RETAIL & DAYTIME CLEANING THE FOREMOST


REASON FOR DAYTIME CLEANING


As the trend of daytime cleaning becomes more prevalent for contract cleaners, it is important that they find ways to effectively do the job while causing minimum disruption. Here, Foremost tells us about its latest floorcare solution that can to do job quickly and quietly.


Daytime cleaning is essential – as the main cleaning programme in some buildings, and the means of maintaining round-the-clock spotless appearance in prestigious environments – and the benefits can be really significant.


Firstly there’s increased visibility – cleaners are in the front line, they can be seen to be performing a valuable and needed job. Then there’s enhanced value – occupants and visitors perceive the job done better when they can see it carried out, and their impression of the establishment increases, be it an office, retail, healthcare or leisure location.


Interestingly, day-cleaners get more of a helping hand from building occupants. Users are more likely to leave surfaces clear and ready for cleaning to take place when the cleaner is someone they see every day. And monetary cost is no small consideration these days – good news, daytime cleaning reduces the need for ‘out of hours’ wage rates, security and admin night cover, heating and lighting the building out of hours.


Communication, training and team- spirit are all improved when everyone is present at the same time. A few years ago when the Managing Director of a cleaning company went incognito as an undercover night-shift cleaner in his own company, he reported a ‘pretty awful experience... So we suggested daytime cleaning not only for cost savings, but for the wellbeing and productivity of staff’.


Any Reasons Not To Move

contractors, and building users. So are there any downsides or obstacles to adopting this approach? Historically, the noise of cleaning machines has disturbed staff and visitors, and trailing cables could pose a trip hazard.
