Executive Offices: Checklist Helps Facility Managers Select the Best Cleaning Company

Oct 17, 2022

Finding the right commercial cleaning company hasn’t always been easy for Debbie Pino.


The office administrator at law office Kulzer & DiPadova in Haddonfield, New Jersey, has had her share of complaints with prior cleaning companies. Making sure the vacuums are run each visit, as opposed to sweeping, and failing to change each trash can were among her biggest complaints.


Kristin Rhoads, assistant to the CEO at real estate development company Pennrose in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, used to experience the same problems. “There was not a lot of communications and there was no management,” she said. “When we had an issue, we had to address it with the person who directly cleans. When that happens, you always hold back.”


Fortunately, both facility managers have found the right commercial cleaning company.


But they had to develop a checklist to find the solution to their cleaning problems.


Here’s what facility managers want from a commercial cleaning company:


A Commercial Cleaning Company That Listens


At CNS Commercial Cleaning Company, the family-owned business revamped its operations a long time ago based on the expectations of facility managers.


When CNS’ cleaning crews start an assignment, for example, they conduct a walk-through of the property with the client. This conversation goes beyond documenting the square footage. More importantly, the cleaning teams spend time listening. What do our clients want and need from our cleaning services? Where are the trouble spots? What was their experience with other cleaning services?


The company’s exceptional client care on top of its BBB A+ rating and more than 200 five-star Google reviews gives customers peace of mind as soon as work begins.


A Commercial Cleaning Company That Responds


CNS clients meet their assigned operations manager on the second walk-though. Think of the operations manager as the concierge officer. If clients have any questions during the service, team members will have the answer.


“The most comforting was that if we had an issue with a current crew, we could have that crew replaced,” Kristin said. “With a smaller business that’s not an option. We will never go back to a lower standard that we have set with CNS cleaning. The standard has been set here and that’s something we plan on keeping moving forward.”


After consultation, CNS cleaning crews will schedule the ongoing cleaning services during the second walk-through to ensure their work has little to no impact on daily operations. Daily cleaning tasks include sweeping and vacuuming open spaces, wiping down surfaces, cleaning restrooms and emptying trash cans. Some of the weekly tasks include wiping the baseboards, polishing steel handles and cleaning inside refrigerators. Spot cleaning high ceilings and vacuuming HVAC vents are included in the monthly tasks.


A Commercial Cleaning Company That Uses The Latest Technology


Whether it’s complete executive office or window cleaning, on-demand porter services or mold remediation, the independent company has a team of 400+ crew members that cover the entire Philadelphia region. CNS uses unique cleaning technologies, including an antimicrobial nanotechnology process that eliminates 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in many corporate settings, including executive offices. Team members are trained in CAT III river water and sewage removal in case of flood conditions.


CNS doesn’t require long-term cleaning contracts, so facility managers have maximum flexibility.


A Commercial Cleaning Company That You Can Trust

Trust is on Debbie’s short list when it comes to sourcing a commercial cleaning company. She looks for “someone trustworthy that we know we can allow into our facilities without the risk of theft and any other issues.”


Since CNS’ cleaning crews work days and nights, depending on the assignment, its crew members tend to be the first people or the last ones on property. So if they see something that doesn’t look right, even if it’s out of the scope of cleaning, they will call a pre-arranged emergency number to make certain your property is safe and secure.


Because it has been a while since Debbie has worked with a commercial cleaning company that she didn’t trust, she can barely recall the pain points. “This was so long ago,” she said. “We don’t even remember. We’ve worked with CNS for decades, and we have never needed to look elsewhere,” she said. “We never have any complaints, and any requests we have, they address immediately.”


Facility managers who use this time-tested checklist will sleep better at night because it will lead them to the right decision in commercial cleaning.


“Our No. 1 referral comes from our competitor’s mistakes,” said CNS President Bill Dunn. “At CNS Cleaning, we know we aren’t good unless our clients say we are.”

Facility managers at local offices know there is one sure-fire way to get compliments around the office. They hire CNS Cleaning Company . “Yes, often we are told how clean our office is,” said Delco Admin’s Carol Gallagher. “CNS is really reliable, thorough and consistent. We know when their crews will be on side, so we never have to worry about the cleaning. The office is always left spotless.” Christina Martin, a materials scheduling clerk at Do Good Foods in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, also hears the compliments: “Everyone has made mention of the huge difference in how things look since we hired CNS Cleaning Company. The company has drastically improved the entire experience from quality to customer service.” For some, the lack of complaints rings loud. “In this industry, no news is good news!,” said Daria Larsen, who manages multiple properties, most Class A medial office buildings for Atkins Companies in West Orange, New Jersey. “Basic things that you take for granted when they are clean, such as restrooms and floors, are always clean since we hired CNS Cleaning Company—and they are always there for us!” CNS Cleaning Company, which is celebrating its 40 th year of continuous operations , continues to grow its family-owned business at a 30% annual rate. Since 1983, the award-winning commercial cleaning company has kept its clients’ facilities clean despite natural disasters, recessions and one pandemic. CNS President Bill Dunn said standardized procedures has made the organization more effective since upgrades were implemented in 2019. As a result, the company expects to double its revenue this summer. “We are an extension of our clients who entrust us with their offices,” said Dunn about the added value his company provides. “We strive to build long-term partnership with each client by going the extra mile. As a commercial cleaning company, our team members are often the first in a building and the last ones to leave. We help keep your places clean—and secure.” For four decades, the family-owned business has earned a BBB A+ rating and more than 200 five-star reviews online from clients who appreciate CNS’ attention to detail, oversight and responsiveness. The CNS Secret Behind Rave Reviews When customers call CNS, they notice something differently almost immediately because a team member answers the phone. And if that team member doesn’t know the answer to a question, they will commit to finding the answer—or the person who knows the answer—within 15 minutes. When the company begins an assignment, for instance, they spend most of their time listening on the walk-through with the client. If there are questions during or after a service, CNS offers attentive management oversight that is responsive to any concerns. Regarding the overall experience, the amount of attention spent on the details exceeds industry standards for commercial cleaning. Here’s a closer look at some of CNS’ popular commercial cleaning services for local offices: Commercial Cleaning: Floor Services CNS’s latest floor cleaning equipment—which can be as big as a Zamboni-sized auto-scrubbing machine or as small as a lawnmower-sized auto-scrubber from Swing machines to burnishers—exceeds customer expectations. The company’s auto-scrubber machines clean the floors by extracting the dirt and the water into a reservoir tank. Any hazardous or contaminated water would be shipped to proper waste hazardous disposal areas. To provide extra care, CNS cleaning crews also strip and wax floors, taking the floor down to a base clean level before delivering a fantastic wet-look, clean-finish. In order to recoat floors, they remove the top layers of wax and apply more coats: four to five coats on sealed floors and six to nine coats on unsealed floors. Because CNS uses state-of-the-art technology and equipment, it can clean all types of floors , including LVT, ceramic and luxury vinyl. They also restore marble and hardwood. Since hiring CNS, Carol said she has noticed significant improvements in accountability and customer service, when compared to other commercial cleaning companies. She said she would “definitely” recommend CNS to other local offices. “They are very dependable, reliable and always answer any request we have,” she said. Commercial Cleaning: Window Cleaning Services CNS cleaning crews specialize in wicking, which means they clean the rubber tip of the window cleaner after every wipe to ensure the window is streak-free. This level of commitment takes more time, but the family-owned business believes client satisfaction is worth the investment. The cleaning team also hand-dries every single window to complete the process. When it comes to exterior window cleaning , CNS cleaning crews will rappel down the sides of the buildings that are four floors or more. They will also use plywood to lay over pavers and landscaping to ensure they don’t leave a mark. Daria said she would recommend CNS to other facility managers. “CNS has a very caring staff, and someone is always willing to answer any questions or concerns we have.” Commercial Cleaning: Carpet Cleaning Services CNS cleaning crews are trained to clean, shampoo and remediate all mold from commercial carpets . Team members only use distilled water, which removes 99.9% of the minerals, bacteria, pesticides and other contaminants that come with tap water. To properly treat, the cleaning crews spray into the carpet an environmentally friendly solution, which adheres itself to the particles in the carpet. This process allows CNS to quickly remove large amounts of grime—up to 30,000-square feet—with a HEPA vacuum. Christina said she would recommend CNS to other organizations. She said “level of attention and care to us as a customer” makes the company stand out among the rest in commercial cleaning. “CNS makes us feel important every time. The involvement in the management of our site is amazing. You might find a cheaper company, but you will not find better quality or customer service,” she added.
