There will be plenty of business owners and managers reading whose business uses couches whether that be within hotel rooms, waiting rooms, reception areas, bars, or an office, however, whilst there are differences in how couches are used by businesses, one thing common to them all is the need for couch cleaning.
You could opt to do this in-house using the cleaning staff you already employ, however, there is an issue with this option. Whilst they might be excellent cleaners who work diligently, they will likely be general cleaners.
In other words, they may have an overall knowledge of cleaning, but they are unlikely to have the specialist knowledge required to professionally and effectively clean couches.
For that you need a couch cleaning company, which creates the question, how do you choose the right one?
Well, ever eager to help our readers, we have created a simple outline for how business owners and managers of businesses can choose the best couch cleaning service for their business.
Decide Upon Your Couch Cleaning Needs
Whilst you might know that you need to hire a couch cleaning company, the first step in choosing one is to assess what your needs are.
This means thinking about how many couches will need to be cleaned, the types of couches you have (e.g. leather/fabric/both), how often you will want them professionally cleaned, and you might also wish at this point to determine what budget you are prepared to allow for professional couch cleaning.
Ask Around For Recommendations
One of the most reassuring things to hear about any company or service you are considering hiring is that someone that you know has previously used or currently uses them and they are delighted with the results.
What you want to do then is to ask your friends, family, or other business acquaintances if any of them have used a professional couch cleaning service.
If any of them have, enquire whether their experience was positive or negative. If positive, ask them why that is the case, and for more details about that company.
Search Online For Reviews
Whether with or without a recommendation, for any of the couch cleaning companies you have shortlisted because they seem to offer the couch cleaning services you identified previously, you next want to search for reviews. These will usually be found online on websites that include Google and Trustpilot.
Do not just look at the average review score but read the reviews themselves, and more importantly, whether the company responded and how professional that response was.
Even if it were to simply thank someone for a positive review, this is a good indicator that the company values its customers and their opinions.
Seek Confirmation Of Their Credentials
This can be done in several ways. First, you could see if they are members of any state-based professional groups for cleaning companies, especially those for couch cleaning.
This can be a good sign that they meet industry standards. Being a member of local business groups such as Chambers Of Commerce is another plus. Finally, there is plenty to be discovered by simply phoning them and making a general enquiry to see how professionally they deal with it.
Ask Them For An Itemised Written Quote For Their Couch Cleaning Services
By now you should have crossed off your list any couch cleaning company that does not meet all of the above and created your final shortlist of those that do. Next, you contact each one and request they send you a written and detailed quotation for the couch cleaning services you need.
From there choose the couch cleaning company that you feel offers your business the best couch cleaning services at a price that is great value, as well as being within your budget.
