5 Commercial Settings that Need Cleaning the Most

Commercial cleaning varies a lot from one setting to another. There are specific requirements that need to be followed at particular premises and different cleaning techniques that apply. Over the years we’ve worked with a variety of commercial clients from diverse industries. And because September is just around the corner, we thought we’d remind you about the top 5 commercial settings that need cleaning the most.

Schools and Nurseries

The new academic year is already at the doorstep. Hopefully, children will be able to go back to school as normal. A big role in making this possible play commercial cleaning services. Schools and childcare settings now have to adhere to higher cleaning and hygiene maintenance standards. Disinfection is required more frequently and there’s specific COVID-safe training that cleaning personnel has to go through. Some schools have taken all necessary precautions and trained their in-house cleaners appropriately. Others, however, will require assistance from a reliable and licensed commercial cleaning company.

GP Surgeries, Dental Practices and Physiotherapy Studios

Commercial cleaning is absolutely crucial in any healthcare setting. GP and dental surgeries are some of the places where cleaning and disinfection has to be carried out several times a day. As a company we serve a local physiotherapy clinic. Some of their patients are with weakened immune systems and therefore extreme hygiene levels at the premises are essential.

Food Factories

Food factories are definitely one of the top commercial settings that need thorough and regular cleaning. Even during the lockdown we continued cleaning one of the local cheese factories. In such commercial properties, cleaners must be extremely attentive and do their work with heightened care. Any contamination with bacteria or harmful substances can lead to food poisoning, serious long-term health implications and sometimes even fatalities.

Restaurants, Pubs and Bars

Even with the social distancing measures that have been implemented in the British pubs, restaurants and bars, nothing can replace the vitality of commercial cleaning services. The kitchen, the bar and the ambient area are cleaned in different ways and they all have their own specifics, which cleaners must be trained to follow.

Serviced Apartments and Holiday Lets

Even though the summer season is almost over, many people plan their holidays for September and October. A common destination is the British countryside for its spectacular nature and peaceful surroundings. A large percentage of visitors choose to stay in serviced apartments or holiday instead of booking a hotel. This makes regular cleaning and housekeeping services in those commercial settings absolutely essential.

Apart from holidaymakers, serviced apartments are also very popular with people who travel for work or business. Sometimes the turnaround of visitors is very frequent, so reliable professional cleaning service must be in place. The entire property needs to be cleaned and sanitised quickly, so the host can welcome the next visitors.

Do you think we are missing a commercial setting that certainly needs a lot of cleaning? Let us know.

Serviced Apartments & Holiday Homes – Is It a Commercial or Domestic Cleaning

Summer is here and with the restriction on lockdown easing more and more, many people will be planning a short escape to the countryside or perhaps a quiet family holiday away from the familiar setting.

For many years, Bredon Hill Cleaning Services has provided professional cleaning services to over 40 holiday homes and serviced accommodation in the Tewksbury area. Our managing director and co-founder of DCBN, Hristina Anastasova, says this is her favourite type of cleaning.

Just recently Ms Anastasova gave a video presentation to DCBN members and other cleaning professionals outside of the network, who want to learn more about servicing such a property.

There’s a clear debate on whether cleaning serviced apartments and holiday homes could be classified as domestic or as commercial cleaning.

Like she said in her video, Bredon Hill Cleaning Services Director believes this type of cleaning is unique and has different elements of both commercial and domestic cleaning. She also shared the process our company has adopted when onboarding new clients for this particular type of service.

What Happens First

After receiving an enquiry to clean a holiday home, we book a visit to the place with the client. We want to see every inch of the property and find out every little detail about our new client’s needs and expectations. Our visits are usually 40-50 minutes long and we come prepared with a lot of questions. But this is not to interrogate the client or appear nosy. We just want to make sure we will be maintaining the property exactly as the client wants it and has advertised it. That’s important for the satisfaction of their customers and we know when they are happy, our clients are happy. That’s our goal and motivation.

At the end of the visit, we present the new client with a welcome pack. It includes some information about our company, the terms and conditions of the service, available add-on or extra services such as laundry and ironing and stocking of supplies.

What Happens Next

Usually, by the end of the visit we’ve managed to impress our client and they can’t wait to receive our quote so we can seal the deal. As soon as we get back to the office Ms Anastasova sends teh custom quote to the client and we wait for the response.

In most cases, the client comes back pretty quickly with a go ahead. One important thing we always do is inspect the property together with the client after the first clean. This way we have the opportunity to make notes of anything the client might want us to change, do better or particularly likes exactly how it’s done.
