Should You Hire A Cleaning Company or Do It Yourself?

System4 IPS • Feb 25, 2021

When running a business, one of the most crucial areas for the business owner to keep an eye on and track the company’s expenses. The whole goal of being in business is that you want to save as much of the money that you make, and not have to pay it out to someone else if preventable. As a result, the business expenses need to be kept to a minimum as much as possible, which means looking for any way to reduce and cut costs.


One of the routes that many businesses make is that of forgoing the hiring of a commercial cleaning service, choosing instead to delegate their cleaning needs to their current staff to take care of. However, as it turns out, this is not the best direction to go, as it can actually be the most ineffective as well as a very inefficient manner in which to promote their business. When it comes to customers and clients, you will only have one chance to make an excellent first impression—do you want that first impression to hinge on whether or not your staff did as good of a job with your cleaning as they should have?


In order to understand just how beneficial the hiring of commercial cleaning service would be for your company, you will need to take a look at a few of the pros and cons involved in your decision making.


The pros of outsourcing your cleaning service may include:

  • A commercial cleaning service will provide their own cleaning supplies, which will not only save you money but also mean that you will have to worry about storage space for them.
  • Depending on your arrangement with the cleaning service, your business may be cleaned on a weekly or even daily basis.
  • You will also enjoy having the peace of mind knowing that the cleaning of your business is not only getting done but is getting done right.


The cons to keeping your cleaning service in-house may include:

  • Your staff will not be as motivated to make sure that the cleaning is done in line with any standards you may set down.
  • You will need to pull staff members away from the job they were actually hired to do, in order to facilitate the cleaning.
  • You will not only have the expense of your cleaning supplies, but you will have to set aside an area in which to store them.


It is always a good idea to take into consideration both the pros and cons of any decision making process. This is no different then when deciding if outsourcing a cleaning service is the route to go for your business. Let’s face it, you are in the business to make money.


Anything that takes your attention away from that task, such as the worry of your business’s cleaning schedule, will in time show to affect your bottom line. Reduce the chance of this happening beforehand, and outsource your cleaning. You will be glad you did.
