How to Ensure Consistent Cleaning Standards with a Solid Quality Control Plan
When hiring a cleaning service for your business, it’s essential not just to focus on the price and scope of services—but also on maintaining high standards of cleanliness consistently.
A solid quality control plan is key to ensuring that your cleaning service continues to meet expectations over time, rather than allowing standards to slip.
What should you look for in a proposal?
A strong proposal should outline how the cleaning service will monitor and maintain the quality of work. It’s not enough to have a cleaning team that shows up; you need clear assurance that they will adhere to the agreed-upon standards.
Here's what to look for to ensure your cleaning service stays on track:
- A dedicated non-working supervisor who will regularly perform quality checks
- Regular account manager check-ins to monitor progress
- Scheduled review meetings at intervals like 30, 60, and 90 days
A well-structured quality control plan includes
ongoing supervision and communication to make sure the service meets your expectations consistently. Without these checks, even the best cleaning teams can let their performance slide over time.
If quality control isn’t clearly defined in the proposal, there’s a risk that standards may slip without you realizing it. Having a dedicated quality control supervisor, along with regular check-ins and review meetings, will ensure that the service maintains the high standards you expect.
