insurance for cleaning business
The most important insurance for a cleaning business is the public liability insurance.
The main considerations for Cleaning Business Insurance are in relation to public liability risk and you will find that most insurers are pretty hesitant in offering cover to cleaning businesses who work during business hours in high risk & high traffic areas – most particularly public places like shopping centres etc. See example below of an exclusion on a policy.

This is because among the members of general public, there are people of all sorts of abilities and awareness who may not notice a wet floor for example and slip and hurt themselves.
Even for office cleaners insurance, the insurers really want cleaners to be working after hours as there have been examples of people tripping over vaccum cleaner cables etc. leading to injury claims.
So having your insurance set up correctly is a pretty important thing to do.

Cleaning Insurance Reviews
See what our customers are saying…
I have been extremely impressed with the service we have received using CoverTradie.
We recently had an unfortunate break in at a property my business styled for sale. Our previous experience with insurance brokers had been terrible and took 6 months to get a simple claim approved for us. This was not the case with CoverTradie.
The claim was approved in a day, the process was extremely simple and efficient and the customer service was exemplary. It was such a relief to have such an easy process and we were so pleased we had changed to CoverTradie to be our insurance broker.
Due to this excellent service, I have also engaged CoverTradie to do the insurance on my personal property and contents insurance, as well as the contents insurance for my business and car insurance for my business.
I could not recommend their services more. They provide a smooth, stress free and highly efficient service that puts me as a business owner (and home owner) at complete ease.
We are very happy with the service and professionalism of Cover Tradie.
We know that our business insurance needs have been taken care of and that we are in good hands with the policy that has been selected for us.
We whole heartedly recommend any trades businesses out there looking for insurance to go with Cover Tradie.
CoverTradie was great at ensuring our plumbing business gets the right cover! They were responsive and gave us all of our options! Super reliable and easy to work with!
