Running a hotel means you operate 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. Operating around-the-clock means your hotel or motel must be ready to
receive guests at any time, and that every place in your establishment from
your lobby to your guest rooms and everywhere in between must appear clean and
comfortable.
As a result, more hotels, motels, and restaurants are
outsourcing their housekeeping services to professional janitorial cleaning
companies to clean guest rooms, common areas, and other facilities. Outsourcing
allows these venues the opportunity to provide consistent cleaning service by
having a full-service cleaning crew at the ready to keep up standards and protect
their image.
Aside from helping to keep up a positive image and ensuring
guest satisfaction, contracting out your cleaning to a professional cleaning
company allows you an opportunity to impact your bottom line by reducing
overhead. Reductions in expenses can be realized because professional cleaning
companies offer more manpower and can tackle cleaning jobs quickly and more
efficiently than in-house cleaning teams. This means a potential elimination of
overtime hours (and overtime dollars) spent completing maintenance and cleaning
duties. Outsourcing may also allow you another opportunity to improve your
bottom line and to cut expenses further and save labor dollars by potentially
eliminating the need to keep in-house cleaning and custodial staff on payroll
completely.
Another benefit to outsourcing cleaning services for your
hospitality business to a professional cleaning company is the ability to
handle all functions of cleaning in their offerings and eliminate the need for
additional vendors. Cleaning service crews are thoroughly trained and able to
tackle large jobs like maintaining your lobby and common area furniture, window
cleaning, and floor and carpeting maintenance. Other cleaning specialties of
some janitorial service cleaning companies include maintaining fitness area
equipment, saunas, and hot tubs.
Good Clean Fun
If you’re in the business of fun and games and own or manage
another type of hospitality or entertainment venue such as a bowling alley,
movie theater, arcade, or concert arena, you know that keeping your facility
clean is a monumental task. Maintaining restrooms, keeping concessions clean,
and ensuring common areas and seating are up to snuff is a lot for in-house
cleaning crews or hourly employees to manage. If you want to make sure your
floors aren’t sticky and you have happy customers that will come back, you
should consider hiring a professional janitorial service.
Janitorial service companies tackle your toughest cleaning
jobs more efficiently than hourly employees who should be focusing on sales and
ensuring customer satisfaction. Janitorial services prepare your place for
crowds. They will clean, stock, and sanitize restrooms to keep them fresh,
ready, and protect your patrons’ health. Door handles and handrails also collect
germs as customers visit and move through your business. Professional cleaning
crews tackle your floors and carpets and even make sure they’re protected
against oil, dirt, and chemicals tracked in by your customers. Janitorial
service companies handle your seasonal maintenance to polish and wax floors in
foyers and hallways, and deep clean your carpeting to prevent stains.
Professional janitorial service companies also protect your
investment by cleaning your venue’s seating including fabric coverings found in
movie theaters and concert halls. Cleaning fabric upholstery removes dirt and
grime that can build up in threads and make fabric appear dingy and
unattractive to guests. Dirt and grime also make upholstery fabric wear faster.
If you’re considering outsourcing your entertainment venue’s
cleaning needs, contact a professional janitorial service for quotes. If your
business keeps late hours, make sure you communicate your scheduling needs when
searching for a provider. This allows the vendor you choose to understand your
schedule, clean behind the scenes, and make sure your customers are having
good, clean fun!
