Selecting the right casino cleaning company to undertake daily cleaning services for casino is essential. High spenders expect the highest cleaning standards. Learn more here about making the right choice, first time.
Casinos require all staff to be highly vetted, and 100% trustworthy. With potentially high values of cash on the premises along with gaming chips and alcohol, casino management need to have total trust in those responsible for cleaning their premises on a daily basis.
With casino giant Genting Casino trusting us with daily cleaning services, we have written this article to help you make a safe choice, and ensure the house continues to win!
"Green Fox have been nothing but super helpful in these difficult times, as they always are. Both office and cleaning teams were proactive at communicating and finding solutions and the service they provide is second to none. Very professional company which I would recommend to anyone."
General Manager - Genting Casino
There are a number of key considerations when selecting a cleaning company for your casino. Here are what we consider the top five:
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 cleaners are directly employed. Their vetting is high and will include enhanced DBS checks at sites such as casinos where the highest levels of security clearance are required.
A highly trained cleaner will take pride in their role, be more efficient and clean to a far better standard. All Green Fox cleaners are trained by our in-house British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) trainers.
Turning up to find your casino has not been cleaned is pretty much the worst case concern when outsourcing your daily casino cleaning requirements. At Green Fox Cleaning, we operate a live GPS employee attendance management system. 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.
Many national cleaning companies do not have access to a good local team, able to respond to unexpected sickness or other absences. With Green Fox Cleaning, our local approach with local offices and local staff means you will always have the support you need. Our friendly local management team are always on hand, and will be familiar faces when completing regular site visits to ensure the highest standards are being maintained.
A good commercial cleaning company offering casino cleaning services should offer the best equipment, to deliver the best results. 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.
We hope you have found this article on casino cleaning services useful. Asking the right questions at the beginning of your search for a great casino cleaning company will save you time in the long run.
With your customers looking to spend big money, there really are no second chances or compromises when it comes to delivering the highest levels of cleanliness, day in, day out.
With national casino giant Genting Casino putting their trust in us, you can be assured that we are a safe bet!

For a lot of people, there are few things they dislike more than cleaning their home or workplace. Cleaning doesn't have to be this way though - the purpose of this article is to give you 11 simple ways to make cleaning your home or office more fun.
There’s no denying that cleaning can be tedious at the best of times, especially if you’re completing a bigger deep clean or ae end of tenancy clean.
If you’re having trouble getting motivated, invite friends over to keep you company. Bribe them with pizza or alcohol (but not too much before all the cleaning is done!) and have them help, or even just sit in the room you are cleaning and chat. Simply having someone to chat to whilst cleaning can make the time fly by!
Cleaning is a great way to burn calories. Treating your cleaning as a form of exercise is one of the easiest ways to make cleaning fun. Typically cleaning can burn 150-250 calories per hour, dependent on the intensity of the cleaning.
You will feel great after cleaning if you have built up a sweat, and can avoid a trip to the gym later that day after a good exercise session!
Use your time cleaning to be nosy and have a good snoop around your own home! It may sound crazy, but look at every detail that would irritate you if you were snooping around someone else's home. Is there debris under the sofa, dirt behind the toilet? After the distraction and concentration doing this, the cleaning time will pass in no time at all!
Much like many of us like to listen to faster music when cleaning to keep us running, the same is true when cleaning. Playing music with good base and a fast beat will motivate you to clean at a good pace, and make cleaning your office or home feel like much less of a chore. It is one of the easiest ways to make cleaning fun for sure.
How often do we think to ourselves that we really need to call a family member or a friend, but there is always something to do? Why not use a hands free device and chat to them whilst cleaning your home - you will feel great not only for completing the cleaning, but hopefully have a laugh or two along the way during the phone call!
The thought of cleaning your home or office for two hours make fill you with fear. Why not clean every weekday for 30 minutes, and divide the tasks up? The time will fly by, with the same result achieved at the end of the week. Just make sure you remain organised and don't miss any areas when cleaning this way!
If you live with a loved one or have a good friend or family member visit often, clean a room to a standard you are 100% happy, and then challenge the person to find fault with your cleaning. After being caught out with a dusty door frame or skirting board, you will feel total satisfaction when the person is unable to pick fault with your cleaning! In terms of ways to make cleaning fun and feel proud some hours later during the inspection, this is a great way!
Why not dance around with your vacuum or mop! Whether you are imaging Mrs Doubtfire or being a singer superstar, no one is there to see - so why not take the chance to act as wild as you like! Ways to make cleaning fun don't get much easier than this!
Set a time every 20-30 minutes to save you getting bored or tired. During the break have a small treat such as a small piece of chocolate, a nice cup of tea or a healthy snack such as fruit. Just make sure you are working hard enough during your cleaning periods to burn those snacks off!
Cleaning with old, inefficient equipment is a sure fire way to lose interest and motivation. An old vacuum cleaner that chucks out more than it picks up, or an old mop that is more dirty than your floor will not only take longer to clean, but will drive you insane whilst cleaning. If you are looking for a new vacuum cleaner, click here to learn more about the three best types of vacuum for cleaning your home or office.
Having good cleaning equipment and modern gadgets is definitely one of the better ways to make cleaning fun, if not the cheapest!
If cleaning really isn't for you, then you could look at a good cleaning company for cleaning your home or workplace. That's definitely giving you time back for fun to do other things you enjoy more!
Cleaning your own office is unlikely to kill you, but why take the risk? To find out how Green Fox Cleaning can take care of your workplace cleaning requirements, click here to learn more about us and request a no obligation quote.
We hope these ways to make cleaning fun will prove useful!
Leather can look great when appearing at its best, but do you know how to clean leather if watermarks appear on it? They can quickly ruin the look of office leather chairs, shoes, chairs, bags and many other items.
Whether your leather is tan, black or brown in colour, follow these tips to get water marks off your items, and return your leather surface back to presentable condition. Patience is a virtue when it comes to this process, so be prepared to spend some time on each step.
It may sound obvious, but the longer water sits on the leather, the more damage it will cause. So If you can, always try to wipe as much of the spill away as soon as possible to minimise any permanent damage!
The softer the cloth the better. You need to dampen it so that it does not drip with water but is certainly not dry. Do not use soap or any other chemicals - just use water on your cloth.
It is best to use water that is room temperature or slightly warmer as opposed to water straight from the tap that is likely to be too cold for the leather.
Start at the centre of the stain and gently wipe outward in a circular motion. Once you decide which way your circular motions will be, ensure you keep going the same way throughout the cleaning process.
This is where you need to be patient. Rubbing too hard could damage the leather, so you need to be very gentle and spend time rubbing the stain.
The idea of this process is to gently moisten the area of the stain while brushing outward to collect as much of the matter from the stain as possible, removing it in the process.
If you think the area you are treating has become too wet, try to dry excess away with a clean dry cloth. Let the leather dry naturally and do not try and speed this up by placing it close to a radiator or any other heat source, as this could cause cracking and further damage. Clean leather that is cracked from not following this process is no good to anyone!
Once the leather that you have been cleaning is dry, apply leather cream to help restore and waterproof the leather. Rub the cream in to the leather using a light circular motion, and always follow any instructions on the packaging of the leather cleaner.
Leather is one of humans earliest and most useful discoveries. Our ancestors used leather to protect themselves from the elements, when they didn't have luxuries of warm homes and central heating systems.
Primitive man hunted wild animals for food, then made clothing, footwear and crude tents from the hides, using as much of the animal as possible.
Like then, hides used today are a by-product. Animals are raised for the meat, dairy and wool industries, not for their hides. Approximately half of all leather produced today is used to make shoes, and about 25% for clothing. Upholstery demands only around 15% of the total product. The process to clean leather has evolved considerably over the years.

In the world of kitchen appliances and modern office washrooms, nothing stands out more than sparkling stainless steel. The popular finish is striking, sleek, and looks great with nearly any colour scheme. It looks fresh, clean and really does have an eye catching finish when looking at its best.
However, it is one of the easiest things to look terrible and really detract from the overall appearance of your office or home. Fingerprints, smudges, and splashes can all dampen the clean stainless-steel sparkle and become a source of frustration.
The good news is that as quick as those surfaces get dirty and can appear marked and lose the wow factor, they can look like new again with a few simple cleaning techniques to clean those appliances. Keep your appliances looking shiny and in tip-top condition with our cleaning tips for the best way to clean stainless-steel appliances detailed in this post.
For daily cleaning of your stainless steel appliances to remove water marks, you will be pleased to know that you often will not need anything more than a microfibre cloth.
Start by wetting the cloth, and then wring it out so it is damp, but not wet. Give the appliance a wipe over, and then use a second microfibre cloth which is dry. This second wipe will remove any remaining moisture which may in turn before a water mark spot.
Always use microfibre cloths - never use a sponge or similar. The slightly rougher finish can cause fine scratch marks to stainless steel appliances
If your stainless steel appliance feels a bit sticky or greasy, put a drop of washing up liquid on your microfibre cloth for the first step, then use a damp cloth with only water to remove any product, and finally a third wipe with a dry microfibre cloth to remove any moisture.
Some water marks are more stubborn, and a combination of water, washing up liquid and microfibre cloths simply won't cut it. The two products you need for the next level up are likely to already be in your kitchen - vinegar and baking soda!
For tough spots on stainless-steel appliances that don't seem to want to budge, wet a thick, clean towel with distilled white vinegar that has been brought to a boil.
Place the damp towel on the spot and let it sit for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with baking soda, then scrub gently until the spot disappears. Wipe the area clean with water and dry with a clean cloth to remove any remaining moisture to prevent further water marks appearing.
If there is a water mark type stain that won't come off your appliance no matter how hard you scrub, consider buying a stain removal product made specifically for metals. If you do this, be sure to carefully follow the instructions to prevent causing any damage.
Hopefully you have found this article useful, and water marks on stainless steel appliances at both work and home will be a thing of the past. The processes to clean them are simple and don't require a high level of skill, just a good understanding of the process.
The easiest way to keep your stainless steel appliances looking great at your workplace is to outsource your cleaning needs to a good commercial cleaning company. Click here to learn more about Green Fox Cleaning, and how we can help improve the appearance of your business with ours.
Green Fox Cleaning were approached to provide event cleaning services for a number of premium car manufacturers at Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The rural location of Goodwood can make it challenging for cleaners to get to, and the sheer scale and number of visitors to events at Goodwood can cause serious traffic disruption in the immediate vicinity, making access nigh on impossible.
With the cleaning times being required between 6am and 9pm, the selection of a good cleaning company able to provide such services at Goodwood Festival of Speed and other event locations is crucial.
When selecting a company to clean at your special event, you need to ensure that the company can offer the following:
Pre-event cleaning was completed by our teams at Goodwood Festival of Speed as stands and stages were built, working alongside event teams and builders.
The weather brought challenges from water extraction machine placement at stands suffering flooding, followed by large amounts of mud walked onto carpeted stands, and associated slip risks on hard floor stands.
This required quick changes to cleaning practices, utilising water extraction machines, squeegees and other cleaning processes appropriate for an event with large crowds, whilst ensuring the highest levels of health and safety were maintained.
Knowledge of safe working is essential in pre event cleaning, where there are builders and heavy plant machinery in operation.
What is the worst case if a guest or staff member suffers an injury as a result of poor cleaning processes, with a lack of health and safety? Was the wet floor sign out? Were there trailing cables?
With our SMAS and CHAS safe contractor accreditation, you can be assured that Green Fox Cleaning are a safe choice when working on construction sites.
After pre-launch cleaning services have been completed, the live days of any event are the most for the client. It’s when they can show their product or service to visitors, and the exhibition location simply must look perfect at all times.
For the live Goodwood event cleaning days, we would sanitise all high touch points as well as cleaning all areas of stands throughout the event, without affecting the guest experience. This visible cleaning presence helped reassure the many thousands of visitors attending the stands each day, maximising the customer experience with ongoing sanitisation on digital screens and other high touch points.
The best way to judge the success of your work is by feedback from your clients, both positive and constructive. It allows continual development and improvements where needed. Feedback from our clients following this event included the following:
“Thanks for a great job throughout the event. Our cleaner being proactive and responding to spillages meant that our senior management and VIP guests didn’t see it.”
Mini
“Really appreciate your hard working team throughout the event – please pass on our thanks to all involved.”
Porsche
“Sarah has been a superstar cleaning our Electric stand in these challenging conditions!”
BMW
Green Fox Cleaning operate in cleaning all sectors - not just events. Our event cleaning client portfolio has included P&O, Goodwood events, and much more.

Vinyl floor is commonplace in many businesses now. The value offered by it in terms of durability and the relatively straightforward maintanance and cleaning makes it tough to beat as a good allrounder.
Do you know how to clean a large office vinyl floor and keep it looking great day after day? You will do after reading this short article on the subject.
No matter how often you decide to spend longer cleaning your floor on occasions, your efforts will be so much harder and less effective if you don't ensure good regular cleaning of your floor.
In addition to ensuring you have good entrance mats to encourage staff and visitors to wipe their feet and catch most debris at the door, ideally you should sweep or vacuum (with a suitable soft attachment or setting!) your vinyl floor every day. This will help not only keep the floor looking great at all times, but will limit what gets trodden deeper into the floor.
Even with a large vinyl floor, good daily maintenance will save you time in the long run. A spot vacuum or sweep to remove all obvious debris won't take long.
Never use scouring pads or wire wool cleaners on your vinyl floor - you will end up damaging it over a long period. It may seem much easier the first couple of times, but will soon cause irreversible damage.
The last thing to do to clean large office vinyl floor areas is to mop it.
The temptation may be to buy a strong floor cleaner, thinking it will be quicker and easier. Again, this could cause damage longer term and could result in sticky floors if not used correctly.
All you need to complete this cleaning process is to use warm (not hot!) water. If you have more stubborn marks, a small amount of washing up liquid is all you will need.
A squirt of WD-40 on a soft cloth is all you need to remove even the toughest of scuffs of your floor.
We hope you have found this guide on how to clean large office vinyl floor areas useful, and that it will save you time and money in the long run.
The easiest way to keep your large office vinyl floor and the rest of your office looking great is to engage the services of a good commercial cleaning company to clean large office vinyl floor areas.

Steam cleaners are useful for hundreds of cleaning applications in both the home and workplace environments. If you need to clean delicate upholstery items, fabric furniture or even sanitise your mattress, your steam cleaner can be the most useful cleaning tool you'll ever use to complete these tasks in an effective and efficient way.
Steam cleaning not only removes embedded stains and dirt, it also sanitises surfaces as well as removing allergens. On top of this, the treatment can also kills bacteria, mould, bedbugs, viruses, dust mites and most other pathogens!
"Important - before you begin any treatment on upholstery, vacuum it fully using a soft brush attachment that won't damage the furniture, and be sure to vacuum every nook and cranny. Check the suitability of any vacuum attachment before using"
Green Fox Cleaning accredited trainer
After vacuuming the upholstery carefully, you want to tackle any obvious stains with a pre-treatment. Use an upholstery spot cleaner, and check the instructions for contact time (the amount of time it needs to be left on for to be effective).
After you have allowed sufficient contact time, blot the area carefully with a clean soft cloth, which should help lift the stain with the product.
A main benefit of steam cleaning for the user is the ability to get out ground in dust and dirt. A good pre-treatment product will help loosen therse makrs before you being the steam treatment.
Again, spray this on the fabric and allow contact time as advised on the bottle. With a very soft brush, gently rub this over all the upholstery, making sure you are rubbing the shampoo into the actual fabric to be effective.
It is now the time to clean upholstery with a steam cleaner. Quantities of water and product added to machines vary depending on the machine you have, so follow the directions based on the make and model that you have.
Always follow manufacturer's instructions for the correct usage of the steam cleaner, as all will vary slightly.
To use the steam cleaner, you add water and cleaner to the machine.. Normally, you will remove a container from the steam cleaner and fill it with warm water and upholstery cleaner. Make sure you don't fill it too full, as otherwise it could overflow and pour out on the upholstery.
Once you have steam cleaned all of the fabric upholstery, you will need to leave the furniture to dry. You can leave this to occur naturally, with windows open to speed the process. Other options could include using a hair dryer on a lowe setting or a fan to speed up the process.
After you clean upholstery with a steam cleaner, it is possible you may have the odd stain lingering.
Either white distilled vinegar or even vodka will make short work of stubborn stains. Blot the stain with either on a cloth which you have soaked with the liquid. Once they dry, the smell of either will go.
We hope you have found this article on how to clean upholstery with a steam cleaner useful. Following the tips above, the process should be simple and stress free for you, whether in the home or work environment.

Knowing how to clean large office premises can appear daunting to say the least. Cleaning a small office with one or two members of staff is straightforward, but how to clean a larger premises is a completely different beast.
With more and more businesses designing their offices to offer open plan working, office spaces are becoming larger, and a structured process is required to clean them.
Not literally, but when understanding the process to clean large office premises, a good way to make the process less daunting is to break the building down into floors, or even break larger floors in half.
You can then assign dedicated cleaning operatives to cover set areas, avoiding confusion over the areas that require cleaning. This simple step will make cleaning of the premises much more straightforward.
A clear cleaning specification is key to clean large office premises in both an efficient and effective way. It makes it clear what is expected, and what should be completed every visit, and which tasks can be done less frequently, on a rotational basis.
Without a cleaning schedule, it is hard to challenge staff about areas that have been missed. It is also important that staff are trained to clean correctly and safely.
Regular audit inspections will help ensure the cleaning schedule is being followed and the clean is being completed to the best possible standard.
A good commercial cleaning company should always provide a detailed cleaning schedule if providing your cleaning services.
Start on the top floor, and work down. In a large office, clean the highest points and work round the office in a clockwise direction, working from the outside of the room and working in. This will ensure that no areas are missed, and the clean is as efficient as possible.
It may be tempting to vacuum first thinking it is a large task and wanting to get it out of the way, but if you do this first, any debris removed when dusting will fall to the floor, meaning you need to repeat the process at the end of the clean. Clicking here will help you select the best vacuum cleaner for your premises.
Centralised bins are large bin bases placed in strategic places in larger office premises. If you think that large office premises can have well over 100 employees, 100 desk bins will be time consuming to change and damaging to the environment. Four centralised bin setups could serve the same number of employees, and result in cost savings. Click here to learn more about centralised bin systems.
Cleaning a large office premises doesn't have to be any more of a challenge than a smaller office. It simply requires more planning to ensure a slick, efficient process can be implemented to complete the task.
The best way to keep your office looking great is to employ a contract cleaning company. You can click here to learn more about office cleaning services undertake by Green Fox Cleaning.
We provide cleaning services to both nationally recognised brands, as well as smaller independent businesses. We clean large office blocks with teams of cleaners and supervisors every single day, as well as a visit or two per week with a single cleaner at smaller premises.
Ball pit cleaning can be considered a rather niche area, but can be a nightmare when it comes to even thinking about where to start!
Whether your ball pit is a smaller one at a nursery or a gigantic one at a childrens play centre, both will have hundreds, if not thousands of balls.
Ball pits, a popular form of play for children, are sometimes used by physiotherapists working with children, especially those with autism. But commercial ball pits in shopping centres and restaurants have previously been found to be contaminated with dirt, urine and faeces.
The NHS published findings from a study around germs on plastic balls in ball pits.
If you are running a large ball pit that experiences heavy usage on a daily basis, it is recommended that you thoroughly undertake ball pit cleaning every 3-6 months and clean the ball pit balls daily. If you have a smaller scale ball pit at your home you can clean the ball pit balls after 2 or 3 uses and then thoroughly clean the entire ball pit every 3 to 6 months.
There are six steps to follow if you plan to clean your ball pit balls manually. They are as follows:
Avoid the temptation to tip all balls into a large bucket of pool of solution, as any with small splits or cracks will fill and not dry properly and you may have to start the process again.
Another way to clean ball pit balls is through the use of specialist machinery, which can speed the process up massively, but of course has separate costs associated with it. The balance between manual cleaning and the use of a machine is one that you must weigh up, and would generally only be a consideration in larger setups.
It is not a surprise that ball pits get dirty very quickly from young children playing in them. It would be good practice to have the member of staff responsible for watching the ball pit whilst in use to have possession of a suitable disinfectant spray and cloth, so they can respond quickly to any obviously dirty ball pit balls, or if a user has an "accident" of any sort.
This process will provide reassurance to users that you are taking daily sanitisation of your premises seriously and keeping users as safe as possible.
The easiest way to keep your ball pit and the rest of your premises safe, hygienic and looking great is to employ the services of a good commercial cleaning company to take care of your ball pit cleaning.
