Need to hire a commercial cleaning service?

  1. Commercial Cleaning ServicesDetermine your janitorial service needs
    A realistic assessment of your building should include appearances, protection of your furnishings, and above all, maintaining a clean, sanitized environment to protect the health of your employees and clients. ABS can assist you in evaluating these features and recommend your best cleaning service options such as carpet and floor care, kitchen and restroom maintenance, and periodic work.
  2. List your specifications
    How often does your building require cleaning? Is it mostly tile or carpet? Which areas get the most traffic and usage? What frequencies should you perform for dusting, detail cleaning, and special projects? These functions should be clearly outlined in a commercial cleaning service quote.
  3. Identify contractor qualifications
    Determine the qualifications, capabilities, and experience of a commercial cleaning company. Are they bonded and insured? How many years have they been in business? Check out their client references. Determine their business philosophy and ethics. Ask how they maintain consistent quality with their management team. How often do they communicate with you?
  4. Contact a Commercial Cleaning Company

We make the transition as easy and painless as possible so that you do not have to worry about cleaning services. Our attitude is that we should completely manage your cleaning so you don’t have to.
