What are the benefits of outsourcing cleaning for your business? This article should help explain why it is a good idea.
Over years gone by, companies have decided to employ their cleaner(s) directly, or use an individual self-employed cleaner as it seems a cheaper option. If you have Mary Poppins this may well be true, however if your cleaner is a normal human being, they are likely to have periods of sickness, want annual leave, and let their standards drop from time to time.
When looking at the benefit of using a commercial contract cleaning company versus employing in-house, you should consider the following points:
The above list is far from exhaustive, but gives an idea of just how many things need to be considered if employing in-house.
The benefits offered by commercial cleaning companies will vary considerably and careful selection is essential to ensure the best value and service. Below are a number of benefits of using Green Fox Cleaning:
Once again this list is not exhaustive, but gives you an idea of the benefits of using a good commercial cleaning company rather than managing this in-house.

What are the benefits of outsourcing cleaning? Hopefully this article has given you some food for thought.
The question of whether contract cleaners use pet safe products in veterinary practices is a very important one, and needs careful consideration by any practice that are considering the outsourcing of their contract cleaning requirements when considering a contract cleaning company.
Veterinary physicians inherently love animals and will normally do everything they can to give them the best possible treatment give them the care they need they are ill. The last thing a vet wants to do is to hurt animals in any way, yet without even knowing it, the health of the animals being treated can be adversely affected by the premises if it is not properly cleaned. Pet safe products are essential in this setting for obvious reasons.
It’s extremely important that vets pay attention to details and have their office professionally cleaned regularly. A single mistake can turn into a massive problem, affecting all the animals that go to the clinic – the ill ones, the ones who are just going for a shot, and the animals that are just recovering. A veterinary practice is a medical facility and as with most other medical facilities, there is a high risk of contamination.
Like many other sectors, more and more veterinary practices are deciding to outsource their daily premises cleaning, to remove the added stress of managing their cleaners, and the issues in the event of staff absence, or performance issues. The question of pet safe products and contract cleaning is therefore one that must be fully understood, to make an informed decision.
Areas should be risk assessed to determine the frequency with which they or elements within them are cleaned. The risk is the degree of infection risk to animals, clients and staff from inadequate cleaning.
The selection of the best equipment and pet safe products to not only complete the clean to the highest standard, but to also keep humans and animals alike safe is essential. Many companies will not necessarily have the knowledge of the most safe and suitable products in this sector.
Some companies will not fully understand the need for a colour coding system to prevent cross contamination, and will use a dirty mop day after day, spreading germs rather than removing them.
Our selection of pet safe cleaning products is second nature when it comes to cleaning of veterinary practices. Our selection will tackle animal viruses and bacteria, maximising the safety for all visitors at our clients premises. They are tested and proven to be effective in protecting all animals, including more regular pets such as cats and dogs, as well as reptiles and less frequent visitors to the vets.
In response to the question of do contract cleaners use pet safe products in veterinary practices - at Green Fox Cleaning, our careful product selection can used for all reception areas, surfaces and equipment in veterinary surgeries and for all disinfection applications in kennels, catteries and other animal habitats.
It should therefore not come as a surprise that national group Vet Partners engage our services on a daily basis at a number of their practices across the country.
We also provide daily cleaning services to local veterinary groups, with site dedicated cleaning operatives.
The reality is that when asking the question "Do contract cleaners use pet safe products in veterinary practices?" - not all companies will have the skill and knowledge in this field. That's why selecting a good commercial cleaning company for your practice is essential.

More than ever, office cleaning demands the highest possible cleaning standards, every time. Selecting the right office cleaning company will have a big bearing on how clean, and ultimately safe, your office is for both visitors and staff.
A clean, sterile office is essential more than ever now, with professional cleaning services no longer to be considered a luxury. The frequency of cleaning should also be reviewed – is one visit per week really enough to keep your staff safe?
The selection of the correct cleaning products to clean your office is also a careful consideration – do you know the difference between antibacterial and antiviral cleaners, and sanitisers? Where do you begin when it comes to selecting the most suitable cleaning products for your work environment?
The number of hours, number of operatives and frequency of service required for your office premises will all have an effect on what type of service you require.
A good office cleaning company should be able to confidently advise on the above, and give clear guidance as to how many hours are required, regardless of the size of your premises.
At Green Fox Cleaning, we are experienced at cleaning large offices and business headquarters. Through our use of fully vetted and highly trained local cleaners and operations teams, we are able to provide an unrivalled local cleaning service.
The below building is the Headquarters of Aerial Direct, the UK's largest O2 partner who employ hundreds of staff in this large building. Following this image is a testimonial from the facilities manager, after struggling with previous cleaning companies, unable to meet their needs. A supervisor and team of five dedicated cleaners attend every single night to provide reliability, consistency, and ensure personal pride is taken in the building.
Many premises will require an initial deep clean when a new cleaning company start their regular services. This will especially be the case if your previous office cleaning company have not delivered the required high standards associated with office cleaning services.
Not all offices require teams of cleaners; many offices will require a single cleaner to keep the premises looking great, and keep it safe for staff and visitors. At Green Fox Cleaning we clean numerous smaller offices, providing a reliable cleaning service to our clients. A good office cleaning company should aim to deliver the same high level of office cleaning, regardless of the size of the premises.
It is sometimes the case that businesses are happy with their cleaner, but not happy with the support (or lack of support!) provided to their cleaner and themselves by the company. There is a legal process where we can easily transfer these staff to our management, and improve the support they received, in terms raising standards. We are experienced at this process and have many case studies of where productivity and results have improved when staff have transferred to us. Click here to learn more about this process.
If you currently have an office cleaning company, how good do they keep your hard floors looking? Are they smear free and smell free?
Do they keep a smelly, germ contaminated mop head in the cleaning cupboard or do they have measures in place to minimise cross contamination and the spread of germs? Does your current contractor even understand and follow nationally recognised industry colour coding measures to prevent cross contamination? If you don’t have a mixture of the below coloured buckets on site, it’s highly unlikely they do.
A safe and clean working environment is the very least that your staff and visitors should expect. Just a few of the benefits include:
There are of course many more benefits to using a professional cleaning service. But how do you know where to begin looking for a contract cleaning company if you don’t have one, or simply aren’t satisfied with your current provider?

Selecting a good value commercial cleaning company can be a challenge. More and more, businesses are feeling the financial pinch and looking to make savings wherever possible.
Often, this will result in them selecting the cheapest quote for a service or product, including cleaning.
We all know the old saying "buy cheap, buy twice" when making a purchase, and the same is true when selecting a cleaning service.
Cleaning should be "invisible", allowing you to focus on the running of your business without having the worry of whether or not the cleaners have turned up, or if "those" cobwebs have been missed yet again, resulting in a poor image for staff, visitors and clients.
Time and time again, we are told that companies have been paying less for their current cleaning arrangement than our quote.
When discussed, companies accept that they are seeking further quotes due to dissatisfaction and that the low price is likely to be a key contributor to this. We want to be known for offering the best value service, and not being the cheapest option.
Ask yourself if you have a cheap cleaning service cleaning your business which you are not fully satisfied with, do they offer all of the following customer benefits?
Of course we offer many, many more benefits than those above, and we would be delighted to discuss each and every one in a no obligation quote.
At Green Fox Cleaning, we love the below quote from business tycoon Warren Buffet.
