Churches and other houses of worship are each very different in their commercial cleaning needs. You might say that there are as many different church cleaning schedules as there are churches. There are many good reasons for having unique church cleaning requirements, not the least of which are the unique schedules that different churches have, and the vastly different uses of each church facility. Additionally, many churches choose to use congregation members for doing part of their cleaning, which is totally understandable; we can coordinate our services with those provided by your volunteers.

Every religious facility faces the very same church cleaning concerns of other business and schools. Having a clean church facility is important for a number of reasons. First, every member of the congregation wants to attend, and be able to bring their friends to a clean church, one that has bright shiny floors looks clean, and has a fresh smelling atmosphere. Second, having clean and properly sanitized (with Anti-Viral Solutions) and fresh smelling restrooms is important to everyone. In today’s world, the public expects to find fresh completely cleaned restrooms from all facilities that they visit, and churches are no different.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, churches are usually attended by many children, as well as the elderly, which means that the proper sanitizing (with an anti-viral solution) of commonly touched surfaces is not just a convenience, it’s a matter of minimizing the possibility of the spread of any contagious diseases including the Coronavirus. In many cases, churches also operate schools, and daycare facilities on their premises, making high-quality church cleaning even that much more important.

And, just as with both schools and daycare facilities, church budgets are not notoriously over funded for providing church janitorial services. And, all too often church boards, and/or administrators, decide that the best way to approach their cleaning issues is to create a wish list of wanted services, and then put that “out for bid” in hope that everything can be done for a price within their budget. Because janitorial work is highly labor intensive, including church cleaning, it’s often not possible to achieve everything that’s “wished for”, for a price that’s “wished for”.

Unfortunately, when a church tries to fit an entire “cleaning wish list” into an arbitrary budget, they usually end up with difficulties, because there’s almost always someone who will say yes to that kind of “unachievable” cleaning proposition. The problem is that the labor-intensive nature of janitorial services makes it so it’s not actually possible to do the entire cleaning “wish list” correctly. When this happens, the church just ends up getting cleaned poorly, which then becomes a problem for everyone. It’s been our experience at SolSource Janitorial that by working open and honestly with individual churches, we can develop a mutually satisfactory customized “priority menu” for their most desired church cleaning needs. This is a much more effective way to achieve the desired results for both the church cleaning and for effectively managing the church’s cleaning budget.

Another important consideration in church cleaning is the choice of the chemicals, and cleaning solutions, used when cleaning. SolSource believes strongly in always using environmentally friendly products, simply because the “Green Cleaning” movement is a positive step toward protecting our environment, which benefits us all.
