Choosing a Commercial Cleaning Partner: 7 Questions to Ask
July 30, 2026 7 min read
A commercial cleaning contract is a long-term operating relationship. The questions below surface the differences that show up three months in.
Ask before you sign
- Are cleaners employees or subcontractors, and are they background checked?
- What is the staffing plan per visit, and who supervises quality?
- How are supplies and consumables billed?
- What is the process when a scheduled cleaner calls out?
- How are photos or completion reports shared after each visit?
- What insurance coverage is in place, and can you see a certificate?
- How are scope changes and extra requests priced?
We answer all seven in every proposal we send, along with a per-visit scope written for your building — not a generic template.
