It’s been said that you always get what you pay for. This couldn’t ring more true in a service-based industry such as industrial cleaning.

The price is, of course one of the factors to consider when choosing a company to provide you with industrial cleaning services.  However, you should never choose one company over the rest simply because they are offering the cheapest quote. The best you can do is to always gauge the estimates you get from the different companies against the quality of service that you can expect to enjoy.  It may seem low-cost at the moment, but rest assured it will cost you in the long run, and that is why cheaper is never the better option.

The Best People Don’t Come Cheap

No doubt about it, having a highly skilled and experienced team has a great impact on the quality of service that you can expect on your industrial cleaning package. It is no secret that the best do not come cheap. It therefore makes perfect sense to think that a company that offers unreasonably low service rates, and by extension pays relatively little to its staff, may not have the best people working for it.

The industrial cleaning space is very competitive and every company wants to have a qualified team working for them, and that usually means offering incentives in the form of attractive remuneration packages and much more.

A reliable company may charge a little more, but you can definitely look forward to great quality of service because they will have a professional team working on your industrial spaces. Additionally, such a company will invest in continual improvement of its staff’s professional competence through on-the-job training workshops and the like, all of which will require a considerable input of resources.

Quality Equipment and Supplies Cost More

The industrial workspace requires specialist cleaning equipment and supplies. The going rates for this equipment, and especially those of premier-quality are rather high. Some companies will try to cut costs by investing in cheaper equipment that is of lower quality. Unfortunately, low quality equipment will result in poor quality service. Not only will the equipment fail to perform as expected and deliver high quality cleaning within given timeframes, such tools and equipment may even cause damage to your industrial surfaces.

A professional company on the other hand understands just how important it is to work with top-quality equipment and suppliers. Such a company will spare no expense in ensuring that they do get top-of-the-range equipment and cleaning supplies that have been proven effective for industrial spaces, even if that may mean passing down some of that cost to their clients.

Insurance Cover

Insurance rates are some of the overheads that a cleaning company has to deal with. Having an insurance cover covers all parties involved and clients generally feel more confident and have better peace of mind when working with an industrial cleaning company that is fully insured.

For a comprehensive insurance cover, the rates may be quite high. However, because a reliable company understands that it is not an option, they will ensure that they always pay their insurance premiums in full and on time. Some companies on the other hand may decide to cut corners and go for insurance covers that are not as comprehensive, or completely forego getting insurance.

Such overhead costs will ultimately affect the final service rate quoted. Insurance protects you as the client in the event of any accidents or incidents that may happen during the course of the company delivering the cleaning service. Working with a cheaper, uninsured company may seem like a cost-effective option at first, but faced with claims for worker compensation or damage to property as a result of an accident, you will have to think twice.
