Running a cleaning company means more than showing up with staff and tools. Clients want safe methods, steady results, and proof that the highest standards are followed. That is why we turned to CIMS for the end customer and for our teams.
CIMS gave us a clear system to track our work, train our people, and build trust with every building we clean. It sets the rules for how we manage, hire, and deliver strong service every day.
What is CIMS and Why Does It Matter?
CIMS stands for Cleaning Industry Management Standard. It is a program created by ISSA that sets global rules for cleaning companies. For us, using CIMS was more than just getting a certificate. It showed clients we are serious about high standards in every part of our work.
How CIMS Improved Our Operations
The CIMS process helped us set better systems across all areas of the business:
- Management: stronger planning and follow-through
- Sales: clear goals and better follow-up
- HR and Recruiting: higher standards for hiring
- Quality Control: checks to keep service strong
- Training and Inspections: steady support for our cleaners
Pro Tip: CIMS is not only about passing a test. It makes a company build real systems that keep staff and clients safe.
Why Accountability Matters
CIMS pushed us to measure everything we do. This made it easier to see where we needed to improve. We now track results at each level and can show proof of how well we are serving clients.
Key Takeaway: Accountability protects trust. With CIMS, we do not just say we provide good service. We can show it.
How CIMS Supports Sustainability
CIMS also helped us create better cleaning habits, such as:
- Using less electricity in our work
- Cutting down on harmful chemicals
- Choosing safer products and tools
- Reducing waste at client sites
These steps have made buildings healthier and safer for everyone inside.
