How much training does a cleaning company need to keep your office in great shape?
Actually, quite a bit! Professional cleaning companies don’t simply pick up a broom and call it business. They take the time to thoroughly train and educate their staff for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it’s just good business. It’s better to understand the particulars for different industries and materials so you can provide more services and properly care for clients. Second, it’s better safety for all. Improperly cleaning a particular type of industry, surface or material could result in damaging it or not actually eliminating germs and bacteria.
Essentially, it’s in the best interest of the cleaning company to seek out the most innovative solutions in their field and ensure all staff are trained and prepared.
There are SO many types of training and protocols that can be acquired, including:
- Cleaning and Disinfecting
- Infection Control
- Restroom Care
- OSHA and GHS Compliancy
- Hazardous Materials
- Basic and Essential Safety
- Bloodborne Pathogens
- Hard Floor Care
- Ceramic Care
- Wood Floor Care
- Carpet Cleaning (Dry Chemical, Hot Water, Spin Bonneting, Encapsulation)
- Carpet Spotting
- Personal Development and Supervisor
- Customer Service
- Window Care
- Green Cleaning
- and more!
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Each industry is not created equal. Cleaning a restaurant is far different than servicing a medical office or lab. There are unique protocols for how to correctly sanitize and disinfect the different industries including proper protective gear, cleaning products used and methods for space. Janitorial service training can be quite complex depending on what services are offered and what industries the company is planning on servicing.
Training is important. Business owners should feel secure that their space is properly cared for. Before hiring a commercial cleaning company, ask them what training or certifications they have regarding the care of your business. If they seem unsure or dance around the question, this is your cue to call other companies until you find the best fit for you.
