Are Commercial Cleaning Services Insured? Everything You Need to Know

When hiring a commercial cleaning service, one of the most important questions to ask is: are they insured? After all, you’re trusting them with your workplace — a space that represents your business, your people, and your assets.

In this blog, we’ll explore why insurance is essential in the commercial cleaning industry and why Gleam Clean WA, one of Perth’s most trusted cleaning providers, makes it a top priority.

What Does Commercial Cleaning Insurance Cover?

Commercial cleaning insurance provides protection for both the client and the cleaning company. A comprehensive policy generally includes:

• Public liability insurance: Covers accidental damage to property during cleaning.
• Workers’ compensation: Protects against costs if a cleaner is injured on the job.
• Professional indemnity: Offers coverage for claims related to professional errors or negligence.

As Sue Park, Office Manager at Primewest, says:

“We have entrusted Gleam Clean WA to clean our offices for the past ten years. Their professionalism and quality of work have been unmatched. The company has grown without losing their attention to detail or hands-on approach.”

Why Insurance Matters for Commercial Cleaning Services

Hiring uninsured cleaners can expose your business to financial and legal risks. If property is damaged or someone is injured, you could be held liable.

An insured cleaning service, on the other hand, offers peace of mind — ensuring that any unforeseen incidents are properly covered.

David Weaver from CBRE highlights:

“Excellent standard of cleanliness… staff did a great job, which was most meritorious considering the construction and weather conditions.”

“We are very happy with Elcio and his team. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and we receive a fantastic service every day.”

What You Should Ask Before Hiring a Cleaner

When evaluating potential cleaning services, always ask:

• Are you insured for all the services you offer?
• What level of liability coverage do you hold?
• Can you provide proof of insurance?

A reputable company will gladly provide documentation — and Gleam Clean WA is no exception.
