial space your carpet is in. Some types of commercial spaces require more frequent carpet cleaning simply because of the nature of the business. For example, restaurants or bars typically require at least quarterly cleaning sessions (once every three months) and may even need more frequent cleanings if they are especially popular. On the other hand, a typical commercial office building may need carpet cleanings every six months to a year — depending on the number of employees and the weather conditions of the area. 3. Regular Upkeep Another factor influencing how often you must schedule carpet cleaning is the amount of regular maintenance or “upkeep” they receive between cleanings. Regular upkeep consists of vacuuming, addressing spills, and picking loose items up off the carpet. These practices help keep your carpets tidy and lessen the dirt, dust, and bacteria build-up of daily use. Carpets that receive regular upkeep can go longer in between professional cleanings than those that do not receive this type of upkeep. 4. Climate The final factor you must consider regarding the frequency of your commercial carpet cleaning appointments is the climate. Areas that are prone to heavy precipitation and harsh winter weather will require more frequent carpet cleaning than those that are sunny or warm. Creating Your Schedule Once you have assessed the previously mentioned factors, you can create the right carpet cleaning schedule for your building. However, not all the previously mentioned factors clearly indicate how often to get your carpet cleaned — for example, climate. This is because they impact the overall wear on your carpet but can be hard to quantify simply because they are so variable. More often than not, buildings will have mixed cleaning requirements — meaning there will be carpet areas that require more attention than others. In these cases, it is critical that you schedule your cleanings for when the higher-attention regions need to be serviced. If you do not do this, you risk the integrity of these typically higher-traffic areas of your business, which can be more costly in the long run if you have to replace them more frequently. You may also be able to schedule more frequent carpet cleanings for specific areas if you have some areas with very high traffic and others with very low traffic. You may also want to consult with the professional carpet cleaners you hire to get an expert opinion on when you should schedule your next cleaning based on your building’s specific needs. Maintaining Your Carpet Between Commercial Carpet Cleaning Sessions All maintenance really boils down to is performing regular upkeep practices. Generally, areas with higher foot traffic require more frequent upkeep than those with low traffic levels. This basic guide is a good reference point if you need help determining how frequently to vacuum your carpeted areas. High-traffic areas should be vacuumed daily. Moderate-traffic areas should be vacuumed every three to four days, though daily

How Nightly Janitorial Services can Boost Office Productivity

Nightly Janitorial Services / Tom Moore

Business owners have many responsibilities, including the maintenance and cleanliness of the buildings where their companies operate. Pushing these important tasks to the bottom of the priority list is tempting because it may seem like they won’t make a big difference in day-to-day operations. However, taking care of the dirty work involved in proper cleaning and care of a building offers many benefits, from increased productivity to improved health and safety for employees. This post explores the advantages of hiring a professional team for nightly janitorial services. What are nightly janitorial services? Nightly janitorial services are specialized cleaning and maintenance services typically performed after business hours and often at night. Services can include a variety of tasks such as sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning restrooms and breakrooms, emptying trash and recycling, dusting surfaces and equipment, and disinfecting high-touch areas. Cleaning services often include restocking supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, and soap. Increased Productivity Clean, organized workspaces and common areas are visually appealing and can positively impact productivity. While it can be challenging to maintain a clean, organized workspace, hiring a team of professionals can help you handle the cleaning of your office in an efficient, consistent manner. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, tidy spaces free of trash and clutter boost productivity and employee morale in the following ways: Fewer Distractions Cluttered workspaces can be distracting for employees. Distractions lead to lower levels of concentration and decreased productivity. A clean, organized workspace allows employees to focus on business tasks, increasing productivity. Improved Air Quality Dirt and dust lead to poor air quality, which can then cause respiratory problems, aggravating allergies and ultimately decreasing productivity. Regular cleaning of surfaces and equipment can reduce the amount of dust and dirt in an office building, improving air quality and decreasing the risk of illness. Reduced Sick Days Dirty workspaces may lead to increased use of sick days for employees due to germs and bacteria quickly spreading from dirty surfaces to hands and being carried around the office in an unending cycle. Professional janitorial services help reduce the risk of illness by regularly disinfecting surfaces, equipment, and high-touch areas. Studies show that employees working in a clean workspace used 24% fewer sick days than those who work in an unclean environment. Time Management Instead of janitorial services, some business owners rely on their staff to keep their workspaces and common areas clean. When staff members are required to complete these cleaning tasks, it takes away valuable time from their job duties. Nightly janitorial services will clean and maintain workspaces, allowing employees to focus on core business objectives and maximize time spent doing their jobs. Increased Morale Clean, organized workspaces can boost employee morale leading to a boost in productivity. Professional janitorial services help create a consistent, pleasant environment that is inviting and healthy for employees. Saving Money for Business Owners Due to lower productivity, untidy workspaces can cost a company millions of dollars annually. Although janitorial services do not typically include filing or putting away piles of work-related items, janitorial professionals do tidy up as they dust and disinfect surfaces in the office. Also, people usually “clean for the cleaners,” so if your staff knows you have a professional cleaning team coming, they are more likely to clear off surfaces to allow the janitorial team to do their jobs. Productivity decreases when staff members have to spend time searching for documents. When employees are motivated to keep surfaces clear of clutter, it helps them increase productivity. In addition, employees today prefer clean, disinfected spaces. When business owners prioritize cleaning and disinfecting with professional cleaning services, employees are happier and may improve their productivity. Benefits of Hiring Professional Janitorial Services Businesses of all sizes can benefit from hiring nightly janitorial services. Some of the most significant benefits include: Training: professional cleaning services train their employees in specialized cleaning techniques. A professional janitorial staff has the knowledge and experience to follow proper cleaning protocols. Additionally, a professional janitorial service has the right equipment to clean a workspace thoroughly and efficiently. Customizable Services: Nightly janitorial service providers will work with you creating a customized cleaning plan that meets your needs. Customizable options may include frequency of cleaning services, which areas to clean, and types of cleaning products and equipment used to clean specific areas. Saving Time and Money: Outsourcing cleaning to a nightly janitorial service can save time and money in the long run. A professional cleaning team will complete cleaning tasks faster than an untrained employee. Also, most cleaning companies bring their own cleaning supplies, so you will not have to buy and store supplies you don’t need to deep clean your building. Improved Health and Safety: a professionally cleaned workspace produces a healthier, safer environment for employees and visitors. Professional janitorial staff are experts in disinfection and trained to identify and clean high-touch areas, an essential step in decreasing the spread of germs in the workplace. Proper waste disposal by a trained janitorial team is critical to building cleaning and maintenance, reducing the risk of exposure to harmful substances. Cleaning Consistency: A consistent level of cleaning gives you confidence that your building is welcoming and presentable, and disinfected for health and safety. Eco-Friendly Cleaning: Commercial janitorial services often offer eco-friendly cleaning options that are safe for humans and the environment. American Facility Care We proudly serve Central Indiana as a leading commercial janitorial and maintenance service provider.

The Pros and Cons of In-House Cleaners vs Professional Services

Office Cleaning / Tom Moore

Listen to “The Pros and Cons of In-House Cleaners vs Professional Services” on Spreaker. Are you a facility director, property manager, or point person in charge of your building? If so, tune into this episode of the Cleaning Indy Podcast brought to you by American Facility Care to learn all about the pros and cons of in-house cleaners versus outsourcing to a professional cleaning company. Put your building in the best hands possible – read on! In this episode, we delve into the advantages and disadvantages of both in-house cleaners and outsourcing to a professional cleaning company. Pros of In-House Cleaners In-house cleaners are often trusted and well-known members of your team. They’re familiar with your building, integrated into your company culture, and their attendance habits are known. If they’re great cleaners, they can bring a lot of value to your company. Cons of In-House Cleaners However, there are challenges to consider. The labor market, especially for cleaning positions, can be unpredictable. Scheduling around personal days, sick days, or vacation days can be difficult. When your cleaner is absent, their responsibilities often fall onto the facility manager or other staff members, which can disrupt regular operations. Pros of Outsourcing to a Professional Cleaning Company Outsourcing to a professional cleaning company can alleviate many of these challenges. You don’t have to worry about hiring or training, and your coworkers won’t have to chip in when the cleaner is absent. The cleaning company will have protocols and standardizations for cleaning, ensuring a high level of cleanliness and hygiene. Cons of Outsourcing to a Professional Cleaning Company While outsourcing can offer many benefits, it’s important to ensure that the cleaning company you choose is reliable, trustworthy, and able to meet your specific needs. In conclusion, the decision between in-house cleaners and outsourcing depends on your specific situation and needs. If you have a reliable, efficient in-house cleaner, that may be the best option for you. However, if you’re struggling with hiring, training, or covering absences, outsourcing to a professional cleaning company could be a beneficial solution.

The Impact of Office Cleaning on Employee Productivity and Morale

Office Cleaning / Tom Moore

Maintaining a clean and organized office environment is crucial to the success of any business. It not only enhances the appearance of the workplace but also significantly impacts the productivity and morale of employees. In today’s fast-paced and competitive business world, professional office cleaning services have become a necessity rather than a luxury. American Facility Care is a professional office cleaning company that offers exceptional office cleaning services around central Indiana. In this article, we will explore the benefits of professional office cleaning and how it can positively impact your business. Better Health and Hygiene A clean office environment promotes better health and hygiene. Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene has become more critical than ever before. Professional office cleaning services can help keep your workplace free of germs and viruses that can cause illnesses like colds, flu, and other respiratory infections. By regularly disinfecting high-touch areas such as doorknobs, light switches, keyboards, and phones, professional cleaners can help reduce the spread of germs and keep your employees healthy and safe. This can lessen the number of sick days employees have to take. Boost Employee Productivity In addition to promoting better health, professional office cleaning can boost employee productivity. Studies have shown that a clean and organized workplace can positively impact employee morale and motivation. Employees who work in a clean and well-maintained environment are more likely to feel valued and appreciated, increasing job satisfaction and productivity. A cluttered and dirty workplace, on the other hand, can have the opposite effect, leading to decreased motivation, lower job satisfaction, and increased absenteeism. Improved Air Quality Professional office cleaning is that it can help improve indoor air quality. Dust, dirt, and other pollutants can accumulate in carpets, upholstery, and air ducts, leading to poor indoor air quality. Professional cleaners use specialized equipment and cleaning techniques to remove these pollutants and improve the air quality in your office. This can positively impact the health and well-being of your employees, reducing the risk of respiratory problems and allergies. Improved indoor air quality can also create a more comfortable and pleasant working environment, increasing productivity and job satisfaction. Guest’s First Impression Guests and potential customers will be more likely to form a good impression of your business if they enter a well-kept and well-organized space. Your company sends a statement that it is professional and takes pleasure in its look when the workplace is well-maintained and in good shape. A dirty and disorganized place of business gives off the wrong impression, which may result in the loss of current or prospective clients or consumers. Extend the Lifespan of Furniture and Equipment With the help of professional cleaning services, you can lengthen the lifespan of the furniture and equipment at your place of business. Dirt, dust, and other particles can accumulate on a surface over time, eventually leading to cover wear and tear. By regularly cleaning and maintaining your office furniture and equipment, professional cleaners can help protect it from damage and extend its lifespan, saving you money in the long run. Save Time and Money Another benefit of professional office cleaning services is that they can help save time and money. Instead of having your employees spend valuable time cleaning and maintaining the office, you can outsource these tasks to a professional cleaning company. This allows your employees to focus on their core responsibilities and helps increase their productivity. Additionally, outsourcing your office cleaning needs can reduce purchasing equipment and supplies costs. Cost Effective Professional cleaning services are relatively affordable. Professional cleaners will arrive at your location fully equipped with the necessary tools and products, so you can completely forget about purchasing pricey cleaning supplies. There are a few variables that can impact the cost of professional cleaners, including: With the increased employee productivity, a decrease in employee sick days, and the affordability of professional cleaning, hiring a professional cleaning service can be a great investment. Frees Up Storage Space If you have a storage space where you keep your cleaning equipment and supplies, hiring a cleaning service can free up some space for other, more beneficial uses. Remember that cleaning businesses provide their personnel with all the necessary equipment, so you won’t have to offer them anything because they already have it. Our Services At American Facility Care, we offer a range of professional office cleaning services that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. Our services include general cleaning, carpet cleaning, floor maintenance, and window cleaning. Our team of trained and experienced cleaners uses only the highest quality cleaning products and equipment to ensure your office is clean, safe, and healthy. Every business has unique cleaning needs, so we work closely with our clients to develop a customized cleaning plan that meets their requirements. Whether you need daily, or weekly, cleaning services, we can create the best cleaning schedule for you. We aim to provide our clients with exceptional cleaning services that exceed their expectations.
