A deep clean is an additional, diarised or adhoc clean that is more in depth than regular daily office cleaning. The best way of looking at it is a regular clean is aimed at cleaning any mess created between cleans, a deep clean is more geared towards restoring a premises to its original position and generally includes items not on a regular schedule.
Tasks that can be carried out during a deep clean include:
- Window/High level cleaning
- Moving of furniture, appliances & general contents to clean underneath & behind them
- Professional Carpet and upholstery cleaning
- Machine cleaning hard floors
- Wiping down of walls and wall tiles
- Descaling & sanitising sanitary fittings
It is best practice to regularly review your cleaning arrangements and, if not already doing so, consider the use of a cleaning contractor. A contractor dedicated to the task should provide better and more consistent level of clean. Other benefits of using a cleaning contractor are;
- Guidance – Cleaning contractors should support their customers in identifying how regularly each area of their premises needs cleaning, with particular focus on high footfall areas and common touchpoints. Cleaning contractors should also support their staff and ensure that they have had sufficient training.
- Flexibility – The service provided should also offer the flexibility to respond to any short notice requirements or cleaning needs a client may have.
- Reliability – Professional cleaning contractors must be reliable. They should understand that their customers need them to clean their premises at the agreed times and frequencies. They should be as meticulous about managing cover for sickness or holidays as they are about their cleaning.
- Trustworthy – Customer security should be a top priority and even more so if a contractor needs to clean when a customer’s premises is vacant. Recruitment policies for cleaning operatives should include additional security checks for safeguarding people, processes and premises.
- Consistency – Service consistency is also key. Procedures and monitoring systems should ensure that cleaning is done to the same exacting standards during every visit.
We always aim to provide a dedicated team to each contract. In addition each contract has a dedicated supervisor who closely monitors and reacts to sickness and holiday absence.
