Commercial Cleaning

Your Business In Our Qualified Hands

Commercial losses vary in complexity and size; but regardless, all have the same need for immediate recovery and return to pre-loss condition.  Minimizing "Business Interruption" must be the mantra of all serious commercial restoration professionals.  With ServiceMaster Clean we continue to maintain this standard of service as a necessity to our industry.  Drawing from over 50 years of experience and leadership, ServiceMaster Clean is a highly trained, well qualified machine in the disaster restoration industry.

The commercial or "Large Loss Restoration Industry" is made up of a very small network of individuals.  They all seek the same customer relationships and are differentiated by response capabilities, project management skills, invoicing integrity, effective communications and their ability to provide a "single source solution" to the customer.  The characteristics that help us to rise above our competition in commercial response are largely due to our individual qualifications distinguishing the standard of service we provide to our customers.

Our certifications include the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) which helps monitor our educational training standards and keeps us up to date on industry changes. A.M.S.A. the (American Moving and Storage Association) as well as the R.A.M. program aka Regional Account Manager.  The R.A.M. program is how we serve our clients throughout Washington State by coordinating with other qualified ServiceMaster franchises in the area and pooling our resources to serve our clients better.

No job too small or too large for ServiceMaster Clean

1. You should wait as long as possible before cleaning your carpet. NO.
   1. Dirt is an abrasive like sandpaper. Each step grinds dirt into the carpet fibers.
   2. The longer you wait to have your carpets cleaned, the faster it wears out.
      
      
2. The only reason to clean carpets is to remove dirt. NO!
   1. Outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and hundreds of other chemicals.
   2. When you come into your home, all those substances wind up in your carpet.
      
      
3. One method of carpet cleaning will do the job. NO!
   1. At ServiceMaster, we help you choose the method that best fit your carpet's needs
   2. The most effective way to clean carpeting includes hot water rinse extraction. It's the most powerful cleaning method that rids your carpet of dirt, harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens and tobacco residue.
      
      
4. Having the right equipment and method is all a company needs to clean your carpets properly. NO!
   1. Many companies own hot water cleaning machines, but their employees may not know how to correctly use them
   2. The best carpet cleaning companies employ certified carpet technicians.
      
      
5. The company that offers the lowest price is the company you should have. MAYBE, BUT NOT ALWAYS
   1. The price you see advertised may not be the price you pay.
      
      
6. Any honest carpet cleaning company should be able to give you an exact price quote over the telephone. WE WISH THIS WERE TRUE BUT IT ISN'T Factors in determining the price quote include:
   1. The type of carpet. Certain types of carpet are harder to clean then others.
   2. The amount of soiling. Carpet that hasn't been cleaned for ten years will take longer to clean than carpet cleaned six months ago.
   3. The amount of furniture that has to be moved. If we have to move your furniture, the bid might include an additional labor charge.
   4. The number of stairs to be cleaned.
