What to Evaluate
Insurance & Bonding
Request certificates of insurance and confirm liability coverage matches your building requirements.
Background Checks
Every specialist who enters after hours should be background-checked — no exceptions.
Written Scopes
Frequencies, restrooms, floors, and kitchenettes should be documented before pricing is final.
Walkthrough Guarantee
Quality drifts without accountability. Insist on a partner who will re-clean misses at no charge.
Reliable Scheduling
Ask how no-shows are handled and whether backup crews exist for multi-site portfolios.
Day vs Night Coverage
Many facilities need both nightly deep cleaning and day porter support for restrooms and lobbies.
Product Transparency
Green or standard — you should know what chemistry is used on your floors and high-touch surfaces.
