Benefits of Bathroom Cleaning Services for Your Business
Hiring a cleaning service to manage bathroom cleaning at your business sounds like an efficient choice when taken at face value. Management and business owners often assume that the following benefits make it worthwhile:
Regularly scheduled cleaning is managed with ease.
Employees can focus on growth and service.
Management has one less thing to worry about.
But there are far more benefits to hiring a service to top off your cleaning supplies and manage your cleaning materials than there are to hiring people to do the actual cleaning.
Maintaining a Cleaning Schedule Is Easy
When you have a company that ensures you always have cleaning supplies on hand, your soap dispensers are full and your paper towels are stocked, the only thing left to do is clean. It’s easy to maintain a regular cleaning schedule for the bathrooms in your business when you don’t have to worry about a lack of cleaning supplies or shipments of toilet paper or paper towels getting delayed.
There will be no more last-minute cancellations, mixed-up schedules or other issues that cause the cleaning service to skip your business — you won’t have to work your schedule around the cleaning service. Instead, you choose when and how your bathrooms get cleaned. You can ask them to fulfill the tasks that are important to your business, not just what the cleaning service deems most important.
Cleaning Products of Your Choosing
When you hire a cleaning service, they choose the cleaning products they will use. You can make requests, but ultimately, the choice is determined by their bottom line and the companies they have partnerships with — not your preference.
When you hire a service to make sure your cleaning supplies are always stocked, you get to choose the brands and types you prefer. If you would like to use environmentally friendly products, all you have to do is ask.
From hand soaps and toilet cleaner to counter and sink scrubs, you have control over what is kept stocked in your business. This means you decide how much to spend, its impact on the environment and the smell it leaves behind.
Employees Can Focus on Growth & Service
When a company provides the service of refilling all soap dispensers, topping off cleaning supplies, refilling toilet paper and paper towels and washing all cleaning towels and rags, the only thing left for employees to do is clean the bathroom. This simplifies the process for employees.
In most cases, the average bathroom will take less than 30 minutes to clean, which means employees will be able to focus on other aspects of their jobs. In fact, shifts can be scheduled so the end of a shift involves cleaning the bathroom for 30 minutes after the new shift arrives. If this is done after every shift, it will take even less than 30 minutes, especially if there is a more intensive cleaning scheduled regularly.
Management Can Focus on the Big Picture
Bathroom cleaning and bathroom supplies are minutiae that don’t have a large impact on the big picture of a business. With the cleaning supplies and bathroom supplies taken care of and a simple cleaning schedule in place for employees that a shift lead oversees, management can turn their attention to larger issues.
What Can a Facilities Services Company Do for My Business?
It’s not just bathroom supplies and cleaning supplies that a facilities services company can top off and restock. A company like Alsco can help businesses manage a range of maintenance issues that get in the way of focusing on the big picture:
Uniform cleaning and replacement: Alsco offers a line of customizable uniforms for a range of industries, so you can design the uniform that works best for your business. Instead of having to keep stacks of uniforms on hand for your employees, we bring exactly what you need and restock as needed, so you never run out or have to worry about storage. Additionally, rather than entrust the care and maintenance of uniforms to employees, Alsco can launder dirty uniforms. We’ll also replace those that are ripped, stained or worn with new ones. This ensures your employees’ uniforms always look great.
Linen rental and cleaning: From bed linens and linen napkins to tablecloths and towels of all kinds, Alsco can supply your linens, replacing them as needed and washing the dirty ones when we bring the new stock. Again, you’ll always have the towels you need on hand, but you won’t have to store excessive amounts of inventory or worry about the care, maintenance or replacement of those towels.
Facilities maintenance and care: There are many details required to keep a business up to code, and Alsco can help. From the care and provision of anti-fatigue mats to the replenishment of first-aid kits to making sure you never run out of soaps and cleaners, Alsco handles the details of keeping your facility running so management doesn’t have to.
PPE provisioning: During COVID-19 and in the event of exposure to illness or fumes, PPE may be a necessity. Alsco can make sure your business never runs out of the protective gear that is right for your business and your employees.
Restroom services: Alsco also offers comprehensive restroom services. We can make sure all paper products are always stocked, soap and paper towel dispensers are full, hand sanitizing stations are replenished and the necessary cleaning supplies are always on hand.
