In this podcast episode - "6 Ways To Lower Your Cleaning Budget Today," we discuss valuable information that can help you save thousands of dollars per month. We provide six practical ways to reduce cleaning expenses: with a BONUS at the end!
  1. Consolidate Services: Instead of hiring multiple cleaning companies for different tasks, find a single company that can offer a wide range of services. This can lead to better pricing, simplified communication, and streamlined billing.
  2. Adjust the Cleaning Frequency: Evaluate your cleaning needs and adjust the frequency of cleaning services accordingly. For example, reducing cleaning from five days per week to four can result in significant monthly savings.
  3. Update Your Scope of Work: Regularly inspect your facility to identify areas that require less frequent cleaning or where you can reduce the scope of services. Communicate with your cleaning company about unused areas or lower foot traffic zones to potentially negotiate a cost reduction.
  4. Negotiate a Better Price: Negotiate with your cleaning company for better pricing or terms, especially if you've been a loyal customer. Additionally, consider shopping around and comparing prices from different cleaning contractors to find a more cost-effective provider.
  5. Use Technology: Optimize your cleaning operations with technology. Utilize occupancy sensors to adjust cleaning schedules based on building traffic and employ supply monitoring systems to reduce costs. Technology can help improve efficiency and save money.
  6. Use Battery Operated Cleaning Equipment: Request your cleaning contractor to use efficient cleaning equipment and methods that require less time and labor. Battery backpack vacuums, for instance, can significantly reduce labor costs compared to corded alternatives.
Additionally, we suggest encouraging employee involvement in maintaining cleanliness to decrease the amount of cleaning required by contractors. However, it is important to strike a balance and avoid burdening employees with excessive cleaning tasks.

As a bonus tip, we recommend communicating your cleaning budget to your service provider. By letting them know your budget constraints, you may open up discussions that could lead to cost-saving solutions. We also emphasize the significance of setting clear expectations with your cleaning contractor and providing regular feedback to help them improve their service quality and potentially reduce costs. This can also prevent the need to search for a new cleaning company.

Overall, by implementing these strategies, listeners can effectively lower their cleaning budget while maintaining cleanliness and quality standards in their facilities.
