What Lincoln Business Owners Get Wrong About Commercial Cleaning
Lincoln is home to many hardworking business owners who take pride in running lean and efficient operations. But when it comes to cleaning, many are still operating on outdated assumptions, and it's costing them.
From office managers in North Hykeham to directors in the city centre, we've seen it all: DIY cleaning rosters, the cheapest contractor wins, and assuming a spray bottle and cloth equals "good enough."
The truth? Commercial cleaning is a professional service, and when it's done right, it makes your team more productive, your premises more impressive, and your reputation stronger.
Misconception 1: "Our Staff Can Just Handle It Themselves"
On paper, assigning desk wipes and toilet duty to your team seems economical. In practice, it leads to:
- Missed tasks
- Frustrated employees
- A growing hygiene problem that no one wants to raise
You didn't hire them to mop floors. And morale takes a hit when they're asked to.
Misconception 2: "We Just Need the Cheapest Cleaner"
Low bids often mean:
- No training
- No DBS checks
- No consistency
It only takes one complaint from a client, one health & safety issue, or one missed clean to realise that cheap isn't always cost-effective.
Misconception 3: "All Cleaners Are the Same"
Our Lincoln-based team isn't just "a cleaner." We're trained professionals who:
- Work around your schedule with minimal disruption
