4 Commercial Cleaning Trends for 2021

January 28, 2021

Hiring a commercial cleaning company is an investment for today and tomorrow, which means you need to find a team that will meet your needs for the long term. Image One is celebrating ten years of business this month — each year has changed our business drastically. From our disinfecting programs to our green cleaning services, Image One will provide you with an unparalleled experience that makes the most of evolving trends across the market. 

1.Employee Training

One of the most important trends going into 2021 is the need for qualified professionals in the commercial cleaning space. The definition of “qualified” has changed a bit since the surge of COVID-19. Businesses and facility owners will be looking for knowledgeable advisors as well as a team that can follow through on their promises. Image One takes pride in our training and development program for our territory owners and employees. Before we send them off to their grand opening, all Image One franchisees undergo extensive onboarding programs so that they have the best answers for you when you pick up the phone to ask.

2. Software and Tech

Your commercial cleaning supplier shouldn’t be stuck adhering to the stone-age of cleaning expectations. Technology has made it possible for businesses like ours to streamline inefficiencies and offer far more organized systems. Cleaning technology will always be a prevalent topic in our industry, so be confident the team you hire has taken the proper steps to improve their program. 

3. COVID-19

Like we said, each year of the past decade has changed our business and last year was no exception. COVID-19 has shown business owners how crucial it is to offer a complete cleaning program that includes disinfection and sanitization services. Just because 2020 is over doesn’t mean COVID-19 has gone with it. Image One is still offering cleaning for health services that can help businesses stay virus-free for up to a month. 

4. Surge in Jobs 

The expectation heading into 2020 was for the commercial cleaning industry to see an exceptional surge in jobs created. COVID-19 amplified those numbers, which caused a 75% spike in demand for new cleaning hires. It’s exciting for our business to see this type of activity, but vital that your business doesn’t fall victim to the reason for the spike. Staying ahead of health protocol by hiring an all-encompassing cleaning provider can benefit your sales performance by increasing customer confidence as well as the health of your employees. 

5. Green Cleaning Services 

More conversations have circulated around disinfection this year than any prior, but before that, green cleaning services were a top offering in high demand. That’s not to say that green cleaning services have disappeared; at Image One, we implement environmentally friendly solutions whenever possible. In actuality, businesses continue to look for ways to implement these cleaning solutions while still keeping in mind the dangers of viruses like COVID-19. At Image One, we want to help you check off every box!
