Prior to hire a professional cleaning service provider, you should take notice of the office cleaning prices. This will help you feel more secure and confident when negotiating with different cleaning companies.

In general, the basic cleaning services provided will determine the office cleaning rates charged by cleaning companies. Primary office cleaning may include dusting and mopping, vacuuming, removing trash, removing debris, cleaning the bathrooms, etc. Depending on the area in which your office is located and the total area to be cleaned, these janitorial tasks could cost about $200-250 a month for once a week cleaning.

The office cleaning rates will also depend on whether the cleaners use their own cleaning supplies or whether you provide them with the cleaning products. If a company does not provide any of the supplies necessary to clean your facility, then buying these supplies could increase the cost of your annual cleaning bill. In its turn, this should lower the price charged by a cleaning provider. You should be aware that the overall cost of the cleaning will also depend on the frequency, types of floor surfaces, machines and supplies.

Before hiring a professional cleaning company, make a list of the cleaning services you require. It also should include the frequency of such tasks – whether you would like such tasks to be done at a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Also, write down the average area of office space to be cleaned.

It is always wiser to schedule regular visits. This way you will get a better price and you can rest assured that your office is clean and tidy all the time. It would be better to sign an office cleaning contract that clarify all the details.

Then you should make a list of cleaning companies that are located near your office. Compare their services and prices. Negotiate with them. The one which gives you the best bargain is obviously the way to go.

If you want to prevent permanent stains on your carpets, the rapid cleaning of spots and spills is essential. You should use an appropriate cleaning product to get rid of the stains. Always read the instructions before using any product. So, if you are ready to remove the stains, follow the procedure:

Remove any remaining solids. You can use a spoon or a putty knife to do that. Blot up the liquids with paper or terry towels. Then spray the stained area with solution. Wait 10-15 minutes for the cleaning solution to work. Repeat the procedure until the stain is removed. If spot still remains, try stain removal procedure below.

Unfortunately some spots and stains are very difficult to remove using a universal spotting solution. The spot may consist of difficult to remove materials, or it simply has been allowed to age for too long. There are two ways in which you can resolve this situation. The first option you may choose is to use the same universal cleaning solution, but in combination with a steam iron:

Spray the stained area with universal cleaning solution. Then wait 10-15 minutes for the solution to dwell. Take a towel and place it over the stained area. Place a steam iron at medium setting on the towel above the stained area. Make sure not to place an iron on towel longer than 45 sec. Repeat this procedure until the stain is removed. Then dry the area using a hair dryer. If the stain still remains you have one more option — hire professional carpet cleaning service. The cleaning service will provide you with quality work and results.
