Does your commercial cleaning company provide a tailored cleaning schedule for your business?

david • 10 January 2025

A tailored cleaning schedule, based on a detailed site survey and thorough understand of your operations, is essential for effective commercial cleaning and the smooth running of your business. That’s why, at It’s Clean Ltd, our Managing Director visits every site himself to prepare a bespoke quotation and a plan that matches your cleaning needs.

Location, location, location


It’s Clean Ltd focuses on providing high standards of commercial cleaning in a clearly defined area that covers Harrogate, Wetherby, Ripon, Leeds, York and the areas between. By keeping our contract cleaning service local, we can be much more responsive than national firms, which typically cover much larger geographical areas.


How do we work out what you need?


One of the key things we do when we meet a client for the first time is walk round their business with them and really take time to understand their priorities and how they operate.


There are all sorts of things we look at during this first meeting. We want to know what business activities take place as this will determine the specific cleaning requirements they have, particularly in relation to hygiene or equipment maintenance.


We’ll also be looking at opening times, staff and visitor movements and whether there are times of day, week or year when needs might change, for example if there are operational peaks.


The size of building, rooms and communal spaces will inform the scheduling and planning process, particularly as we begin to understand which areas have the highest traffic volumes and where visitors might have access.


What special requirements might there be?


Every client It’s Clean Ltd works with is unique. No two jobs are the same and the needs of each specific customer will depend on all the factors mentioned, plus many more.


Some of the specialist services which clients might need include deep cleaning of catering or medical areas (see our article on professional healthcare cleaning), regular office deep cleans (read our article on why regular workplace deep cleaning is important), carpet cleaning, hygiene cleaning for bathrooms or clinic settings and tailored schedules for certain equipment or machinery.


Keeping everything under review


Once we have agreed your cleaning schedule, we will monitor things to make sure it is working for you. We are known for building strong relationships with clients and good communication. This helps us make any adjustments that might be needed over time, to be certain your professional cleaning schedule is meeting your needs, even as your business evolves.


We have stringent quality control measures in place and experienced supervisors covering each local area who can respond quickly to any needs and monitor standards of work. We also have an excellent training programme for our cleaning teams.


Once again, thanks to our determination to work within a tight geographical area was can maintain high standards and provide a highly flexible and responsive service.


If you are looking for a professional contract cleaning service with a real focus on attention to detail and customer care, contact It’s Clean Ltd for a site survey and quotation on 01423 566785.

David looks back on his 60th birthday volunteering week in Ghana

by david • 1 March 2026
When I hit 60, I didn't want a party. I wanted to do something that would actually matter. So instead of celebrating at home, I flew to Ghana and spent a week volunteering with a charity called Village by Village getting my hands dirty, sitting in open-air classrooms, and meeting some of the warmest, most resilient people I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. This is what I found there, and why I think you should know about it. The Charity Village by Village was founded by an old school friend of mine and has, over the years, evolved into something beautifully self-sustaining: it is now predominantly run by Ghanaians in Ghana. That is not an accident, it is central to the charity's entire philosophy. The approach is simple and powerful. Before a single brick is laid, the charity asks the village what they need, and what they can contribute. There is no imposition, no outside organisation deciding what is best for communities they don't understand. The result is genuine local ownership, stronger outcomes, and projects that endure long after the volunteers have gone home. The work focuses on two areas: education and healthcare. In the remote villages of Ghana that the government's budget cannot reach, Village by Village builds schools and medical centres from the ground up and then keeps them supported. What a Volunteer Week Actually Looks Like I'll be honest: I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a genuinely physical, genuinely meaningful week that I will never forget. Most mornings began on a building site, mixing cement alongside professional local builders, plastering walls, shifting materials. I wore a bright pink polo shirt bearing the logo of my company, It's Clean, which helped fund the trip, and I got absolutely filthy in it. There is something grounding about hard physical labour in service of something real. There were also two young men — just finished their A-levels — who were wrapping up three months of volunteering. In that time they had helped build playgrounds and medical facilities with their own hands. Their energy, their commitment, and what they had achieved at their age was genuinely extraordinary.
