# Are All Cleaning Companies LIARS?

No, of course not! But we couldn’t help chuckling when we stumbled across a “How to Choose a Cleaner” guide online. It listed some “must-ask” questions that sound great in theory but make you wonder... what are the odds of getting completely honest answers from every cleaning company out there?

Let’s break it down.

## **The Questions You Should Be Asking**

Here are the seven key questions this guide suggests you ask your cleaning service:

1. **How thorough are they in performing their tasks?**  
   Chances are, they’ll say “very!” But without seeing their work in action, how can you really know?
2. **Are they inspected regularly by a quality assurance supervisor?**  
   Most will claim they are, but what does that really mean? Once a week? Once a year? Never?
3. **How quickly do they respond to problems?**  
   “Oh, we respond immediately!” Sure, that’s what they’ll say. But what happens when there’s a spill in the lobby and you can’t reach them?
4. **Do they like feedback?**  
   Every cleaning company *says* they welcome feedback—but do they actually listen, or does it go in one ear and out the other?
5. **Are other clients happy with their services?**  
   "Our clients love us!" they’ll insist. But if you can’t see reviews, testimonials, or references, it’s just words.
6. **Do they have emergency action plans?**  
   Most cleaning companies will say they do, but when an emergency strikes, are they ready to handle it?
7. **Are they using safe and green products?**  
   It’s easy to say “yes,” but some companies cut corners to save costs, even if it means compromising on safety or sustainability.

## **Why These Questions Are Important**

While it’s easy to imagine cleaning companies giving glowing answers to all these questions, they’re still important to ask. Here’s why:

- **Accountability:** A reputable company should have clear systems in place for inspections, feedback, and problem resolution.
- **Transparency:** Honest companies won’t hesitate to explain their practices or provide proof of their claims.
- **Quality Assurance:** If their answers don’t match the results you see, it’s a red flag.

If you’re getting a lot of “YES” answers but aren’t seeing those promises reflected in their work, it might be time to have a back-up plan.

## **What Sets Cleancorp Apart?**

At Cleancorp, we’re not about making empty promises - we deliver results you can see (and smell). Here’s how we approach those same seven questions:

1. **How thorough are we?**  
   Our cleaners follow detailed checklists to ensure no corner is missed. We’re perfectionists, because your office deserves it.
2. **Are we inspected regularly?**  
   Yes! Our quality assurance supervisors conduct regular site visits to make sure every clean meets our high standards.
3. **How quickly do we respond to problems?**  
   ASAP. Communication is key, and we pride ourselves on swift responses to any issue or request.
4. **Do we like feedback?**  
   Absolutely. Feedback helps us grow and ensures we’re delivering exactly what you need.
5. **Are our clients happy?**  
   Don’t take our word for it - ask them! We’re happy to provide references or look at our [testimonials](https://cleancorp.com/testimonials/) from satisfied clients.
6. **Do we have emergency action plans?**  
   Yes, we do. From spills to last-minute deep cleans, our team is ready to jump in when you need us most.
7. **Do we use safe and green products?**  
   We prioritise eco-friendly, non-toxic products to protect your team, our cleaners, and the environment.

## **Why Cleancorp?**

Cleaning isn’t just about tidying up, it’s about creating a safe, welcoming, and productive environment. At Cleancorp, we go above and beyond to ensure your space is spotless, healthy, and inviting.

With us, you get:

- **More Attention:** We notice the details others miss.
- **More Time:** Our cleaners take the time to do the job right, no rushing.
- **More Care:** Your space is treated like it’s our own, with respect and professionalism.

## **Final Thoughts**

Not all cleaning companies are liars - but not all deliver on their promises, either. Asking the right questions is crucial to finding a cleaning partner you can trust. And when you choose Cleancorp, you don’t just get “yes” answers... you get real results that speak for themselves.
