It’s Clean Ltd clears the way for hat-trick of double digit growth


 

It’s Clean Ltd is forecasting double digit growth for the third year running as we mark a quarter of a century in business as the region's leading contract cleaning specialist.


We have expanded our management team and moved to larger premises on Harrogate’s Hornbeam Park in the past 12 months to accommodate growth, promoting from within when recruiting for the role of general manager 2 years ago and recently creating two new operation manager roles and an administrator post.


Our field management and supervisor team has grown by 40% over the past two years, supporting commercial clients throughout North and West Yorkshire.


Managing Director David Whan said he expected 2024 to see the same level of growth as 2022 and 2023 after securing new multi-year office cleaning contracts with two of Harrogate’s biggest businesses, including Harrogate Spring Water.  


David said: “Some services are much better from local providers and contract cleaning is one of them, which is why we have focused our growth on a limited geographical area and developing a well-supported and highly trained regional team of cleaning staff and managers.”


It’s Clean provides incentivised online training and salaries that are above minimum wage, with 26% of staff on the real living wage and a commitment to increase this by 20% each year.


David added: ““We have overcome the recruitment challenges many operators face in our line of work by offering fair levels of pay and working hard to generate a sense of pride in being part of one of the most established and best known cleaning firms in the region.


“As we look ahead, one of our objectives is to build on our ISO90001 accreditation and net zero stage 1 and 2 accreditation as we work towards achieving stage 3 by 2025/6.”

Manufacturing environments present unique challenges when it comes to keeping offices clean, hygienic and professional. Workplaces often sit alongside production areas, warehouses and busy operational facilities, where dust, debris, machinery and the movement of staff can all influence cleaning requirements. At It’s Clean Ltd we understand that effective manufacturing office cleaning requires an understanding of the working environment and a tailored approach that supports the day-to-day needs of each business. Why Manufacturing Environments Require a Different Approach Manufacturing facilities might include administrative offices, production floors, storage areas, staff facilities and meeting spaces, each with its own cleaning requirements. Offices located within or alongside industrial premises can be particularly challenging. Dust and dirt may be carried in from production areas, while high footfall and shared facilities can lead to a greater build-up of everyday grime. This means that a standard office cleaning schedule may not be sufficient. Manufacturing office cleaning needs to reflect how the building is used and the areas that require the most attention. Key considerations for manufacturing office cleaning include: Dust and debris: Manufacturing activity can introduce additional dust and dirt into nearby office spaces, requiring appropriate cleaning methods and regular attention to surfaces. High-traffic areas: Entrances, corridors, stairwells and shared walkways can accumulate dirt quickly, particularly where staff move frequently between offices and operational areas. Shared staff facilities: Kitchens, break rooms, toilets and changing areas need consistent cleaning to support good hygiene and employee wellbeing. Operational requirements: Cleaning schedules must work around shift patterns, staff movements and site access arrangements to minimise disruption. Health and safety: Cleaning methods, equipment and products must be appropriate for the environment, with clear procedures for managing hazards and preventing risks to staff. Understanding these factors is an important part of delivering reliable industrial office cleaning. The Value of Experience in Industrial Office Cleaning Experienced commercial cleaning teams will understand the importance of working safely around busy environments, following site access procedures and communicating clearly with your staff. They’ll recognise that different areas of a site have different priorities and that the way a building operates should inform its cleaning schedule. For example, an administrative office located close to a production floor may require more frequent attention to floors, desks and high-contact surfaces than an office in a standalone commercial building. A staff kitchen used across several shifts may also need a different cleaning frequency from a meeting room used occasionally throughout the day. An experienced cleaning provider can assess these requirements and develop a schedule that reflects how the site actually operates, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. At It’s Clean Ltd, we recognise that every workplace has its own needs. Our approach to commercial cleaning for manufacturers focuses on understanding those needs and providing a service that fits around the business. Keeping Offices and Staff Facilities Clean Clean offices contribute to a professional working environment and help support the comfort and wellbeing of employees. Desks, workstations, door handles, light switches and other frequently touched surfaces can all benefit from regular cleaning. Kitchens and break rooms require attention to worktops, tables, sinks and other shared surfaces, while toilets and washrooms need an appropriate cleaning routine to maintain hygiene. Floors also deserve particular attention. Dirt brought in from external areas or production environments can quickly spread through corridors, reception areas and offices if it is not managed effectively. It is important, however, to distinguish general office and welfare cleaning from specialist industrial cleaning. Production equipment, hazardous residues and areas subject to specific contamination controls may require dedicated procedures and appropriately qualified personnel. These requirements should be identified during the initial site assessment so that cleaning responsibilities are clearly defined. Choosing a Cleaning Partner for Manufacturing Offices Choosing a cleaning provider for a manufacturing environment involves more than comparing prices. A provider familiar with industrial and manufacturing premises will have a better understanding of the practical challenges involved, from setting realistic cleaning schedules to working within site-specific procedures. Rather than applying a standard office cleaning routine, they can draw on their experience to recommend an approach suited to the building and the people who use it. At It’s Clean Ltd, we take the time to understand each client's requirements before agreeing a cleaning schedule.
