01 — How to vet a commercial cleaner

What a cleaner’s own site can prove. What their site can prove. And what you will have to ask. What you still ask.

RequirementWhere cleaners usually state it

Service area
A service-area page that names the cities and suburbs they cover.
Offices and other commercial sites
The services page: offices, retail, warehouses, and whether they also clean houses.
Night and after-hours service
The services page or FAQ, where they state the hours crews work.
Insurance and bonding
The About page or the footer. A website can say insured and bonded. Only a certificate shows the policy and its limits, so that goes in the RFQ.
Who does the cleaning
The About or careers page: their own employees, subcontracted crews or franchise owners.
