History of Professional Cleaning: How Did It All Start?
"Housekeeping is something you do and no one notices until you don't." — Anonymous.
While commercial cleaning is a little different from household chores, there are also several parallels. For example, you realize its necessity only when the cleaning hasn't been done for a long time, and the longer you put off the cleaning job, the more you realize that it will be more and more difficult to do.
No matter what type of commercial cleaning you need, it's best to choose some professionals rather than just amateurs.
This is especially true for commercial buildings and industrial structures where specialized knowledge and skills are all the more important.
To put things in perspective, if you have a tooth that needed to be extracted, wouldn't you want to go to the dentist rather than tie a string around it and remove it on your own? When there are professionals who can accomplish the task faster and at a lower cost, it's a good idea to use their cleaning expertise on your own.
The history of commercial cleaning companies began five decades ago in 1968 in the small town of Norman, Oklahoma. Jim Cavanaugh, a student at the University of Oklahoma with entrepreneurial instincts, began marketing concierge services to his clients in his community.
He worked cleaning during the night so as not to interfere with his classes during the day.
At first, several people around him scoffed because he believed that companies had their own cleaning crews, which was totally false. At that time, the team leader was responsible for cleaning up his immediate surroundings by employing volunteers from his own team, which was by no means popular and was seen as more of a punishment by the employees.
Little Jim was right, and after only a few years his business had grown to a considerable size and was already employing hundreds of employees.
It's a bit like the owner of Nettoyage experts, when he was younger, he loved to travel and to have more freedom he started cleaning the windows of different businesses. His interpersonal skills made him grow his clientele more and more and by word of mouth, he was forced to grow his business.
Today, Nettoyage Experts is one of the largest residential and commercial cleaning companies in Quebec. This company has received several recognition awards, including Consumer Choice in 2017. One of our many satisfied customers!
