Finding the right cleaning company in Davidson County boils down to knowing what you need and finding a company that can effectively and efficiently fill those needs. At TNT Group Janitorial + Building Solutions, we understand what you’re looking for in a commercial cleaning company, so we’ve put together a quick guide on how to find the right commercial cleaning business for your commercial space.


Experience


When researching a company, ensure they have a minimum of a few years of experience under their belt. We all want to root for start-ups, but a company that started yesterday won't have the experience and knowledge to clean your space effectively. Instead, look for a company that's been around for longer, such as TNT Group Janitorial + Building Solutions, which has been in business since 1994, because they’ll know what they’re doing.


Certifications, Training, and Standards


When verifying the legitimacy of a business, you can't go wrong with checking its certifications. They'll need to have Occupational Health and Safety certifications and different certifications on their cleaners and equipment. For specialized commercial spaces, look for certifications around those spaces (such as in medical cleaning or factory spaces).


You can also verify that their employees are trained and certified. The company's certifications are great, but it's people who clean your commercial space. Ask about what kind of training they provide and what their standards for cleanliness are.


Affordability


Anytime you're looking for a service for your business, you must weigh the cost against the benefit. To do this, have a good idea of everything you need cleaning and how often, and ask them what those kinds of services would cost. Then, ensure you're getting a good balance of cost (unfortunately, you'll never get it for free) and exactly what you need.


The Right Answers to Your Questions


Asking questions is a normal part of considering hiring a company, and a potential cleaning company must be comfortable and transparent when answering your questions. After all, if they start getting nervous just talking to you, can you trust them in your business?


Some questions you can ask to get a better idea of the trustworthiness of a cleaning company are:


• What sizes and types of workplaces do you usually clean?

• When are you available to start, and what would a potential cleaning schedule look like?

• What plans would you have for cleaning our space?

• Can you give me a quote?


Quality of Work and Reputation


Asking about the quality of a cleaning company’s work is important because it will give you more information about whether their services will meet your needs and standards. Asking for a quick rundown of what they usually do in a space or proof of the quality of their work is a normal part of the selection process, and they should have some kind of reference for you to look at about what kind of work they’re capable of.


Speaking of references, a company can live or die on its reviews. Take the time to peek at their Google or Yelp Reviews. Don’t forget to take them with a grain of salt; more negative people review than positive, so be sure to weigh the good with the bad.
