With the year promising to be tough financially for many businesses, it is a time that we reassess our expenses, what we get and what we need. It is important that your cleaning is tailored to your requirements, and that the cleaning company is flexible to change as your business needs change. Reducing cleaning charges will change for each business, but below are some ideas for you to consider when looking at your cleaning bill. - Having one centralised bin for the cleaners to empty. This may involve either your staff emptying their own bins into a central office bin, or only having a central office bin, where your staff can put their rubbish. It is a lot quicker to empty one bin, than a bin at every desk. - Desk cleaning - you may ask staff to be responsible for the cleaning of their own desks. Usually desks are cleaned at the end of each week, and depending on the number of staff you have this could save quite a bit of time. - Dishes - ensuring staff either do their own dishes, or have a kitchen roster where staff take turns at doing the dishes at lunchtime and the end of the day. - Have your staffing levels gone down, reducing the cleaning requirements. Although you still have the same space, reduced staff can mean reduced mess, and sometimes, although not always, can reduce the amount of time required to clean your office or worksite. - Topping up of consumables in the toilet. This may be your cleaners responsibility, but could be something that one of your team could do. Although some of these things may seem like only a few minutes, they all add up, and could mean a reduction in your cleaning bill. At Quality Cleaning Services, not only do we tailor your cleaning schedule to your requirements, we are also very flexible, and able to change as your requirements change. If you need to review your cleaning, just give us a call, we will pop in and see you, and work through your new requirements.

It is extremely important for you and your cleaner to know exactly what cleaning is being done on your site. It is surprising how many potential new clients we visit are unsure of what their cleaner is meant to be doing. Every office & childcare is different, and every client's requirement is personal to your business. When getting a quote for commercial office cleaning or childcare cleaning, ensure you are clear about what you want your cleaners to do and not to do. When you receive your quote, make sure a schedule of cleaning duties is provided, including how often each task is done. At Quality Cleaning Services we provide a detailed personalised cleaning schedule for all of our clients. This provides a list of what is done in each area, and how often it is done. We also include highlighted notes on what you, the client does, as well as specific notes for security, rubbish and other variables - this ensures all our cleaners, and you know exactly what is expected. We include a copy of the schedule in our on site communication book, so if you are ever unsure of whether something is included in your regular cleaning, you can simply read through your schedule.

Having clean and hygienic bathrooms is one of the most important areas of your office, childcare or common area. You don't want your staff or customers coming into a dirty, untidy or unsanitary work place. I don't know about you, but I do judge a place on how clean there bathrooms are! HEALTH & SAFETY You want to ensure that your bathrooms are regularly cleaned to a high standard, using quality sanitisers and cleaners. Bathrooms are the number one spot for accumulating germs and then spreading them around your office or workplace. An unhygienic bathroom can lead to more people being off sick and hence a drop in your productivity. If you own a childcare, the cleanliness of your toilets will be a high priority for parents, who want to ensure there wee ones are in a safe and healthy environment. KEEPING YOUR STAFF HAPPY Having happy staff, is key to a successful business. If you treat your staff well, in turn they will treat your customers well and you all win! Happy staff starts with the environment in which they work. If you have a clean and healthy work space, it is telling your staff - and your customers that you value them. CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLEANING PROVIDER Make sure you choose the right commercial cleaning provider is essential. It isn't about glossy pamphlets, its all about actual results.

You want cleaners that are reliable, flexible and provide the quality they promise - That your toilet consumables are regularly topped up.

Why Hire A commercial Office Cleaning Company? ​While you may think that cleaning is easy, there are a few important reasons why you should hire a professional cleaning company . 1. Clean and Healthy Work Space for your Staff As part of today's Health & Safety, you are required to provide a clean and healthy environment for your staff. It is proven a clean and tidy environment can also improve staff moral, particularly if they are not lumped with additional cleaning duties. 2. The right equipment for the right job A professional cleaning company will have the right equipment and chemicals to provide a quality clean in your office. The staff will also be well trained and efficient, so will often be able to achieve a much better clean in less time than you or your staff, and as they provide all the chemical and equipment, it often means that it may not actually cost you more, and you and your staff can concentrate on what they are good at. 3. One stop shop Most cleaning companies not only provide general daily or weekly cleaning, but also carpet cleaning, vinyl floor maintenance and window and building cleaning. They can also provide t-towel & hygiene services, as well as provide your toilet consumables. Having all these services provided by one company you can trust, will greatly reduce your staffs time in trying to find a supplier, and reduce the number of companies you have to deal with, and invoices you have to process. Let your cleaning company do all the organising for you! 4. Accountability If the cleaning is not done to your satisfaction, you don't have to deal with staff meetings and procedures, you can simply call us and we do all the follow up and make sure that your cleaning is up to your required standard. At Quality Cleaning Services, we pride ourselves in same day response to any complaints or issues that may arise. We then follow up to make sure the same problem doesn't happen again! 5. You and Your Staff can Spend time on what they know best If you hire a professional cleaning company, to clean your office, childcare or work space, it means you and your staff can spend the time on your business, doing what you do best!!

Unlike Vinyl floors which are mopped every time we clean your office or work space, your carpets are just vacuumed. You know how dirty your vinyl floors get, well our carpets attract the same amount of dirt, that gets trapped down in the pile. Especially if you have dark carpet it is deceiving how dirty they really are. Often when we have cleaned carpets in an office or childcare the client is shocked to see how dirty the water is that has been extracted from your lovely carpets. The machines we use are extremely efficient reaching right down to the base of the pile, not just cleaning the surface. Using a steam clean machine, rather than just hot water, also ensures a fast drying time so everything will be nice and dry when you arrive at work the next day. We can also include a flea spray to ensure that you don’t get fleas in your carpet. Spring will soon be upon us, and this is a great time to spruce up your office. Give us a call and we will pop around and provide a free, no obligation quote to have your Auckland Offices looking spic and span and smelling fresh and new again.
