Should we clean ourselves or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the last big family gathering at our restaurant space in downtown Dubai, the place was a mess. I’ve considered hiring professional cleaners but am worried about the costs. Given our budget constraints, should we hire professionals or handle it ourselves? Any advice on cleaning costs and methods would be greatly appreciated.

Cleaning ourselves might seem like the more economical choice especially given our budget constraints. Yet, before jumping into it, there are several factors to consider, including the quality of cleaning required and adherence to local regulations.

In dubai, restaurants must maintain a high standard of cleanliness to comply with the health & safety standards set by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). Regular deep cleans and routine maintenance can ensure that your establishment meets these requirements. However, for a thorough clean following a family gathering, hiring professionals could be beneficial despite costs. They have access to specialized equipment and cleaning solutions which might not be available in our regular supplies.

Moreover, professional cleaners are experienced in handling various types of dirt and grime, ensuring every corner is spotless. This can help maintain the aesthetics and hygiene of your restaurant space, which is crucial for customer satisfaction and business reputation. In dubai, such services also come with warranties, assuring that any missed spots will be attended to.

On a practical note, it’s worth considering the time factor. Professionals can complete the task much faster than if we were to do it ourselves. This could free up our staff to focus on other important tasks like customer service or menu preparation.

In terms of costs, while hiring professionals might seem expensive upfront, the long-term benefits in terms of hygiene and customer experience often outweigh these expenses. Moreover, there are companies offering flexible pricing options such as monthly contracts which can spread out the cost over time making it more manageable.

For a thorough assessment and cleaning plan tailored to your restaurant, you could consider reaching out to companies like Saniservice who offer professional environmental inspection and remediation services. They can provide an accurate quote based on your needs and ensure that all areas are properly cleaned and disinfected as per the DHA guidelines.

If after careful consideration we decide to go with in-house cleaning, we should still plan a schedule for deep cleans at regular intervals, perhaps every two weeks or so, to maintain cleanliness. Also, investing in some high-quality cleaning supplies can help us achieve better results without having to rely solely on professional services.

In conclusion, while it may be tempting to handle everything ourselves, the benefits of professional cleaning could lead to a more hygienic and inviting environment for our customers. If we do choose this path, remember that regular maintenance is key.
