How to choose a cleaning company

When compare the offers, assess the overall performance, not just the dollar value. The criteria generally include,

  • Quality of Service
  • Pricing
  • Plan Delivery
  • Industry Experience
  • Customer Service
  • Health & Safety Plan

Capability

Capability of cleaning company
Capability measurement of cleaning company

Before making a decision, you may want to assess the capability of the cleaning company, such as

  • how many years the company has been operating?
  • the size of the cleaning team.
  • are they sole trader or a commercial company?
  • Is the company insured?
  • do they have correct ISO certificate?
  • Apart from regular cleaning, can the company also perform sanitising, periodic carpet cleaning or hard floor strip & seal. To have a company capable for all your cleaning demand will save you time on frequent researching and procurement process.
  • Does the company also offer gardening and ground maintenance service. To select one service provider for your cleaning and gardening service will potentially increase your bargaining power, and get you the best offer.
  • what equipment they will use in your facility?
  • what chemical will be applied? Are they safe for children and environment?
  • does the company have previous experience in similar segment?

The capability of the company will sustain the job offering, satisfaction, and your overall experience.

Experience

Experience in cleaning industry
importance of experience in cleaning

It is important to select a cleaning partner with good experience in your industry. When you select a cleaning partner, you rely on the company or individual to apply the right chemical and run the right equipment to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene on your facility.

Customer Service

Importance of Customer service in cleaning company

At end of the day, it is all about customer service.

  • 2 am Saturday morning, the security alarm is on, you want to quickly check if the cleaner trigger the alarm and be able to turn it off, rather than drive an hour to the site.
  • Is your cleaning service provider never available nor reachable?
  • Is your cleaning service provider never able to make the invoice number right?
  • Does it take forever for your cleaning company to provide a carpet cleaning quote?

It is very critical for your cleaning company to have good customer service skill and standby supporting team. However, it is also very difficult to have a cleaning company who will be able to offer a decent customer service. With White Spot Group, you will have a dedicated account manager, operation manager to overlook your site and answer your question; we also offer guaranteed response time for any emergency cleaning requirement. With White Spot group, you know you will have a good customer experience. Give us a call (0800 107 017) today and experience the difference.

Health & Safety

importance of health and safety in cleaning industry

Every cleaning company should have a health and safety plan, for the cleaners, for the cleaning site, also for public. If your premises is a public facing venue, enforcing health and safety for all your service providers will be the key to sustain a safety environment, and retain the level of your insurance premises. Health and Safety is about to apply the right chemical, use the right equipment, and raise and aware safety hazard if any.

Apart from above, the preliminary checklist for a cleaning service provider should include:

  • Public liability insurance
  • ACC levies current and employer obligations met
  • Proper PPE
  • Safety Data Sheets for chemicals
  • Tag and check for all the electricals
  • NZ Police vetting and Children's Act 2014 safety checks (if apply to your industry)
  • ISO certificate

How do you reduce water use on site?

Microfibre systems use a fraction of the water of traditional mop-and-bucket methods and are changed between zones rather than rinsed and reused, which cuts both water use and cross-contamination. Machine scrubbers are dosed to the floor area rather than filled by habit. External washing is scheduled with the weather and to the trade waste rules of the local council, so runoff is managed rather than sent to a stormwater drain.

Does using greener products mean a lower standard of clean?

No, and if it did we would not use them. Environmentally preferable products have improved enormously, and for the great majority of commercial cleaning tasks floors, glass, general surfaces, washrooms they perform as well as conventional chemicals when they are dosed correctly and given the right dwell time.

The difference usually comes down to technique rather than chemistry. Most complaints about green products trace back to under-dosing or rushing the job, not the product itself. That is a training and supervision issue, and it is ours to manage.

Are your products certified under Environmental Choice New Zealand?

Environmental Choice New Zealand is the country's official ecolabel and the certification most New Zealand procurement teams look for when they assess cleaning suppliers.

We will confirm in writing which of the products proposed for your site carry Environmental Choice New Zealand certification, and supply the certificates, as part of any quote or tender response. Where a product we recommend is not certified, we will tell you why it is being used rather than leave it unstated.

How does cleaning affect our carbon footprint?

Less than most people assume, but not nothing, and the levers are practical. We buy concentrates rather than pre-diluted product, so we are not freighting water around the country. We plan routes and rosters to cut unnecessary travel between sites. We maintain equipment so it runs efficiently and lasts, instead of replacing it early.

With New Zealand's 2050 net-zero target legislated under the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019, more clients are asking their suppliers to account for this. We would rather show you the specific choices we make than quote you a headline number.

Can you give us waste and recycling data for our sustainability reporting?

Yes. Where we manage your waste stream we separate at source and report on what is diverted from landfill, which supports council waste minimisation targets under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and gives you numbers you can put into your own reporting.

What is achievable depends on what your council and waste operator actually collect in your area kerbside and commercial recycling differ markedly between Auckland, Wellington and the smaller centres. We will tell you honestly what is divertible at your site rather than promise a rate we cannot hit.

What cleaning products do you use, and are they safe for our staff?

We use low-toxicity, environmentally preferable products wherever the site allows, dosed through controlled dilution systems so the concentration is right every time and nothing is over-poured. Safety data sheets for every chemical on your site are held on file and available to you on request, as required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

Where a site needs a stronger product for genuine hygiene reasons a medical practice, an early learning centre, a commercial kitchen hygiene wins. We will not compromise infection control to make an environmental claim look better.

We make the visible invisible - Just Cleaned it.
