Cleaning Companies - Commercial

Hello from the Greater San Fernando Valley, CA! I would like to take a moment to write about a common question that comes up more often than you might think: What's the difference between a regular home cleaning company, and a cleaning company that is commercial?

At Ability Maintenance Service, we cater to businesses with commercial office cleaning and do not offer home cleaning services. However depending on your cleaning needs, you might be wondering which service to choose. Especially If you're a small business owner with a smaller commercial office, could a home cleaning service get the job done?

Understanding the Basics: Commercial Cleaning Companies

Commercial cleaning companies such as Ability Maintenance Services specialize in providing cleaning services to businesses, organizations, institutions, and even health care providers such as dentists. Their focus is on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in larger and often more complex environments, such as office buildings, warehouses, schools, and medical facilities. Here are some key characteristics of commercial cleaning companies:

Specialized Equipment: Commercial cleaners often use use industrial-grade equipment and cleaning agents designed to tackle the unique challenges of larger spaces. They are usually held to a higher standard of cleanliness and green-chemicals. For example, AMS uses HEPA filters and green cleaning solutions that have less environmental impact than other solutions.

Customizable Services: These companies typically offer customizable cleaning schedules to meet the specific needs of their clients. Whether it's daily, weekly, or monthly cleaning, they can adapt to your business hours, while at-home cleaners usually have a smaller team with a fixed schedule that can get booked up.

Trained Staff: Commercial cleaners are trained to handle various cleaning tasks efficiently and safely. They are experienced in maintaining the cleanliness standards required by different industries. We hold our janitors to the highest standards and don't give out keys unless our employees have proven their trust over and over again. We're licensed, bonded and insured and have been in business for over 37 years.

Compliance and Certification: Many commercial cleaning companies adhere to industry-specific regulations and hold certifications that ensure they provide quality services. At AMS we are a member of the Cleaning Management Institute and won the Best of San Fernando Valley in 2017, and are rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Home Cleaning Companies: Tailored for Residential Needs

On the other hand, home cleaning companies are dedicated to meeting the cleaning needs of individual homes and residential spaces. Here are some defining features of home cleaning services:

Personalized Cleaning: Home cleaners focus on personalized services, ensuring that your home is cleaned according to your specific preferences and requirements.

Residential-Friendly Products: They typically use milder cleaning agents suitable for household surfaces.

One-time cleaning: Home cleaners often pick up cleaning jobs that are a one-time deep clean for the home. While this is always nice to have bit of extra help for a a sparkling clean home, commercial cleaning companies generally offer ongoing services for small businesses rather than one-time cleanings.
