Why it matters
A cleaning crew works in your office at night. They work near your gear and papers. Insurance guards you if things go wrong. Cheap uninsured crews are a risk.
Bonded: protection against theft
A surety bond is a money-back promise. If a cleaner steals from you, the bond pays you back. It does not stop theft. Good hiring stops theft. The bond means you do not eat the loss.
Insured: two policies that matter
General liability pays for harm the crew causes. A tipped screen. A scraped floor. Workers comp pays if a cleaner gets hurt at your site. Without these, you carry the risk.
Both should be current. Ask for the certificates. Check the dates.
What to ask any cleaning company
Ask to see their papers. Are cleaners staff or subs? What if they break something? Good firms answer fast and clear. Slow answers are a bad sign.
Ask any company you hire to show current certificates on the walk-through. Check the dates before you sign. Call (301) 679-9193.
