Build trust at every property your team enters.

Cleaning businesses work inside customer homes, offices, and facilities, often with crews, products, vehicles, and access procedures. Discuss commercial insurance around the services your team actually performs.

General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers’ Compensation, and Commercial Property are among the topics an agency can review with you. Residential cleaning, commercial janitorial contracts, floor care, and specialty work may involve different equipment and customer responsibilities.

Describe how crews access client locations, handle property and supplies, and document completed work. Policy terms and eligibility depend on the services, contracts, workforce, and insurer review.

Questions worth asking

Useful points to discuss before choosing a policy.

Which details matter for a cleaning business insurance review?

Explain the locations you clean, the services and products used, crew size, vehicle use, access procedures, and customer contracts.

Does a cleaning policy cover damage to every customer property?

Do not assume it does. Ask an agent to review custody, care, control, exclusions, service scope, and the policy language that applies.
