10 facts about Office Cleaning in London
- Making the right decision
- Every business in London’s City and West End region is very different by means of the type of building and the materials which compose it, and also by their interior layout and design. Taking time to speak to companies in person about what you as a business need from a cleaning company should give you an idea if you are going to be a client who is cared for or a number in their books.
- Some cleaning companies may push towards their own availability when discussing times and days for their cleaners to visit your business. Make sure that when you decide which company you trust to carry out your Office Cleaning they can also accomodate to your business’ specific needs when it comes to cleaning hours.
- “I have a large corporate office, I need a large corporate cleaning firm”. This statement is far from the truth, if you are among the largest customers of a SME (small medium enterprise) cleaning company you should notice a much more personal and caring approach towards your business.
- Be sure to challenge office cleaning sales people on the vetting and training processes that they employ. Nearly half of the cleaning staff in London are illegal immigrants and security for your business and your staff should always remain a priority.
- Changing Cleaning Companies – Too many people have the though in their minds that making a change in cleaning company will cause so much fuss in the office that it may have counter productive effects on their staff during change over. It is no different to the permanent fixture staff leaving at 17:30 and coming back the next morning to start work again. If you are not happy with your service – change it!
- Bespoke cleaning options – Bearing in mind that a recent survey shows 60 percent of office staff have had a cold in the last 3 months it is important that as a business owner you recognise the causes and take action to reduct the sickness rate in your office. Believe it or not this is thought to be caused by germs both in keyboards and on computer screens rather than just by the air conditioning units. Customising cleaning services is not just what type of floor you have and the time of day most convenient to have the cleaners in but also the things you see as being important that may otherwise be left out of a contract. If not make sure your staff clean their own every couple of months by providing the correct computer cleaning materials.
- Janitorial Supplies – Paying a seperate company to deliver your towels and soaps? why not club togother with your cleaning company to drive down the cost of supplies.
- Too many seperate contracts? – Many cleaning service providers will only concentrate on their core work of cleaning. They may not include the re-supply of materials for washrooms or the disposal of general/sanitary waste. Finding a company who can shoulder this responsibility can free up some valuable time in house.
- Do you often see supervisors scrutinising the work of your cleaners? – If the answer to this is no then you should strongly consider looking for an alternative service provider who takes pride in quality. If the cleaners themselves know their work will not be checked by their own bosses, what would drive them to work to the highest possible standard.

Boy George Starts Community Service Cleaning Streets
Posted by Richard in : News , 1 comment so farBoy George starts street cleaning sentence
Boy George has started a five day street cleaning community service sentence for falsely reporting a crime and wasting police time.
The singer had joked “I’ve always been a scrubber” and took to the New York streets in relatively high spirits.
But, as he faced hoards of reporters in his fluorescent jacket and gloves, the 45 year old quickly lost his temper. “This is supposed to be community service,” barked the star, real name Paul O’Dowd. “You’re just making it a nightmare, which just means it’s for the media and not for me.”
He denied accusations he was annoyed with the menial work, commenting: “My mum was a cleaner, my dad was a builder, know what I mean?”
He was ordered to complete the service after he called police to his house in the city last October and was then convicted of wasting police time earlier this year as well.
A New York departmental spokesman said he would serve a ‘proper sentence’. “A lot of tourists means a lot of litter,” he commented. “This is the epitome of community service. It’s not like he’s going to be working in an air conditioned office.”
