Luckily, there are steps cleaning businesses can take to reduce their exposures. Even the chances of a dreaded slip-and-fall accident can be reduced. Combine these risk-mitigation steps with the proper insurance policies, and you can be confident that your cleaning business is primed for a bright and shiny future.
