Obviously your staff may not be happy about having this extra duty placed on them when they may already feel under pressure to do their normal job. But what other issues do we need to consider?

For example if you wanted to clean your office you would need to buy a number of different cleaning products and equipment.

Who is going to take responsibility for going out to buy more cleaning products when levels run low or are all used up? This is a cost implication for time spent and time not doing their normal job!

You may decide to employ an extra person to do the cleaning thus doing away with some of the savings but if you are considering using your existing staff you need to calculate into the process the lost opportunities for staff doing their “normal job”. Will that suffer if they are asked to do these extras and at what cost to your business?

If that person is not proficient on cleaning duties it will need to be done again an added expense and once again your office staff would not be using their skills and training in your business.

In addition the potential for damage to your office interiors increases as the person does not understand the use of some materials and the surfaces being cleaned.

I recall going into one office complex and seeing that the cleaner (also employed as a book-keeper) had squirted some strong bleach on a floor and it had burnt the floor almost beyond economic repair.

Are you aware of the dangers of mixing cleaning chemicals (even household strength cleaning products)? Did you know mixing some toilet cleaners together can give off poisonous Chlorine gas?

• Have you all the skills in house to develop all the health and safety guidance in-house? Or will you to pay to outsource it?

• Who would do the required risk assessment for each and every cleaning task being performed? Not Necessary… just wait and see what the Health and Safety Inspector has to say after an accident on your premises!

• Do you have copies of the COSHH data sheets for every single cleaning product your staff purchase in the event of an incident?

Your local superstore will not supply them for the general household products they sell!| Can you be certain that you have the required COSSH safety data sheets for every single cleaning product your staff purchase?

Your local supermarket or corner store will not be able to supply these legal documents and you will need them on site in case of an safety incident.

To sum up you need to be asking yourself some important questions such as

• ” Will I lose more money by taking staff away from the main business focus than I pay to use a professional cleaning company”

• ” What are the currently unbudgeted costs I will need to add on to cover for time spent cleaning the office twice, additional costs for repairs due to mistakes, increased insurance premiums and cost of compensation for breaches of health and safety including accidents to staff? ”

Those issues are dealt with best by hiring a professional cleaning company just as you consult a lawyer, an accountant or any other specialist worker for the business.

Cleaning is always an important part of any business, whether you have small, medium, or big enterprises. A clean office or working space can always affect the working output and the mood of employees. The cleaner the working place is, the more productive and relaxing it will be.

However, you don't have time to do the cleaning. You don't even have enough money to hire a company cleaner. Why not hire services from a cleaning company? You have various choices from the small to the big cleaning companies.

Cleaning companies such as The KleanTeam can give you more cleaning benefits. Below are the comparisons between The KleanTeam and other smaller cleaning companies.

1. The KleanTeam have more cleaners . A tiny office can already have a satisfying cleanup with only one cleaner. But a bigger office, especially buildings, need more cleaners.

But a company such as The KleanTeam can employ 10 or more cleaners to finish the job in one day.

3. Cleaning companies like The KleanTeam offer more cleaning services. Perhaps your office needs specialised cleaning for the toilet, the ventilation, rooftop, windows and carpets.
