What is commercial cleaning?

Commercial cleaning is routine contract cleaning of workplaces, such as offices, shops, schools and communal areas, carried out to a written specification with set frequencies. It runs early mornings, evenings or during the day, and is checked by regular quality audits.

What does our commercial cleaning service include?

  • Written cleaning specification and frequency schedule
  • Desks, floors, kitchens, washrooms and touch points
  • Consumables and colour-coded equipment supplied
  • Periodic deep cleans, carpet and hard-floor care
  • Key-holding and alarm procedures agreed
  • Quality audits with scores you can see

What are the legal requirements?

Cleaning chemicals are controlled under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002), so every product used on site comes with a safety data sheet and a COSHH assessment.
