When it comes to getting your office cleaned, it can be tempting to keep it in-house or outsource to a family member or friend. In this blog, we’ll detail why it pays to hire a professional office cleaner.
1. Access to proper office cleaning chemicals
In order to clean your office effectively, you’ll need access to the right cleaning products. This means that instead of using an all-purpose cleaner, you’ll need to use cleaning products that are designed for a specific purpose, whether it’s polishing, disinfecting, or removing grime and stains.
By hiring a professional cleaner like PetraClean, you’ll have access to industry-grade cleaning chemicals that can’t be purchased from the local supermarket. This guarantees that your office will enjoy a deep, thorough clean, week after week. Plus, PetraClean provides these cleaning products as part of your cleaning service, meaning no out of pocket expenses.
Here’s a small sample of some of the chemicals we use at our office cleaning client’s premises:
Thunderbox 2 – Multi-purpose detergent. Thunderbox 2 is an acidic detergent formulated for removal of lime scale, rust, organic deposits, uric acid and encrustations from porcelain, ceramics, urinals and washroom fittings.
Jellybean | Mr D | Mrs D – Disinfectant cleaner. Our hospital grade disinfectant cleaners come in three lasting scents, Jellybean (lavender), Mr D (citrus) and Mrs D (spice). All our disinfectants meet WA Health Department guidelines.
Hibrite – Crème cleanser. Hibrite is a pale green liquid crème designed to deep clean and polish hard surfaces without scratching. Consistent use of Hibrite will protect the surface, helping to repel both grease and water.
Glaze – Window glass cleaner. Glaze is a streak free, powerful liquid window and glass cleaner. Glaze can also be used effectively on laminate, chrome, stainless steel, mirrors and tiles.
2. Take advantage of office cleaning experience
Cleaning an office is a lot different from cleaning the average home. There will likely be more bathrooms, or at least far more toilets, a larger kitchen, plus general office equipment like desks and computers, as well as boardrooms, waiting rooms and individual offices. The average office will also see much more foot traffic than the average home, meaning a proper clean is essential in creating an atmosphere that is pleasant for both staff and visitors.
Therefore, to ensure your clean is done right and in a timely manner, it’s important to choose a cleaner who has office cleaning experience. At PetraClean, we engage all of our cleaning team members and do not go through subcontract cleaning companies. This ensures that all our cleaners receive full training by us as part of the onboarding process and are regularly supervised to ensure a high quality of cleaning. With more than 50 years’ experience cleaning offices across Perth, we have spent years refining our practices, so you get the most out of your regular clean.
3. Every clean is done safely
While office cleaning isn’t a job you’d automatically think of as dangerous, dealing with chemicals and high cleaning to remove dust and cobwebs can pose a very real risk. If one of your staff members or a friend was to get injured on your premises while completing a clean, you would be liable.
By hiring a professional office cleaner like PetraClean, you can rest easy. All PetraClean cleaning team members follow strict OH&S protocols and are covered by Workers Compensation and Public Liability. This means in the unlikely event one of our cleaners is injured, or your office sustains any damage while we’re completing a clean, everything is fully covered by us.
4. Peace of mind that your office gets cleaned
By hiring a professional office cleaner, you’ll have the peace of mind that your office will be cleaned regularly, on the agreed upon day, at the agreed upon time. You won’t have to deal with internal staff members who probably won’t relish the task of cleaning, or friends or family that can become flaky over time.
At PetraClean, all our office cleaning clients receive a customised cleaning schedule that outlines the frequency of cleans, the day and times of cleans, as well as what is covered during every specific clean. This ensures we are on the same page with each and every one of our clients, and your office gets cleaned to the highest standard.
5. A whole office solution
Has your office ever run out of bin liners? What about hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, or tissues? By engaging a professional organisation for your cleaning, you can take advantage of a whole office solution.
At PetraClean, we can supply your office with all its consumable needs, plus all required hardware, including hand wash dispensers, paper towel dispensers, and toilet paper dispensers. All of our products are available to our customers in wholesale quantities at wholesale rates, with free delivery. We even keep track of your inventory and restock any products when you get low, taking the admin burden completely out of your hands.
Cleaning can be a stressful burden for many offices. By hiring a professional office cleaner, you can ensure that your office always gets a deep thorough clean, in a safe and timely manner. Plus, at just $55 to $60 plus GST per hour, it pays to get someone else to do the dirty work.
