## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version up front: office cleaning is a **local labor business wearing national branding**. Most of the big names are franchise networks - the parent company sells you the brand and the contract, but an independently owned local franchisee hires the person who actually empties your bins. So the name on the invoice predicts quality much less than who staffs your building. Here's who I'd actually call, in order, depending on your size.
> 
> ## If you have one office under ~25,000 sq ft
> 
> **1. A local/regional contractor with ISSA CIMS certification** - genuinely my first call, before any national brand. CIMS audits the whole organization: documented procedures, training, inspections, corrective action, staffing plans. It's the one credential in this industry that means something, and a good regional operator with 30-100 employees will beat a franchise on responsiveness every time. Search "CIMS certified" plus your metro. Caveat: it's a management-systems audit, not a guarantee of nightly quality, so don't treat it as the only filter.
