5 Signs Your Cleaner is Slacking

You hired a cleaning service to make your life easier, not to give you more things to manage. Yet, many facility managers find themselves constantly double-checking the cleaners' work.

If you notice these 5 red flags, it might be time to look for a new partner.

1. The "Round" Corners

Look at the corners of your floors or the carpet edges. Are they dusty? Lazy cleaners often use a round motion with mops and vacuums, missing the corners entirely. Over time, this builds up a visible layer of grime.

2. The "Phantom" Dust

Check the tops of picture frames, high shelves, or the top of the refrigerator. If you can write your name in the dust, your cleaners are likely only cleaning what is at eye level.

3. Trash Bin neglect

There is nothing worse than coming into the office on Monday morning to find Friday’s trash still in the bin. This is a basic requirement, and missing it is a sign of poor supervision.

4. Supply Shortages

Are you constantly running out of paper towels or hand soap? A professional commercial cleaning service should monitor your supplies and alert you before you run out, or restock them automatically if that’s part of your contract.

5. You Can't Reach Them

When you have a complaint, do you get a voicemail? Or worse, do you talk to someone but nothing changes the next day? A lack of communication is the #1 reason businesses switch cleaning providers.
