Commercial Cleaning Blog

In the last couple of weeks I had two very different conversations with two very different clients.

Have you ever gone down a path with full conviction... only to stop and ask yourself:

"Does it really matter if my commercial cleaner uses contractors?"

“What questions should we be asking when we meet with a potential commercial cleaning company?”

When organisations such as yours consider psychosocial hazards (things that make workers feel stressed, unsafe, or undervalued), if you discuss them at all, you likely think about them within the context of your own employees—your office staff, your frontline workers, your management teams. As a result, you’ve probably got policies in place, maybe even a dedicated HR team, who is tasked with making sure your people feel supported, respected, and safe at work.

If you’re in food manufacturing, you already know cleaning isn’t just about making things look tidy—it’s about compliance. And compliance isn’t optional.
