How Do We Support?

No cleaning service is perfect – we all understand and accept this. However, this does not mean we should accept a poor clean – your students deserve the best!

That’s why we offer our school cleaning reviews and audits, designed to ensure that your high standards are maintained, and that you’re getting true value for money from your cleaners.

Quality Audits

In many schools, headteachers and SBMs wear many hats, and are often involved heavily in ensuring that cleaning quality is maintained.

This eats significantly into your time on a weekly basis, taking you away from other equally important duties.

That’s why we provide comprehensive cleaning quality audits. We’ll provide an objective view on what’s going well with your existing cleaners, and what needs to be improved, allowing you to make informed decisions on what, if anything, needs to change.
