Janitorial Services: Benefits of Hiring Professionals

As a business owner, you know how time consuming and frustrating it can be to have your employees handle janitorial needs. When it comes to janitorial services, Maple Grove business owners are increasingly choosing to outsource this function to professionals who can get the job done properly. But why make this investment? Here are a few key benefits to hiring a professional janitorial service:

Professionals know what they’re doing
Everybody likes to try new things, but there are some things that are best left to the professionals, especially when it comes to your business. Janitorial service is one of those items. Your employees are most likely not familiar with everything involved in proper office cleaning techniques to remove items like stains in carpeting. Our expertise can identify the kind of stain, and remove it without damaging any carpeting.

More cost friendly
The biggest reason Maple Grove businesses, especially smaller options, prefer to outsource their janitorial service needs to a professional is that it’s often more friendly to the company’s bottom line. Many businesses don’t have the need to have a full-time cleaning staff on their payroll. Luckily, many janitorial services companies can provide you with a weekly or nightly cleaning contract.

Plus, not having these employees on your payroll means you won’t be responsible for salaries, taxes, legal obligations, benefits and other items that come with hiring workers.


All Source Building Services & Supply Company helps Maple Grove businesses with their janitorial service needs. Call us now at 952-473-3228 or Click Here to Request a Free Estimate.

Choosing the Right Office Cleaning Company


Selecting the right Minneapolis office cleaning company isn’t just a matter of opening the phone book or calling the first company you find online. As one article noted:
These days, there's a lot of licensed office cleaning company that will be thankful to come in and clean up your small business, so you have an overabundance of time for the stuff that matter in everyday living.
What should you do? Put together a list and narrow it down to a few candidates. Ask them whether they use their own supplies or if you’ll need to provide them. Will there need to be somebody in the office at all times while the cleaning is being done? Will they provide liability cover for personnel?

Choosing an office cleaning company based on reputation

Ultimately, what we hear about someone or something will inform our opinion about he, she, it or them. This is especially true when talking about businesses. Reputation is everything in the business world, and those with bad reputations are more than likely not getting the amount of business that they want. This extends to Minneapolis office cleaning companies, and as noted in one recent article:
Perhaps one of the best things about hiring a professional office cleaning service is that you no longer have to be concerned about ordering, stocking and installing products, such as paper towels, trash bag liners and even cleaning products.
Which is very true, since you need to stay focused on your operation. However, you also need to make sure that whoever you hire as your office cleaning company doesn't take advantage of you and does exactly what you expect of them. If you don't, you might have a lot of cleanup to take care of.

Odors in the Office Fridge


It happens from time to time. Someone in the office forgets about their leftovers for way too long and, before you know it, there's a wicked smell coming from the office refrigerator. So how can you get rid of the unwanted odors and get back to opening the fridge door without fear? Here are a few tips.


First, try some baking soda. Leave a box in the refrigerator for a few days to capture the odors bouncing around inside. If that's not doing the trick, you might have to move on to heavier artillery, like...

...a full cleaning. Remove everything from the fridge and clean the inside with a general purpose cleaner. Take a sniff after a few days to see if the smell is gone. If not, there's one last major step you can take.

Completely remove everything from the fridge, with the intent of keeping it out for approximately seven to ten days. Lightly spray water onto crumpled up newspaper, and fill the refrigerator up with these balls entirely. Close the door. Each day, replace the newspaper with brand-new newspaper that has been crumpled up and misted with water. After a week of this, your odors should be gone from the fridge.

Why Outsource Your Janitorial Service?

While some companies choose to do their own janitorial hiring, many decide instead to outsource that work to a firm with an expertise in that field. You may be wondering, What is the benefit to outsourcing our janitorial needs? There are several!

  • Cost. Hiring a company like All Source to handle janitorial duties in your building or office can be much more cost effective than having extra employees on your books.
  • Other specialties. Employees you hire to perform janitorial work may not be skilled in other areas, too. All Source, for instance, provides a number of different services in addition to office cleaning, such as plumbing repair, electrical service, power washing, painting, and more.
  • Clean work environment. You'll enjoy a clean office that creates a good, positive impression on those who work for you and those who stop in for business. Germs will also be cleaned up more frequently, which means employee-spread illnesses should decline.

All Source's Unique Experience


Other cleaning companies can talk about having years of experience, but not many companies can boast the type of experience All Source owner Dan Shanesy has.


Before starting All Source, Shanesy actually spent 17 years as a commercial property manager. Before he started a company that cleans and provides other services to office buildings, he was in charge of hiring those companies. This experience has afforded Shanesy the ability to view the provider-client relationship from both sides.

When it comes time to select an office services company for your business, go with a company that knows what your company wants, and where other providers fall short.
