As a commercial cleaning company, we serve hundreds of clients every day and night. We've seen it all, from small businesses to large corporations. Some of our clients have their services delivered during business hours and others realize the benefits of having after hours cleaning performed.
We have noted that larger facilities with higher amounts of traffic usually have day porters to keep washrooms clean, empty garbage, and disinfect handrails in high traffic areas. All other duties such as dusting, wiping, vacuuming and mopping plus garbage removal are tasks that are performed at night to ensure a safe, effective, and cost-efficient cleaning service.
Let’s compare to understand why after hours cleaning is the better choice:
| Benefit | Cleaning during business hours (when employees and other workers are present during the cleaning session). | After Hours Cleaning (when only the cleaning crew is present during the cleaning session). |
| Efficiency | Sound pollution is produced by operating vacuum cleaners. | Employees are not disturbed by sound pollution. |
| Efficiency | Complete disinfection cannot be achieved as frequently touched areas are being continually touched. | Complete disinfection can be achieved. |
| Efficiency | Cannot perform dusting of desks and cubicles as people are working at their desks. | Complete dusting of desks and cubicles can be performed. |
| Efficiency | Emptying garbage becomes irrelevant as the garbage cans could get filled any minute. | Garbage cans can be emptied successfully. |
| Efficiency | Cleaners have to work around people doing their normal work routines which could be distracting and interruptive to both employees and cleaning staff. | Fewer people (cleaning crew only) means fewer interruptions. |
| Efficiency | Crew members have to work with the changing realities on the ground. It’s close to impossible to create a working path and process to optimize time spent at the facility. | An optimal path can be created and followed to effectively clean the workplace. |
| Safety | Increased chance of slips and falls due to the presence of obstacles presented by the existence of cleaning equipment and cleaning staff in conjunction with employees. | Fewer people (experienced cleaning crew only) means fewer obstacles and a safer working environment. |
| Safety | The use of cleaning chemicals creates scents in the immediate areas of the workspaces which could adversely affect some employees. | Employees would not be affected by scents. |
| Safety | Wet-mopped surfaces should be avoided due to an increased chance of slip and fall incidences. | Accessibility to wet areas can be limited until they have dried. |
| Safety | Having additional personnel working in close proximity increases the chance of exposure to various illnesses that could impact both our cleaning crews and your employees. | Fewer people (and a greater distance between them) results in a decreased chance of the spread of disease. |
| Cost-Efficiency | Cleaned surfaces could easily become dirty again after immediate use, requiring additional cleaning. | Once the cleaned surfaces have been cleaned, they will remain so until the next business day. |
| Cost-Efficiency | You’ll never reach a “Total Clean” point at any time during office hours, which would require additional cleaning sessions to achieve. | By the end of the cleaning session, “Total Clean” will be achieved. |
