    Great value! Thanks for doing the works. Just want to add something that is also something you need when starting a commercial cleaning business. More often than not, you will form a team to clean establishments. So you should also add background checking applicants in your checklist. It takes a lot of effort, trust, and work before you can convince someone to let you walk into their office or home unsupervised, so make sure to be a trustworthy business to keep long lasting relationships with your clients.

    Use the bowl cleaners that contain 23-26 percent hydrochloric acid when you need to remove mineral deposits or urine stains from a urinal.

      @thejanitorialstore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks for sharing Scott.
      A best practice is to start with a lower percent acid to remove deposits and move up from there. 23-26% acid is a strong acid and needs to be used with caution.
      In some cases you need that strong of acid to remove the deposits but make sure it does not come in contact with any surfaces because it will damage them.

      @@thejanitorialstore You're right. Any strong acid or alkali needs to be treated with great respect. They can cause a lot of damage to surfaces that they are not intended for. Of course, they can also burn your skin or blind you if you get splashed and you're not wearing PPE, as you should do.

    Okay all paperwork filed, insurance and equipment acquired, staff hired. Now, how does one go from having no business clients to getting the first one? How do you make the business trust you enough to hire you even though you have never had a client before?

      Tell everyone you know about your cleaning business, ask if they know anyone who could use your services.
      Join a networking group to build relationships with other business owners.
      Create a flyer and a business card to give to prospects.
      You might do some free cleaning for a nonprofit and use them as a reference.

      @@kyngpapi You could have some clients that will have equipment and supplies. They are only looking for labor. But that is not the norm. The issue with using clients equipment and supplies is who will maintain it? With supplies you will have different chemicals you will need to train your employees on. Try to keep things standardized at all accounts.
      With equipment when something breaks down who will repair it? When you don't have control of the equipment you could be sitting without what you need because they don't put high priority on the repair leaving you to figure out how to get the job done without it.
