In order to properly maintain and run your retail store, it’s important to keep it in pristine and orderly condition. This will not only be for the reputation of your store and the impression of your customers but can also help you avoid any safety mishaps. Coordinating with a third-party janitorial service is easy, quick, and painless. It can also be useful to have their number on hand in case of any large messes occurring that you don’t feel equipped to handle yourself.
Cost Benefits
Believe it or not, hiring a third-party janitorial service can help save you money in the long term. Janitors will typically have either a single set price per cleaning session or hourly wages. This way, you’ll know upfront exactly how much you will be paying to get your retail store cleaned. If you do it yourself, you will have to make budget accommodations for all of the required cleaning supplies. These cleaning supplies include but are not limited to: spot cleaner, window/glass cleaner, bleach, floor cleaner, floor polisher, dusting fluid, cleaning rags, paper towels, brooms, mop handles, mop heads, gloves, and more. On their own, these products are already expensive. Having to buy everything can be even pricier. This is why it’s much simpler to hire an external cleaning company.
External Janitorial Services Offer Better Results!
This may very well go without saying, but the workers and employees from cleaning companies are good at what they do; that’s why they’re in the industry! Not only are they vigorously trained, but they have plenty of experience, many seasoned techniques, and an abundance of supplies. Many third-party cleaning companies are licensed, allowing them access to more chemicals and cleaning products than what is available over the counter. This allows the cleaning companies to prevent any dirt, grime, or gunk from building up; much better than regular retail employees or any at-home cleaning products! These cleaning companies are also able to (and sometimes prefer) to do their cleaning work after hours. After your store closes, all customers, retail employees, and closing routines are already off the premises and already completed. This allows the cleaning company to have more legroom. They are not required to move around any customers or employees; they can clean what they want when they want to!
Professional Janitorial Services
As important as it is to follow your own personal cleaning routine, it is just as important you hire an occasional third-party janitorial service. These janitors will be able to clean up any hidden gunk, grime and dirt that builds up over time. The janitors will be able to reach any hard to reach places like large and tall displays, light fixtures, walls, etc. We recommend hiring a janitorial service no less than once a month. This will leave your store in pristine condition, which is sure to leave a positive impression on your customers.
Presentation Matters
We are sure everyone in the retail industry is aware of how important the upkeep of any store’s appearance is. Before interacting with you or any of your staff, the store's layout and cleanliness will be the first impression every single one of your customers will have. If your store is messy and unkempt, your customers will (unfortunately) be quick to question the quality of the goods you are selling. In the mind of a customer, if someone is unable to keep up the maintenance with their storefront, who’s to say this poor maintenance and appearance will not reflect on the product?
