Nowadays Janitorial services have become important, but the most important thing is to ask all your questions from your janitorial services contractor before you sign a contract.
all too often customers don’t ask enough questions of their janitorial services contractors. People tend to hire a firm based on price, get burned because of poor service, and repeat the process again and again.
If companies changed the way they hire firms, this wouldn’t keep happening. Most customers have become resigned to the fact that they won’t get good service and have very low expectations. We believe this resignation stems from the fact that people don’t understand the importance of hiring wisely. It is not their fault because most teams look, smell and sound professional.
But before hiring a firm it is best to ask your questions wisely from your janitorial services contractor and then deal with them.
Selecting a janitorial company is the same as hiring a C-level manager. Hiring the wrong person can have a major impact on your company. Why? Because janitorial firms are responsible for the presentation, safety and security of your building and its occupants.
Make sure you ask all your questions from your janitorial services contractor before hiring the firm.

G and G: Yes – Oxivir & EP50 are used which are Health Canada approved for both safety & cleaning effectiveness. Dwell time ranges from 1-11 minutes. Do we need further info on dwell times?
