🧹How to Vet a Commercial Cleaning Vendor: 7 Red Flags to Watch For

Choosing a commercial cleaning company can make or break your facility’s reputation. A reliable partner keeps your business spotless, safe, and stress-free — but the wrong one can cost you time and money.

1. No Proof of Insurance or Certifications

If a vendor can’t show insurance or training credentials, walk away. 78Clean’s teams are fully insured, bonded, and trained.

2. Inconsistent Communication

Slow replies or unclear contracts lead to frustration. Look for companies that offer digital scheduling and easy contact.

3. No Customization

Every business is different. A one-size-fits-all quote is a red flag.

4. High Turnover

A revolving door of staff leads to inconsistent results. Long-term employees reflect good management and training.

5. Lack of Transparency

Trustworthy vendors share cleaning checklists and before/after photos.

6. Hidden Fees

Surprise add-ons for “special” tasks? Not okay.

7. No Follow-Up or Quality Control

78Clean performs regular inspections to maintain accountability and satisfaction.

✅ Bottom line: A clean building starts with a clean contract.
