Why Hire Professionals?

If you find yourself stressing over the cleanliness of your business or are finding it difficult to find time to thoroughly sanitize your workspace, hiring professional cleaners might be the solution for you. There are plenty of services out there to help you manage your cleaning needs so you can focus your attention on your core business. We have come up with several reasons why hiring professional cleaners is advantageous for business owners.

Your Staff

As professional cleaners we have witnessed plenty of businesses that do their own cleaning. What we have found is that it is very difficult for employees, who were hired for their skills in another area, to also know how to clean to professional standards while using their time efficiently.

Motivation can be an issue as well. If you were hired for one task, but then asked to clean the business each day, you may find those duties demeaning. This can lead to lower staff satisfaction and decreased efficiency and in turn, lower staff retention. 

Another view to consider is the differences between cleaning your home and cleaning your business. While most people have experience cleaning their home, cleaning your business can be vastly different. Over the short term your methods from home may work, but professional cleaning with commercial quality equipment ensures long-term consistency, prevents unnecessary buildup and reduces wear and tear on your space.

Spending an hour or more a day cleaning your workplace is time you could spend elsewhere like with your family, promoting your business or enjoying our beautiful surroundings! Likewise, if you have employees using their time at work to tidy up, that is time they could be spending supporting your business by performing the duties that add value to your company. And without proper training in janitorial standards they will likely apply their household cleaning strategy, which, as noted earlier, is much different from commercial cleaning.

Your Customers

The truth is, customers are less comfortable and less willing to spend money in businesses where they see dusty counters, smudged windows or dirty washrooms. You don’t need your customers to compliment the cleanliness of your building every time they step through the door, but you should be taking appropriate steps to ensure they aren’t leaving your business thinking about how filthy it is. The impact you should be leaving your customers with in terms of cleanliness is, nothing at all! Generally, people won’t be actively aware of a clean workspace, but they will almost certainly notice dust and dirt.

Plus with the current threat of COVID-19, customers are worried about the unseen cleanliness of your business and whether or not you are taking sanitizing and disinfecting seriously. This is an area that can be hard to thoroughly understand and keep on top of without professional assistance.

Professional Products

Commercial cleaners use high-quality cleaning agents, which are purchased in bulk to reduce costs for both themselves and their clients. They are chosen for a variety of factors including their cleaning ability, their low negative contribution to indoor air quality and ideally for their environmental and social impacts. Most business owners will buy generic products from grocery stores or from their industrial suppliers which will be used up quickly (if proper cleaning is done regularly). These products will cost significantly more long term and they are often not the best products that can be used for a given situation. Professional products are certified to sanitize and disinfect more effectively than store bought products so you can be sure your business will be free of germs, keeping your employees and customers healthy.

Not only are commercial cleaning agents important, but so is the equipment used by professional cleaning companies. Compared to household equipment, commercial rated appliances such as the vacuums KHJ uses at its locations are much stronger, durable and efficient, leading to better cleans and less downtime. We also offer floor waxing/buffing and high-temperature carpet cleaning which requires expensive equipment that are not commonly owned by most businesses.

Professional People

We value our client’s schedules as much as our own, which is why we have multiple staff trained on all client locations. Our redundancies are in place to ensure we never miss a clean. With KHJ, you work with us to choose the hours and days that your business will be cleaned and develop a detailed scope of work. This ensures a high level of accountability and allows you to spend your time elsewhere, knowing you will always be returning to a spotless workplace the next day. 

We take pride in our rigorous training process we provide to our employees. This should not only leave you with the confidence that things are being done consistently well, but also that the service is as cost effective as possible. KHJ also requires rigorous background and security checks of all of our employees. This, along with being well ensured for loss, can leave you feeling confident that your space is always safe and secure. 

Your time is more valuable to spend on your business and your life outside of it rather than on cleaning. Professional cleaners help alleviate stress so you can focus on what is important to your bottom line while trained cleaners work silently in the background to keep your business spotless and everyone inside healthy.
