Cleaning techniques and equipment
Commercial office cleaning companies utilize a diverse range of cleaning techniques, chemicals, and equipment to efficiently and effectively conduct various cleaning tasks. Their services encompass a wide array of internal, routine cleaning duties within office spaces. This involves the maintenance of floors, tiles, partition walls, internal walls, suspended ceilings, lighting fixtures, furniture, and general cleaning. Additionally, these companies often manage window cleaning, deep cleaning of restrooms and washing facilities, as well as sanitation in kitchens and dining areas. They also oversee the replenishment of consumables and maintain feminine hygiene facilities. Tasks may extend to the cleaning of telephones, IT equipment, and other periodic cleaning as needed for a commercial business environment. Whether preparing a property for real estate viewings or tackling post-construction cleanup, their scope covers a comprehensive array of cleaning needs. Notably, in the case of carpets, regular vacuuming is complemented by hot water extraction, which is typically recommended every 18 to 24 months to maintain optimal cleanliness and hygiene. External cleaning, litter picking, and removal of graffiti may also be incorporated.
The two global cleaning industry associations, the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) and the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA), both publish standards for managers and operatives engaged in cleaning activities.
Consumables
Contracts often require the cleaning companies to provide consumables such as paper towels, toilet rolls, liquid soap, bin liners, etc.
Workers
Main article: CleanerThe commercial cleaning industry is extremely competitive and employees tend to be at the lower end of the pay scale. However, unionized workers may earn higher wages. Many commercial cleaning companies provide on-the-job training for all new employees due to the nonexistence of tertiary based courses for the cleaning industry. A trend in the cleaning industry is the elimination of the usage of more hazardous chemicals such as drain cleaners due to liability and environmental concerns. Individuals employed in commercial cleaning typically hold the job title of janitor, custodian, or day porter.
In Australia, the United States, and Europe, commercial cleaning companies are encouraged to screen all employees for evidence of a criminal background. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, cleaners working in schools, children's care homes and childcare premises are required by law to undergo a criminal record check
