The fundamental paradox of modern business is simple: you don’t want to pay any more than you have to for anything, because every dollar that goes out affects your bottom line — but if you pay too little today, you’ll get a crap product or service, and you’ll end up paying even more a few months later as everything falls apart due to low quality. This is true of physical assets (try buying a $149 office printer/copier sometime!), but it’s just as true of services as well. In particular, one Hollywood commercial cleaning client (which shall not be named for privacy purposes) recently learned this lesson in detail.
“If something seems too good to be true, buy it before someone else discovers it!” — That was the motto that [REDACTED]’s Chief Operations Manager, Lucy [REDACTED], seemed to swear by. So when Lucy discovered that there was a commercial cleaner serving the Hollywood area that would clean her company’s entire storeroom, office suite, and storage area for 27% less than MegaJanitorial, she decided to switch.
The problem is that every janitorial service has some hard costs that can’t be circumvented — and if they try, they’re going to have to cut corners somewhere to maintain their profit margin. They might be hiring illegal workers, skipping crucial cleaning tasks, or (as [REDACTED] was caught doing!) cleaning with materials so heavily diluted they could have been called ‘homeopathic cleansers.’ Sorry, Lucy, but water doesn’t kill germs!
(Don’t worry, it only took her a single month to switch back.)
The simple fact is that if a Hollywood commercial cleaning service seems significantly less expensive than their peers, it’s for a good reason — that reason being that they aren’t good at their job. Don’t be like Lucy Redacted. Hire a commercial cleaning service that will do it right.
If you’re not sure where to find one of those, we have what we’re pretty sure is a rock-solid suggestion for you. It’s called MegaJanitorial, and we know they’re good, because we clean their building, their cleaning equipment, and everything else they touch every single day.
