SafePQQ accreditation seal

In the professional commercial cleaning industry, accreditations are very important. They are not just something fancy we can put on our website and company literature, they are visible recognition of our standing in the industry.


It’s Clean have to work to certain hygiene standards in certain industry sectors, such as healthcare and the food industry for example, so we need specific accreditations to allow us to carry out that work. But accreditations also highlight the quality of our work and therefore give us a competitive advantage in comparison to other businesses.


That's why we are
delighted to announce we have received the SafePQQ Accreditation.

Why are accreditations important?

Accreditations can measure the standards of our work, and in some cases you will not be given the chance to tender for certain contracts without having achieved specific accreditations, but they also recognise your standing as an employer, so the SafePQQ accreditation measures how we operate on all levels of our business, and specifically:

  • Finance
  • Environment
  • Quality management
  • Equality
  • Modern slavery
  • Anti-bribery
  • GDPR
  • Right-to-work
  • Building information modelling


We are proud of our reputation as a compassionate and ethical employer and we want that to be reflected in how people see our business. The standards and attitudes we demonstrate towards our own people are mirrored in the work we carry out for others, plus it demonstrates our awareness of current legislation. On top of that, our internal systems for environmental and quality management, and for managing data protection, show how diligent and professional we are, and this can also be seen in the professional standards of our cleaning work.

Our other industry accreditations

The other accreditations we hold are corporate membership of the British Institute of Cleaning Science, member of the Federation of Small Businesses, approved by SafeContractor and recognised as experts by the Cleaning Industry Management Standard, have all been achieved through many years of hard work and dedication.

We have to pass periodical audits and inspections to maintain the certification over subsequent years. This requires commitment at every level of the organisation and certainly requires a ‘buy-in’ from our top level management down to our professional and dedicated commercial cleaning staff.


We are very proud of our newest accreditation, the SafePQQ award, and we feel that this recognises the hard work of internal people within the organisation, but also the fundamental message of the business, which is that we work to the highest standards, we recognise regulatory compliance and we seek to maintain and improve on these standards all day and every day. Perhaps most importantly, we can also bring these standards to your organisation, and help to make your organisation better so that you can also achieve industry accreditations that are relevant to you.


Certainly you can be assured that through regular audits and inspections, the quality of service from It’s Clean will not waver, and that this new accreditation is not just another feather in our cap, it is an indication of the quality of service that will be passed on to you.
