When it comes to hiring a commercial cleaning company, it’s common to think the main cost is just the labor—someone showing up to clean your space. But in reality, there’s much more happening behind the scenes to make sure that cleaning is done properly, safely, and consistently.
At Northern Star Commercial Cleaning, we believe in transparency. So we’d love to share what really goes into the cost of a professional cleaning service—and why it’s often more than just someone with a mop and broom.
1. Professionalism and Protection
When you hire a licensed and insured cleaning company, you’re not just getting cleaners—you’re getting peace of mind. We carry all the necessary insurance to protect both your property and our team. This includes liability insurance, workers’ compensation, and more, so you’re never left at risk.
2. Trained and Reliable Teams
A great cleaning company invests in its people. That means training, supervision, and support to ensure your space is cleaned the right way, every time. Our team knows how to handle different surfaces, use products safely, and follow protocols tailored to your facility.
3. Supplies and Equipment Included
High-quality cleaning requires the right tools. We provide all the necessary supplies—like disinfectants, microfiber cloths, mops, vacuums, and more. We also maintain our equipment regularly, so we can clean your space efficiently and effectively.
4. Employee Wages and Benefits
A company is only as good as its people. We believe in taking care of our team with fair wages and support, which helps us attract and retain great cleaners. That stability translates to better service for you.
5. Behind-the-Scenes Support
While our cleaners are on the front lines, there’s a full team working in the background—handling scheduling, communication, quality control, billing, and more. This structure ensures we stay organized and responsive to your needs.
6. Transportation and Logistics
Coordinating routes, fuel, and reliable transportation is part of our daily operations. We plan carefully so our team arrives on time and ready to work—no last-minute surprises.
Hiring a cleaning company is about more than just keeping your space tidy. It’s about choosing a professional partner that you can rely on to care for your space as if it were their own.
The price you pay includes trained staff, safe products, dependable systems, and a support team that’s just a phone call away. It includes insurance, experience, and a commitment to doing the job right—even when no one’s watching.
So when you’re comparing cleaning companies, we encourage you to look beyond the price and think about the value, trust, and peace of mind that comes with a professional team behind you.
At Northern Star Commercial Cleaning, we’re here to help you make a great first impression—day after day. And we’re proud to bring more than just a clean space—we bring care, consistency, and partnership.
