Outsourced Cleaning Services Vs In-House Cleaners: Which Is Better?

Owning a business means you have to keep the premises clean. Not only is this a basic workplace health and safety requirement put in place to ensure that hygiene standards are met to protect employees and customers, but it is necessary to ensure that your reputation is maintained.

However, Auckland commercial cleaning costs money, and you want to ensure that you get the best possible results for what you’re paying. With that said, let us look at whether it is better to outsource your cleaning needs or whether you should keep it in-house.

Personnel

An in-house cleaning team will need to be employed by your business, which means that you need to meet all of the legal requirements of employment. These can end up becoming rather onerous and can end up costing you a fair amount. On the upside, their employment means that they are dedicated to your company and so can become quite familiar with the cleaning needs of the property.

An outsourced cleaning services provider will provide their own personnel, to which you have no personal obligation outside of the service fee. If they clean your premises regularly, they too can become familiar with the needs of the property.

Equipment

When employing in-house cleaners, you will need to provide all of the necessary cleaning equipment and consumables, as well as maintain and repair the equipment as it gets used. This is a hidden expense and also an administrative headache you could do without. 

Outsourced cleaners will provide their own equipment and consumables, so you won’t need to worry about this at all. They will know what equipment and products are best for cleaning your property and will simply factor their usage costs into your fee. This eliminates the need for you to worry about any of it.

Training

In-house cleaners will need to be trained by you to do the job you want. Since your expertise may not lie in cleaning services, you may not end up with the best quality cleaning as a result. 

Outsourced cleaning services will train their own employees. As cleaning experts, they will know how to school their cleaners in industry best practices and ensure that the best possible cleaning will result.
