Whether or not to outsource cleaning services for your business is ultimately a strategic decision. Outsourcing your cleaning arrangements can offer many benefits to business owners who want their teams to focus on growing and improving the business, rather than focusing on business maintenance and cleaning issues, especially amid a growing workload and on a tight budget.
The question of whether to outsource cleaning services at your workplace is a common one, and one that more and more businesses are making the decision of doing. But why?
Historically, some businesses and schools were insistent that they would keep cleaning services in-house, because it was cheaper. The review process would be something like this:
The following five points are often forgotten when deciding whether or not to outsource cleaning services:
When you consider the above five points, the price difference is much closer than it may first appear, when considering whether or not to outsource cleaning services at your place of work. There is of course much more to consider than this, but it is likely that the above is going to cost close to, if not more than £250 per month!
It's a good question - there has to be a benefit to you. The first obvious benefit is that assuming you select a good company, you can forget about the cleaning, and focus on your main role. It means that someone else is responsible for ongoing standards of cleanliness at your workplace, dealing with performance issues, stock management, risk assessments and much more.
If outsourced correctly, the cleaning can ultimately be a magical mystery that happens in the background. Things such as cleaning audits will be undertaken and sent to you if you wish, and you can have as much or as little involvement in the service as you wish. That is as long as you select a good company - a bad commercial cleaning company could end up causing you more work than before!

When you currently have your cleaning arrangements in-house, it is natural that you would want to protect these members of staff if the decision os made to outsource cleaning. A good commercial cleaning company will understand the process for transferring cleaners from both other cleaning companies and from in-house roles under The Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment (TUPE) regulations 2006, which fully protects the individuals.

NHS England and NHS Improvement guidance states that all healthcare settings including primary care are expected to ensure full compliance with the new National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness by November 2022. Premises expected to comply includes but is not limited to GP surgeries, primary care, dental care, acute hospitals, mental health, community, ambulance trusts, clinics and care homes.
There are five key requirements to ensure your full compliance with the new NHS standards of cleanliness, summarised as follows:
At Green Fox, we work with various medical premises of all sizes across Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey. We understand the importance of the highest levels of cleanliness at your medical practice, day after day. Lets look in a little more detail at the three audit types as outlined in the new NHS cleaning standards guidance.
What is the 50-point mandatory audit?
As the title suggests, this part of the new structure details 50 key areas that must be checked for cleanliness and compliance, with the last point including all cleaning equipment, including cleaning trolleys. You can find the 50 point check list and details for the next two audit parts detailed below, by simply clicking here.
What is the efficacy Audit?
In short, the efficacy audit has been designed to measure how you or your cleaning contractors clean, as opposed to what you clean and how frequently your cleaning takes place. Efficaciousness is determined using evidence-based, scientific methods. This will include:
What is the external audit?
In short, the external audit is contacting other local medial premises, to inspect each-other under the new NHS cleaning standards. This is not formally scored, but used for general observation, and looking to implement changes and improvements for any issues identified.
This third-party audit performs a vital role. There are no scores involved: it’s all about the systems you have in place. Are your functional risk areas divided sensibly? Have you got a system to identify low-performing areas and how effective is your remediation process?

On the 5th July 1948 an historic moment occurred in British history, a culmination of a bold and pioneering plan to make healthcare no longer exclusive to those who could afford it but to make it accessible to everyone. The NHS was born.
Before the creation of the NHS or anything like it, when someone found themselves needing a doctor or to use medical facilities, patients were generally expected to pay for those treatments.
Since then, the NHS has gone through many changes, improvements, updates and modernisation processes. No-one back in 1948 would have been able to foresee the way in which the NHS developed, succeeded, pioneered and expanded.
Today, the NHS is facing a greater crisis still. The issues of funding and demand continue to rise and the ability to provide free healthcare to all is a continuous topic of debate for many.
Things such as the implementation of new NHS cleaning standards help ensure continual improvement is sought.
More and more schools are now opting to convert to academy status. With high numbers of staff and pupils attending your premises on a daily basis, the provision of a clean and safe environment is essential. Learn more here about making the right choice for your academy cleaning services.
Academies in the same way as traditional schools, require all staff to be highly vetted to fulfil safeguarding requirements, and need to know that anyone working on their premises is 100% trustworthy.
Time and time again we hear from academies that have engaged the services of a national cleaning company that have promised the world, but failed to deliver. A lack of local presence will often mean little or no support when you most need it, and can result in a less thank sparkly academy.
With us providing daily cleaning services to schools and academies of all sizes throughout Hampshire, West Sussex East Sussex and Surrey currently, we have written this article to help you make a safe choice, and ensure you can focus your efforts on developing your pupils, and not worrying about the cleaning of your academy!
"Since joining Shoreham Academy as our cleaning contractor, Green Fox have made a huge improvement in the way the cleaning contract operates, with a strong emphasis on personal support from the management team, who have always taken a keen interest in ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Kelvin Coburn - Site Manager - Shoreham Academy
Our input is now quite minimal as Green Fox take care of all our needs – we are certainly in very capable hands. ‘Small enough to care, big enough to cope’ - Green Fox are all that we hoped for in a cleaning contractor and more."
Top 5 questions to ask when selecting a company for academy cleaning services
There are a number of key considerations when selecting a commercial cleaning company for your school cleaning services. Here are five key points we would recommend you ask any company when they come to quote for your school cleaning services.
Don't be afraid to ask this. Some companies use subcontractors and "self-employed" staff to avoid needing to pay pension, holiday pay etc. What this means in reality is they have little or no control over who is coming through your door each day.
All Green Fox Cleaning staff are directly employed by us. Our academy safer recruitment process involves the highest levels of vetting and selection. Our process will include background checks through various sources, enhanced DBS checks at all academy sites, where the highest levels of vetting for safeguarding compliance are required. With our company Directors being former Police Officers with over 30 years service between them, you can be assured that client safeguarding is at the top of our list.
Time and time again we hear horror stories of cleaning companies placing untrained staff to clean in academies, and don't even induct them on essentials such as the location of fire exits! All Green Fox Cleaning employees are trained by our in-house British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) trainers and receive a detailed and paid induction before starting work at all of our academy sites.
Turning up in the morning to find your academy has not been cleaned is pretty much the worst case scenario when outsourcing your daily school cleaning services.
At Green Fox Cleaning, we operate a live GPS employee attendance management system which is monitored 24/7 live-time by an on-call manager. In the event a cleaner doesn't arrive as expected, an on-call manager is alerted immediately and will investigate, and deploy one of our mobile team if required, to ensure you NEVER turn up to a dirty academy!
Many national cleaning companies delivering academy cleaning services do not have access to a good local team, able to respond to unexpected sickness or other absences. We hear horror stories of site managers having to clean their academy when unlocking in the morning, where their cleaning company has failed to deliver the contracted hours and fully clean the academy.
With Green Fox Cleaning, our local approach with local offices and local staff means you will always have the support you need for your academy. Our friendly local management team are always on hand with our 24-hour client and employee support line, and will be familiar faces when completing regular site visits to ensure the highest standards are being maintained.
A good commercial cleaning company offering academy cleaning services should offer the best equipment, to deliver the best results. This will of course come at a cost, which it is essential you consider the VALUE being offered by any commercial cleaning company quoting for your academy cleaning services, rather than simply the annual cost on paper.
Things such as the site team having to clean where areas are missed, or having to call and complain about the poor service received are all hidden costs to your academy. At Green Fox Cleaning, we offer the latest cleaning chemicals in dosage systems, massively reducing our plastic usage. Our investment in the latest cleaning machinery also ensures great results, day after day with our academy cleaning services.
We hope you have found this article on academy cleaning services useful. Asking the right questions at the beginning of your search for a great commercial cleaning company will save you time in the long run.
With OFSTED inspections and the focus on the ability for you to be able to tackle any viral outbreaks, there really are no second chances or compromises when it comes to delivering the highest levels of cleanliness, day in, day out.

Whatever you do for work, feeling supported and appreciated by your employer is not far off as important as being paid a fair wage - even more important for some people,
With so many companies out there, how do you find the best cleaning companies to work for?
First, let's consider the various roles within a commercial cleaning company:
First, you need to consider which role you are most interested in. The best cleaning companies to work for will always make time to discuss the different opportunities within their organisation, and see what is likely to be the best option for you.
But how do you even begin trying to work out which are the best cleaning companies to work for?
First of all - do your research online. Websites such as indeed have specific sections which allow former and current employees to review companies.
IMPORTANT - always read all reviews and make your own mind up. There will always be the odd disgruntled former employee seeking revenge, and even other companies posting fake reviews - read all the reviews and make your own overall assessment. There are some people that simply don't like being picked up when they don't wish to work hard, where companies with no local management have allowed them to perhaps be lazy, and they believe this to be the norm.
The below are what we consider the three best questions to ask any cleaning company, when trying to find the best cleaning companies to work for, regardless of the role you are potentially interested in.
Most management and office roles will be on permanent hours, either full or part time. Sadly, cleaning operatives aren't always looked after the same way.
Whilst zero hours and self-employment suits some people, it won't benefit most. With ether of the above, you are missing out on the guarantee of regular weekly hours, which could ultimately leave you in financial worry very quickly if the work dries up.
At Green Fox Cleaning, our staff all enjoy permanent contracts with regular weekly guaranteed hours. This offers job security and allows you to confidentially budget your home life.
Managers should expect to receive training around company systems, processes and much more. Again, the same level of initial training and support does not always appear to be given to those working hands-on roles.
Time and time again we hear horror stories of cleaning companies placing untrained staff to clean in sites, and staff being "chucked in at the deep end." All Green Fox Cleaning employees receive a full company induction, and those involved in any cleaning duties are trained by our in-house British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) trainers. They also receive a detailed and paid induction before starting work at any of our sites.
Don't be afraid to ask this - it is currently a candidates market to a large degree, and the best cleaning companies to work for should be investing to recruit and retain their staff.
All Green Fox Cleaning employees from apprentices to cleaning operatives to managers receive the following employee benefits:
We hope you have found this article on find the best cleaning companies to work for useful, and realised you may have just found THE best cleaning company to work for.

Commercial cleaning is a skill when done professionally, with clear and strict processes in place to minimise the threat of cross‑contamination. These processes aren’t just “nice to have” — they’re essential for maintaining safe working practices and protecting the people who use a building every day.
One of the simplest but most effective ways to achieve this is by following a colour‑coding system. But what exactly is colour coding in cleaning, and how does it work?
Colour‑coded cleaning was first introduced in the 1990s for hospitals and clinical environments, where hygiene standards must be exceptionally high. The system proved so effective that it quickly spread across the wider cleaning and catering industries. Today, it’s widely recognised as best practice for any business that wants to maintain consistently high hygiene standards.
There are typically four key colours used in the commercial cleaning sector. Each colour is assigned to a specific area of a building, and the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) provides clear guidance on how these colours should be used. At Green Fox Cleaning, we fully adhere to these standards across all sites we clean.
In the simplest terms:
you don’t use the same mop or cloth in a toilet that you then use in a kitchen or office.
Colour coding makes this mistake far less likely and helps maintain a safe, hygienic environment.
There are four main colours used in commercial cleaning. Each one has a specific purpose.
Red cloths, mops and buckets should only ever be used in washrooms, including toilets and urinals. These areas carry the highest risk of contamination.
Blue equipment is used in offices, hallways, reception areas and other general spaces where the risk of contamination is low.
Green cloths, mops and buckets are used in kitchens, canteens, restaurants and anywhere food is prepared or served.
Yellow equipment is used in treatment rooms, hospital wards, GP surgeries and similar environments where hygiene is critical.
This simple system helps ensure that cleaning tools never move from a high‑risk area to a low‑risk one.
A wide range of cleaning tools can be colour coded. This makes it easy for staff to grab the correct equipment instantly and for managers to audit cleaning practices at a glance.
Common colour‑coded items include:
Using colour‑coded versions of these tools helps keep cleaning processes consistent and reduces the risk of cross‑contamination.
Even with a colour‑coding system in place, mistakes can still happen. Some of the most common include:
Not replacing worn or faded equipment
Mixing equipment between sites
Not training new staff properly
Using multi‑purpose sprays across all areas
Storing equipment incorrectly
Avoiding these mistakes helps maintain the integrity of the colour‑coding system.
At Green Fox Cleaning, colour coding isn’t just a guideline — it’s a core part of our training and daily operations.
Our training includes:
This ensures every cleaner understands not just what to do, but why it matters.
Colour coding offers several important advantages:
Of course, none of this matters if your commercial cleaning company doesn’t fully train their staff in colour coding and its importance, as well as all other aspects of cleaning.
Sticking to colour‑coded equipment ensures there is no cross‑contamination during the cleaning process. It prevents harmful bacteria from being transferred around a premises and helps reduce the risk of infection.

It prevents cross‑contamination by ensuring cleaning tools are only used in the correct areas.
In the UK, the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) provides the most widely used guidelines.
Not always — which is why choosing a company that trains staff properly is essential.
More and more often, it seems that many businesses are looking at the headline price of a cleaning contract when comparing quotes.
This may seem obvious - if for example you have one quote to clean your premises daily for £1,500 per month and another for £1,300 - the cheaper one will save you money, right?
This is a bold statement, and one you might not immediately agree with.
But think about it - what is one of the most important things if you have daily cleaning services for your school, medical practice, showroom or any other premises.............?
The cleaners actually turning up!
That's right - imagine coming to open your workplace at 8am, to find the same mess as the night before - the cleaning fairies didn't turn up and work their magic!
But why wasn't this issue picked up? 🤔
Because cheap companies are cheap for a reason!
If the cleaners don't turn up, you could end up cleaning, lose business, receive reputation damaging complaints online and much more. That is of course a hidden and potentially significant direct and indirect cost, not considered in the "cheap" quote.
Cheap commercial cleaning companies don't offer their clients support after 5pm, when you need them most.
At Green Fox Cleaning, we operate a geofenced work attendance system that is monitored 24/7 by an on-call manager. This means if someone doesn't turn up for work at the scheduled time, the matter is investigated at the time, with a mobile response cleaner or cleaning team are deployed to complete your clean, ensuring you will never come in to a dirty workplace. We also have a 24/7 support line for our clients and employees 365 days a year - 366 days in a leap year! It also means we can guarantee you are getting the cleaning hours you are paying for.
Guess what - offering this service level isn't cheap! It's something that we offer to give our clients great VALUE - not a cheap commercial cleaning service.
Have you received a poor standard clean from your cheap commercial cleaning company, and wondered the reason why? It is highly likely it is because the company haven't trained their staff properly. Why? Because they are cheap and need to save money to give you a cheap quote!
Did you know there is actually a correct way to fold a cloth to clean with, a correct way to use chemicals, mops and vacuum? These processes are more efficient, and safer.
Why don't cheap commercial cleaning companies train their staff properly? Because it costs money! Why train if they can just put an untrained cleaner in and charge £2 or £3 less per hour, because they know you just want a cheap service at a cheap price.
At Green Fox Cleaning, our cleaning operatives are trained by our in-house British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) trainers, to a nationally recognised standard.
Guess what - it costs money to train our trainers, and for our trainers to train our teams! This isn't therefore in keeping with cheap commercial cleaning companies - more with those that aim to offer a great value service.
We have heard horror stories from cleaners that have joined us, where they have been offered and started jobs at sites, where they never even met anyone from the company. No contract issued, or told to work on a "self-employed" (or even cash in hand) basis, so the company can avoid employers responsibilities. Why? Because it allows them to give you a cheap quote!
At Green Fox Cleaning, our cleaners are subject to a thorough vetting process. This includes but is not limited to the following:
Guess what - conducting such checks costs money and adds to the great value service that we offer!
You need to decide if you want a great value commercial cleaning service, or if you want a cheap commercial cleaning service - the two will rarely, if ever, come hand in hand.
Take the cost example at the start of this post - one quote for £1,500 per month, and another for £1,300 per month. This equates to roughly £50 per week difference - is that a price worth paying to allow you to focus on running your business, and not dealing with cleaning issues every day? After all, that is the whole purpose of outsourcing a service - right?
Always compare what all companies are offering in terms of service level, not simply what their monthly fee is.
It you don't really care about the cleaning standards and if the cleaners turn up, a cheap commercial cleaning service might be best for you.
If however you view your cleaning services as an investment and want a stress free experience, Green Fox Cleaning could well be the perfect match for you. We are proud to rarely be the cheapest, as we focus on delivering a great value service, not a cheap price service.

Businesses of all sizes and in all sectors engage the services of commercial cleaning companies to provide regular contracted services to their premises. The cost of engaging a contract cleaning company is not throwaway money, so how do you ensure that you receive great value and reliable commercial cleaning services from your contractor?
Firstly, we have to consider what we think reliable means when understanding what reliable commercial cleaning services are. The three key points we consider to be:
CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE - If you contract your cleaning company to attend 5pm-7pm Monday to Friday, that is when they should attend. If one of their staff is sick, that isn't and shouldn't be your problem.
Imagine running a school and coming in the next day to dirty classrooms. Imagine running a doctors surgery and coming in to find the surgery has not been cleaned, increasing the risk of infection to vulnerable patients. Imagine running a restaurant and coming in to find food over the floor, dirty tables and toilets - 30 minutes before you are due to open. This should NEVER happen if you have a good commercial cleaning company that provide reliable commercial cleaning services.
Consistent attendance is arguably THE most important factor when it comes to receiving reliable commercial cleaning services.
CONSISTENT SERVICE DELIVERY - Whilst consistent service is key, if the cleaners are not delivering the service you are contracting the company to deliver or attending for the full contracted time, this is a real issue. It means you will not be receiving what you are paying for, and getting full value from the service. A reliable commercial cleaning service should be delivering the same high standards to your venue - day after day.
COMMUNICATION AND FLEXIBILITY - Ok so this could be two points, but we feel they go hand in hand. A company providing reliable commercial cleaning services should be communicative with their clients and respond to any email promptly - always the same day. They should also be willing to be flexible to meet the client's needs if they need to change their cleaning times on occasions, or need extra cleaning support.
CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE - We operate an advanced GPS attendance management system with geofencing. This is monitored by an on-call manager 24/7. Any "no-shows" are acted upon at the time. In the event a cleaner failed to attend, a manager would deploy a mobile cleaner to complete the clean, or even attend themselves.
CONSISTENT SERVICE DELIVERY - Our cleaners are trained by our in house British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) training team, to clean to a nationally recognised standard. We complete regular site audits to check standards. Our GPS system alerts us to an "under-stays" if a cleaner was to leave early, which will be investigated at the time.
COMMUNICATION AND FLEXIBILITY - Our offices are staffed from 0830-1700 Monday to Friday, with dedicated support teams to respond promptly to client contact. On top of this, we have a 24-hour client support line, meaning we are available when you need us the most.
A good commercial cleaning company that claims to provide reliable commercial cleaning services should be able to provide references from other local businesses in a similar sector. Always be sure to take these references up before signing a contract with a commercial cleaning company.
"Green Fox Cleaning are a fantastic local cleaning company. They are highly professional, very friendly, flexible, and provide outstanding, reliable service and communication. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend them any day!"

The automotive industry in the United Kingdom is now best known for premium and sports car marques including Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, McClaren and Morgan amongst others. Volume car manufacturers with a major presence in the UK include Honda, Nissan, Vauxhall and Toyota.
The origins of the UK automotive industry date back to the late 19th century. By the 1950s, the UK was the second-largest manufacturer of cars in the world (after the United States), and the largest exporter. However, in the following 56 plus years, the industry experienced considerably lower growth than competitor nations such as France, Germany and Japan, and by 2008 the UK was only the the 12th-largest cars producer in the world.
More and more companies are actively seeking local cleaning companies to clean their offices over national suppliers, but why?
In years gone by, businesses would receive a cold call from a call centre for a national cleaning company that more than likely didn't have a local office to the area they were targeting, and would be reliant on someone attending to provide a quote from some distance away. This person would often be a "new business manager" - that is, their job was to win new business, then move on and win more business.
What this sometimes meant was some people quoting would almost underquote the time needed on purpose to provide the cheapest quote. This meant they would win the contract, get their commission and move on to the next quote, leaving it for an area manager to somehow make the contract work!
Our Directors have spoken to many Area Managers who previously worked for national cleaning companies that had been put in this position in years gone by, where they have found it simply impossible to deliver the gold level of service promised by the new business manager, with the two rarely on the same page when it came to what was actually best for the client.
It should be fairly easy to think of one or two benefits of using local office cleaning services for your premises, but there are actually many benefits of going local. So let's look at what we consider give of the top reasons.
A good commercial cleaning company that provides local office cleaning services should be able to provide references from other local businesses.
At Green Fox Cleaning, we offer a number of benefits when it comes to our local office cleaning services. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

For decades gone by, the office was seen as the only place to work from for many employees. How things changed in 2020!
During the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses of all sizes across the UK worked from home for many months. Some employees debated the ‘death of the office’, while others struggling with ‘working from home burnout’ reminisced its power to innovate and inspire. Interestingly, the average workday became 48 minutes longer with home working.
Returning to the office was placed in employers’ hands and offices underwent significant changes to become Covid-secure. Collaboration was listed as the biggest reason employees want to return, with the social side being listed as highly important for many employees.
At Green Fox Cleaning, our focus on on delivering an unrivalled, local commercial cleaning service to businesses of all sizes, and in all sectors.
