Cleaning Business Insurance Starts with General Liability (Mandatory in Many Cases)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"943\">This is the first and most important coverage for cleaning companies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"1118\">Why it matters:<br \/>\nIf a client claims you scratched their floors, broke an expensive item, or someone slips because of a wet surface you left behind, this policy can cover:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1191\">\n<li data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1139\">\n<p data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1139\">Property damage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1157\">\n<p data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1157\">Bodily injury<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1191\">\n<p data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1191\">Legal defense and settlements<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1289\">\u2705 It\u2019s often required to sign contracts with homeowners, landlords, or commercial buildings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1289\">\n<h3 data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1379\"><strong>2.
