The high standards of professionalism and health and safety awareness at It’s Clean have been officially recognised, with our organisation being granted the SafeContractor approval for the 11th year running.

As proof that we are an industry-leading professional cleaning company, the SafeContractor approval goes a long way to recognising excellence and a high level of achievement in the contract cleaning industry, so naturally we are delighted to have achieved this status once again, but in truth, we were quietly confident because we know the standards expected and we know that we can achieve them.

How we achieved SafeContractor status

The SafeContractor approval recognises our work in contracting and subcontracting, i.e. how we maintain our high standards through our own employees and in sub-contractors. But also, in terms of the work we do, it covers commercial/industrial cleaning, computer room cleaning, deep cleaning, grounds and car park cleaning, office cleaning and domestic cleaning. So the scope of the approval covers the whole range of services we offer, and as an organisation the approval covers our role as a non-construction contractor, working with chemicals and hazardous substances.

In order to achieve the SafeContractor approval our systems and procedures were independently audited, so the approval team could see our standards in real time and judge us accordingly. We also had to submit documentary evidence of our health and safety procedures. This related to top-level management procedures, but also working procedures relating to health and safety issues, such as emergency responses, vehicles, employee induction, internal policies, materials usage, environmental practices and first aid etc.

We also had to submit evidence of our accident and ill-health record, as this is a good reflection of how we work and how we look after our employees. We had to submit evidence of our internal training procedures, how we control and manage our contractors and all our documented risk assessments relating to the cleaning materials we use and all our different cleaning practices.

How we pass on these high standards to you

It is fair to say that the SafeContractor approval covers every element of our business, and the achievement is a comprehensive study of our organisation, leaving no stone unturned, so we are particularly proud to achieve the SafeContractor approval, and even after 11 successful years, we do not take the approval for granted. We are well aware that the standards are very high in our industry, and that the approval is not awarded lightly. We are certainly aware of the hard work required to achieve the approval, so it acts as an annual recognition that we are working to high standards and routinely maintaining them.

You will see evidence of our SafeContractor approval status in the work we do for you, all carried out with your cleanliness standards and the health and safety of your employees in mind. But you will also see the SafeContractor recognition on our literature, our vehicles and on our social media. But ultimately, this award is as much for you as it is for us, because now you can be assured that the quality and high standards of our contract cleaning will be passed on to you.

How to Choose a Commercial Cleaning Company in Harrogate

20 January 2026

Choosing the right cleaning company in Harrogate is an important decision for any business. A reliable commercial cleaning partner doesn’t just keep your premises looking presentable — they help protect staff wellbeing, support compliance, and ensure your workplace operates smoothly day after day. With many cleaning providers available, knowing what to look for can help you choose a company that delivers consistent quality, responsive service, and real value. Look for a Local, Responsive Cleaning Company One of the most important factors when choosing a commercial cleaning company is local presence. A locally focused cleaning provider can respond quickly to issues, adapt to changing requirements, and build long-term relationships with clients. At It’s Clean, we focus on a 50-mile radius, providing local contract cleaning in Harrogate, Wetherby, Ripon, Knaresborough, Leeds, York, and surrounding areas. By keeping our operations local, we can guarantee a highly responsive service and regular on-site supervision — something national providers often struggle to offer. Choose a Company That Tailors Services to You Every business is different. A professional cleaning company should offer flexible cleaning schedules that fit around your operations rather than forcing you into a standard package. Look for a provider that offers: Daily, weekly or monthly contract cleans Bespoke cleaning plans tailored to your premises Flexible scheduling to minimise disruption Clear communication and regular reviews At It’s Clean, all cleaning contracts are tailored to meet your specific requirements, ensuring you receive exactly the level of service your business needs. Check the Range of Commercial Cleaning Services Offered A trusted cleaning company in Harrogate should be able to support your business as it grows or changes. Choosing a provider with a wide service offering means fewer suppliers to manage and consistent standards across your site. Our comprehensive range of commercial cleaning services includes: Commercial office cleaning Contract cleaning Specialist Coronavirus cleaning Washroom services Carpet cleaning Window cleaning Communal area cleaning Janitorial supplies Deep cleaning Soft washing and exterior cleaning This breadth of service allows us to support a wide variety of commercial environments under one trusted contract. Ask About Staff Recruitment, Training and Supervision High-quality cleaning starts with the people delivering it. A professional cleaning company should invest in recruiting, training and supporting their teams. At It’s Clean: All cleaners are recruited locally Staff are fully trained for their specific cleaning contracts Teams are carefully matched to each site Every contract is overseen by a regional cleaning supervisor This structure ensures consistency, accountability and reliable standards — something that makes a noticeable difference over time.

It’s Clean has been operating since 1999 and works with clients across a wide range of industries, including: Commercial offices Building sites Care homes Dental practices and GP surgeries Event and exhibition venues Housing associations and landlords Retail shops and showrooms Schools, colleges and universities Factories and warehouses This depth of experience allows us to understand different environments, compliance requirements and operational challenges. Look for a Customer-Focused, Independent Company An independent, privately owned cleaning company is often better placed to offer a personal, customer-focused service. Decisions are made locally, relationships matter, and service quality is never secondary to scale. At It’s Clean, customer satisfaction is central to everything we do. We work closely with clients to ensure cleaning standards remain high, communication is clear, and services continue to meet expectations as needs evolve.
