​While you may think that cleaning is easy, there are a few important reasons why you should hire a professional cleaning company.

1. Health & Safety
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 the cleaning company and they do all the follow up and make sure that your cleaning is up to your required standard.

5. Liability
Your cleaning company should have full Indemnity insurance, so if something does go wrong, or the cleaner breaks something, this is covered on their insurance not on yours.

With the Auckland weather warming up, and less wet and dirty shoes pounding your carpets now is a great time to get your carpets cleaned for summer.  Our carpet cleaning team have years of experience and are great at getting out those stubborn stains.

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.

While your main priority with your Auckland Cleaners is that they provide a quality cleaning job, there is much more involved in cleaning company offering a fantastic service.  The cleaning company that provides the cleaning for your office or commercial site should also:

• Have easy and simple communication 
• Should respond to any issues or requests quickly and efficiently
• Ensure your cleaners have quality equipment that is regularly serviced and test tagged
• Ensure the chemicals your cleaners use are not harmful to you or your staff - you should have all the MSD for all the chemicals used at your site
• Have full Professional Indemnity Insurance
• Have a great support and backup team for your cleaners (to cover if your cleaners are sick or on holiday)

Most people think it is easy to clean, so many commercial cleaning companies don't put a lot of emphasis on training.

However cleaning is no different from any other industry, if you provide structured, detailed training, with support and follow up, the result will be much better for your business.

Our office cleaners and childcare cleaners go through our full training manual, whether they are new to cleaning, or have cleaned for 20 years - there is always something to learn.  Not only do we detail our procedures, systems and chemicals, but also our health and safety policies and procedures.  They then receive onsite training, so they are aware of all the security & health and safety for the specific sites they are cleaning. 

By the end of the training our cleaners are fully aware of our quality expectations and can provide you with the quality office clean you expect and deserve.

We are always looking for commercial cleaners in the wider Auckland area to join our team.  We are looking for generalcommercial cleaners, office cleaners andchildcare cleaners.  The majority of our work is after 5pm, but we also have some day work available.  
If you are honest, reliable, have your own transport and phone and have an eye for detail, pop us an email and let us know where you live, your experience (if any) and what days and hours you are available.  We will be in touch to let you know what positions we have available in your area, and arrange an interview.

Communication is key in all business, and commercial cleaning is no different.  If you want your office cleaner to do something extra, come in a different day or time, or if you do have an issue, you want to know that you can contact your cleaning company at any time.

As well as having communication books on site for you to leave messages for your cleaner, we are only a text, phone call or email away.  We will respond quickly to any requests, or any issues that may arise.

With all commercial cleaning the biggest cost is labour.  Some commercial cleaners think because labour is their largest cost, they don't need to worry so much about the equipment and chemicals, but ensuring your office cleaners have the right equipment and chemicals means they can work quickly and efficiently while providing a quality cleaning job. 
​ 

• Vacuums - We ensure that all our vacuum cleaners are regularly serviced and test tagged, and any maintenance is done immediately - don't forget that cleaning out the vacuum dust bag daily will make vacuuming much better and faster!
• Cleaning Cloths - Microfibre cloths mean not as much chemical is needed, and if cloths are kept clean, and wrung out properly will mean cleaning is much quicker and easier.  ​
• Chemicals - ensuring your cleaners have the right chemicals for the right job is essential.  Using the wrong chemicals can mean something isn't cleaned properly, takes longer to clean, or can damage the surfaces you are cleaning.

The difference between a good office cleaner and a great office cleaner is in the detail.  Here are 5 things we get our cleaners to do, that really make a difference.

1. Use a toothbrush to clean around taps and plug holes - this removes all the dirt and grime caught around the edge.
2. Damp wipe as much as possible, rather than just dusting.  Dusting just moves the dust around, and often it just settles in different places.
3.  Weekly take the foot of the vacuum and vacuum into the corners, edges and behind furniture
4. Polish it dry - so that you don't leave smear marks.  Once we have damp wiped sinks, taps, benches and desks, we finish by polishing with a dry micro fiber to leave a streak free surface.
5. Ensure your bin liners and rubbish bags, are opened right out, and any excess is pulled tight and tied, or secured.  There is nothing worse than going to put something in your bin and the bag isn't open properly, or it slips into the bin because it's not secured.
6. Small things really make a difference!

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 who are unsure of what their cleaner is meant to be doing.
Every office is different and every client's requirement is personal to your business, so at Quality Cleaning we provide a detailed personalised cleaning schedule.  This provides a list of what is done in each area, and how often it is done.  We also include highlighted notes on what we don't do, 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.
Communication is key to a great working relationship, so being clear about the service you are paying for is extremely important.
