Stiff competition. The first challenge that most cleaning firms face in the field today is stiff competition. There are many cleaning firms in the field offering similar services, and this is the may reason why the competition is stiff. In the past, there used to be few companies operating in the field, this used not be a problem to the service providers for they few enjoyed monopoly. During this time, it was the clients that suffered for they had no option but to hire the few cleaning firms that were available. But today, the ere many cleaning firms all over the market, the clients have many service providers to choose from, on the other hand, companies are competing for the few customers available. The only way to curb this stiff competition is integrate modern technology in your cleaning firm, practice better customer care services, and charge fair and reasonable service fee.

Unfair government policies. The government of the day also make cleaning firms face some challenges when they pass some policies that are unfair. The state authorities can decide to raise tax for the cleaning firms operating in its state. If the tax goes up the cleaning firms will suffer, for they will have to pay more to the government and remain with little profit. the government also do regulate their pricing and service fee quotation, this means that they cannot charge service fee that the state authorities does not recommend. Therefore, the cleaning firms find it difficult to balance paying the tax, and how to charge the clients fairly so as to make profit, and this affects them so much. The solution to this is when cleaning firms form a union and their elected leaders address their challenges to the government directly.
The over changing technology. This is another challenge that most cleaning firms in the field. most client prefer cleaning firms that employ the use of new technology. But technology changes fast in the field, therefore, cleaning firms are finding it difficult to keep changing with technology. New technology that comes in the market is expensive and challenging to learn, so keeping with the current technology to please the clients is a challenge.
