Cleaning quality & service audits

Long-established cleaning programmes often become tired over time, which is reflected by declining quality and cleaning standards. The first step in evaluating existing cleaning provisions is to know where you stand now, this requires a systematic review of all aspects of your cleaning services and operations (workflow studies).

To do that you need to have someone completely independent of all parties to give an honest and unbiased assessment.

It is always good practice to document all business and organisational operations, particularly if the organisation seeks to follow quality management principles (for example ISO 9001). Cleaning is no exception; cleaning is an integral part of ensuring the quality of products and services are consistently met.

Good quality cleaning documentation removes any ambiguity between cleaning staff and management in the cleaning service provided and the expected cleaning standards to achieve. Sufficiently detailed documentation provides an on-going benchmark with which cleaning standards can be measure against, aiding efficient continuous improvement routes.

Cleaners and housekeepers with the right skills and knowledge that matches their capability are a valuable asset. Conversely, poor or no skills can place the organisation at great disadvantage in wasted productivity, or unnecessary and costly liabilities, loss of reputation through customer and staff complaints over cleaning standards.

Training is a valuable tool to harness the right people with the right skills in the workplace.

While working close with you in reviewing your current cleaning services, we analyse your workplace and cleaning needs to identify any gaps in services.

To ensure the entire cleaning operations are run at optimal effectiveness, and run at that level day after day continuously, detailed documentation is created.

The implementation of cleaning systems is just as important as the creation of those systems. The roll-out needs to be managed to reduce disruption and to ensure all staff are fully onboard with the changes.

Quality and performance indicators (KPI’s and Quality Checking Systems) are tightly integrated into the cleaning systems, to ensure cleaning standards are continuously met and the workflow is at optimal performance.

Everything we do is completely focused on providing you with optimal and measurable performance. Whether it is routine cleaning operations or specific and highly unique cleaning systems, being results-oriented ensures that optimal performance is always front and centre.

We don’t stop once every aspect of the work has been completed, we like to ensure the cleaning operations maintain a high level of optimal performance in the months after roll-out.
