When it comes to maintaining a clean and safe environment, disinfection services are essential, especially in commercial settings. However, understanding the costs associated with these services can be daunting. Let's break down the factors that influence the cost of disinfection services and provide some tips for budgeting effectively.
Factors Influencing Disinfection Costs
Size and Layout of the Premises
The size of your property is a primary factor. Larger spaces require more time, labour, and materials, which increases the cost.
Level of Disinfection Required
The intensity of the cleaning needed can vary. A deep clean for a medical facility, for example, will be more costly than a standard disinfection for an office space. A warehouse that hasn’t been deep cleaned for months will need a certain amount of manual sanitising (deep cleaning) before the disinfection – otherwise we’re just disinfecting the dust and not the surfaces!
Frequency of Clean
Regularly scheduled disinfections may offer cost savings over one-time services due to efficiencies in clean delivery.
Type of Disinfection Needed
Different pathogens may require specific disinfectants or techniques, impacting the overall price.
Location of the Property
The geographic location can affect costs due to travel expenses for the disinfection team.
Additional Services
Services like ventilation hire or UV-C lighting disinfection can add to the cost but provide a more thorough clean.
Budgeting Tips for Disinfection Services
Assess Your Needs
Determine the level of disinfection your property requires and how often it needs to be done. This will help you avoid paying for unnecessary services.
Get Multiple Quotes
Shop around and get quotes from different providers to ensure you're getting a competitive rate. Please remember that the cheapest company is definitely not the best company. Ask the cleaning company questions on disinfection procedures, types of disinfectants used, previous sites that they’ve sanitised and they’re health and safety procedures – if something doesn’t feel right, then move on to the next company.
Plan for the Long Term
Consider the long-term benefits of regular disinfection services, which can prevent costly outbreaks and closures.
Discuss Scope and Expectations
Clearly communicate with your service provider about what is included in the service to avoid unexpected charges.
Prioritise High-Touch Areas
Focus on disinfecting high-touch areas that are more likely to contain pathogens, this can be a more cost-effective strategy.
