What's The Difference Between Residential And Commercial Cleaning?

Keeping your home or business clean is a priority, particularly in the pandemic. However, staying on top of either a residential or commercial property and keeping it in top condition can feel like a challenge. If you are looking to employ a professional to clean your building, you may be wondering how a commercial cleaning service differs from a cleaning service aimed at residential properties. 

Complexity

Working environments can be a lot more complex to clean than home environments. In some cases, you may need a warehouse environment cleaned - domestic cleaners are usually only skilled in house or apartment cleaning. These are less complex settings and require a different skill set.

Working Hours

Domestic cleaners and commercial cleaners work very different hours. While it is likely that a domestic cleaner will come into your property during the morning or afternoon, often when you are at work, this is not the case with a commercial cleaner. In an office setting, your cleaning team will usually work early mornings or late evenings - and for the busiest offices, sometimes both. This means that the daily cleaning schedule does not interrupt the workflow of your staff.

Optional Vs Necessary

Having an individual cleaner or cleaning service in your home is often seen as a luxury - something you have occasionally to carry out a deep clean, or to help you with weekly or monthly upkeep. Businesses and offices require more frequent support, often daily. This is because of the sheer number of people in your space. To keep the environment clean and healthy, you need a service that can provide this level of cleaning, which domestic cleaners may not offer. 

Taking Care

There is one thing that commercial and domestic cleaners have in common - that is the level of care they should take with your property and possessions. Whether they are dealing with high-level technology and data or your favourite ornaments, cleaners will display the utmost care. 

Quality Cleaning Products

Another similarity between commercial and domestic cleaning is that they will use high-quality products to suit your space. If, for example, you have a family member or staff member who requires the use of sensitive cleaning products, your cleaner should be able to accommodate for this, and know of alternative products to suit sensitive skin.

Emergency Events 

When there are emergency events - such as a fire or a flood - getting your building back to its best afterwards can feel like an insurmountable task. Whilst a domestic cleaning service is unlikely to be fully equipped to address these post-disaster cleanup operations (such as water damage restoration or fire and smoke damage repair), commercial cleaners are usually fully experienced in everything from daily cleaning maintenance to these more intense requirements.
