WHAT’S NEW

COVID 19 - VARIANTS ON THE RISE AGAIN, HERE’S WHAT TO DO!

Here's how commercial cleaners could potentially make more money with COVID cleaning:

1. Offer Specialized Services:

   • Provide COVID-19-specific cleaning and disinfection services to businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and other high-traffic spaces.

   • Emphasize the use of EPA-approved disinfectants and adherence to CDC guidelines for effective COVID-19 cleaning.

2. Tailor Packages for Clients:

   • Develop custom cleaning packages that cater to the unique needs of different types of businesses. For example, restaurants might require more frequent cleaning and disinfection than office spaces.

3. Flexible Scheduling:

   • Offer flexible cleaning schedules, including after-hours or weekend services, to accommodate businesses' operational needs without disrupting their daily activities.

4. Specialized Equipment and Training:

   • Invest in specialized equipment like electrostatic sprayers and fogging machines for more efficient disinfection. Training your staff in the proper use of this equipment can add value to your services.

5. Premium Pricing:

   • Consider charging premium rates for COVID-19-specific services, reflecting the increased demand, specialized training, and the use of high-quality disinfectants.

6. Long-Term Contracts:

   • Seek long-term contracts with clients who require ongoing COVID-19 cleaning services. Offering discounts for extended commitments can be mutually beneficial.

7. Cross-Sell Other Services:

   • While offering COVID-19 cleaning services, cross-sell other cleaning and maintenance services you provide, such as general cleaning, carpet cleaning, or window cleaning.

8. Certifications and Compliance:

   • Obtain relevant certifications or accreditations to demonstrate your commitment to safety and compliance with industry standards. This can be a selling point for clients looking for reputable COVID cleaning services.

9. Effective Marketing:

   • Promote your COVID-19 cleaning services through targeted marketing and advertising campaigns, both online and offline, to reach potential clients in need.

10. Client Education:

    • Educate clients about the importance of regular COVID-19 cleaning and how your services can contribute to a safer environment for their employees and customers.

11. Continuous Improvement:

    • Stay updated on the latest guidelines and recommendations from health authorities to ensure your COVID-19 cleaning practices are in line with current best practices.

It's important to note that the demand for COVID-19 cleaning services can fluctuate with the evolving situation and local regulations. As the pandemic subsides, the demand for these services may decrease. Thus, it's essential for commercial cleaners to adapt their service offerings to meet changing market demands. Additionally, maintaining a reputation for quality and reliability is key to building long-term relationships with clients and securing repeat business.

#Commercial Cleaning Tips

Tax write-offs can help commercial cleaning businesses reduce their taxable income and save money. It's essential to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure you are eligible for these deductions and to maximize your tax savings. Here are some common tax write-offs for commercial cleaning businesses:

1. Business Expenses:

   • Deduct expenses related to running your cleaning business, such as office supplies, phone bills, and business licenses.

2. Cleaning Supplies and Equipment:

   • Deduct the cost of cleaning supplies (e.g., cleaning chemicals, gloves, mop heads) and equipment (e.g., vacuum cleaners, steam cleaners) used in your business.

3. Vehicle Expenses:

   • If you use a vehicle for business purposes, you can deduct expenses like gas, maintenance, and depreciation. Keep detailed records, and if your vehicle is also used for personal purposes, calculate the percentage used for business.

4. Home Office Deduction:

   • If you have a dedicated home office for your cleaning business, you may be eligible for a home office deduction. This can include a portion of your rent or mortgage, utilities, and insurance.

5. Insurance:

   • Deduct the cost of liability insurance, which is essential for commercial cleaning businesses.

6. Uniforms and Protective Gear:

   • The cost of uniforms and protective gear (e.g., uniforms, gloves, masks) can be deducted as business expenses.

7. Business Meals and Entertainment:

   • You can deduct expenses related to meals and entertainment with clients or business partners, typically up to 50% of the cost.

8. Professional Fees:

   • Deduct fees paid to accountants, tax professionals, or lawyers for their services related to your business.

9. Advertising and Marketing:

   • Expenses for advertising, including online ads, flyers, business cards, and squeaky leads are deductible.

10. Employee Wages and Benefits:

    • Deduct the wages and benefits you pay to your employees, including salaries, health insurance, and retirement contributions.

11. Education and Training:

    • Costs associated with continuing education, training, and certifications for yourself or your employees can be deducted.

12. Travel Expenses:

    • Deduct expenses related to business travel, such as airfare, hotel accommodations, and meals. Keep detailed records and demonstrate that the travel was primarily for business purposes.

13. Depreciation:

    • If you purchase expensive equipment or vehicles, you may be able to depreciate their value over time, spreading the deduction over several years.

14. State and Local Taxes:

    • You can deduct state and local taxes, including sales tax on cleaning supplies or equipment.

15. Interest Expenses:

    • Deduct the interest paid on loans or credit used for your business.

16. Charitable Donations:

    • Deduct any charitable donations made by your business.

17. Retirement Contributions:

    • Contributions to retirement plans, like a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) or a Solo 401(k), are deductible.

It's important to maintain accurate records of your expenses and keep all receipts and documentation to support your deductions. Consider working with a qualified tax professional to ensure you take full advantage of available tax write-offs and comply with tax laws and regulations.
