What Makes A Good Commercial Clean?
We offer advice for ensuring a good commercial clean of your premises
Commercial organisations can differ wildly in terms of the nature of their business – it could be an
office, a
shop, a gym, a factory or a bar or restaurant. But one thing they all have in common is standards, particularly where cleaning is concerned. Some commercial organisations will have specific standards they have to adhere to in certain areas, such as laboratories or server rooms, or where areas are customer-facing, or there may be standards you need to maintain to comply with industry regulations, such as in kitchens.
Whatever the nature of your commercial organisation, there are common things you want to see in a commercial cleaning company and in a good commercial clean:
Reliability
A good commercial clean is something you need to come to expect from your cleaning provider. You need them to be on time, regular and work to a consistently high standard. You don’t want to be chasing your cleaning company every five minutes or asking for certain jobs to be re-done. After all, you have employed a commercial cleaning company because you want your own resources to be dedicated to their specialist tasks, and so you can forget about cleaning and worry about something else. That’s why a commercial clean needs to be effective and consistent.
In addition to reliability you need a company that will be able to react fast and deal with any emergency situations such as flooding or something out of the ordinary. Our reliability across
Harrogate,
Leeds,
York, and across much of North and West Yorkshire ensures we are able to react responsively to any situations such as this.
Quality Audits
A good cleaning company will perform quality audits, which is something we always do for our clients. When we put a specific schedule in place we will come out and complete an audit to ensure everything is as it should be, giving you extra peace of mind.
Equipment
When you choose It’s Clean for your commercial cleaning, we only need water, power and a safe environment to work in in order to complete our cleaning tasks. We don’t need you to supply anything else and that’s because we bring all our own equipment to ensure everything is taken care of.
Safety Standards
Any professional commercial cleaning company will employ good safety standards and exercise a good knowledge of safe working practices. This includes training of cleaning personnel, the use of materials on-site and an understanding of limitations and what cleaning personnel are expected to undertake. Communication is key to this and a good commercial cleaning company will ensure their staff know to ask questions and ensure expectations and safety standards and practices are understood.
At It’s Clean, all our staff are industry trained, uniformed and police checked for reassurance.
Minimal Disruption
A good commercial clean is one that causes minimal disruption to the organisation’s normal operations, so the cleaning company you choose needs to have an appreciation of what the organisation does and what critical operations they are likely to impact upon.
A cleaning schedule should be agreed which will reflect the level of cleaning provided by your cleaning company. This allows for peace of mind that your premises will be cleaned as per the agreement.
Organisation
A good commercial cleaning company will appoint a management contact who can liaise on all matters, is contactable at all times and who can react quickly to matters that may arise.
Specialist One-Off Requirements
These can involve shutdown deep cleans where you get access to machines or areas that you wouldn’t normally, or they may involve external cleaning work, such as graffiti removal. A good commercial cleaning company will recognise the ad hoc nature of these tasks but still apply the same quality, attention and standards.
At all times, a commercial cleaning company will have the customer’s requirements foremost in their thoughts, so in different areas you will know what standard, equipment and materials are required and how often. And ultimately, a good commercial clean is one that the organisation doesn’t have to worry about.
