Do All Melbourne Cleaning Services Clean Houses Only?
Many of the Melbourne cleaning services are strictly home cleaning Melbourne operations and they do not do business or commercial property cleaning. There are however a few Melbourne cleaning companies that will work in the commercial offices.
The Melbourne cleaning services that do not do commercial properties are strictly home cleaning Melbourne operations, and a lot of the time people assume that the company is strictly a home cleaning Melbourne operation because they do not see any advertisements from them that say they do commercial properties as well. You cannot assume these things, you have to call the company and ask.
A lot of the time the home cleaning Melbourne operations would also like to do offices and commercial properties. Once they receive an offer they often decide that cleaning these commercial properties is a lucrative addition to their home cleaning Melbourne operations.
In order to discover if a company will do commercial properties then you need to call and speak to the person in charge of scheduling the employees. You will need to explain to this person the type of business you have and the type of cleaning that will be necessary.
You can hire someone to come every day to clean the offices after the employees have left for the day, or you can hire a service to come once a week and even once every two weeks. It all depends on the type of cleaning that you need done in your offices.
Carpets can generally be vacuumed once a week but hard floors require sweeping more frequently. This is because the dirt on the carpeting is not as visible as the dirt on harder surfaces like tile, linoleum, and wood. The harder surfaces also require mopping. Mopping can generally be done in most businesses on a weekly basis, unless the floor sees a lot of traffic, or there are a large number of spills that happen.
Break rooms and lunch rooms require a daily straightening but they generally only need a hard core cleaning about once a week. This cleaning will include cleaning out the refrigerator, and wiping the interior and exterior of it, and cleaning the microwave. A large company may need a service to send someone daily so they can empty the trash and wipe this area down daily.
You will need to let the person in charge of scheduling know how big an office area you have and how many employees work in that area. They need to know the number of bathrooms they will be responsible for. They will need to know if they are responsible for the windows in the exterior portions of the building or just the glass that is in the interior offices. A lot of companies that have exterior glass have window services come to clean these surfaces and the Melbourne cleaning company that does the interior do not need to touch them.
You will have to pay an additional charge for some amenities like the cleaning of windows, or when you want specialized cleaning done. Most of the time the blinds need dusted and the furniture needs to be cleaned periodically and these are things the company would charge extra to do. Each company has its own special needs so each cleaning contract will be slightly different.
Most of the Melbourne Cleaning companies keep to the home cleaning Melbourne operations because they have not been offered any commercial cleaning contracts. If you own a business you should call and offer some of these companies the opportunity to bid on the work you need in your offices.
