Why I Stopped Relying on In-House Cleaning
For years, I managed our office cleaning entirely in-house. We had a small team of two housekeeping staff who handled daily duties for our 40-person office in MG Road, Gurgaon. It seemed cost-effective and convenient.
But there was always something off. The office never felt truly clean. There was a persistent odour near the washrooms, visible dust on the light fixtures, and a general dullness to the space that daily mopping and wiping just couldn't fix.
A friend suggested I try AKS Facilities for a one-time deep clean to see the difference. I booked them for a Saturday, half-expecting it to feel like a waste of money.
It was not a waste of money.
The team arrived with professional-grade equipment and got to work immediately. The difference between their process and what our in-house team was capable of was immediately obvious not as a criticism of my housekeeping staff, but simply because deep cleaning requires specialist tools and techniques that go far beyond what a standard mop and bucket can achieve.
They steam-cleaned the upholstery on our chairs, used extraction equipment on the carpets, cleaned inside the false ceiling panels, and disinfected every washroom surface with medical-grade sanitisers. The pantry which I thought was reasonably clean, had areas behind appliances that were genuinely shocking once they moved things.
When the team finished, the office smelled clean. Not perfumed-clean, but genuinely, freshly clean. My team noticed. Clients noticed.
I now schedule quarterly deep cleaning sessions with AKS Facilities alongside our daily in-house housekeeping. The combination works perfectly. Daily maintenance keeps things tidy; quarterly deep cleaning keeps things genuinely hygienic.
If you're in Gurgaon and relying solely on in-house staff for office cleaning, I'd strongly suggest experiencing what a proper professional deep clean feels like. AKS Facilities raised my standards, and I haven't looked back.
