CLEANING “AN EXTRA CUPFUL
OF SOLUTION EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS MIGHT NOT
SEEM LIKE A CATASTROPHE, BUT OVER A YEAR
THE IMPACT IS SIGNIFICANT.”
For Morton, attention to detail is the key to success for a cleaning firm. However, Cleanology also sold itself through its green credentials and ethos around ‘the Science of Cleaning’. Morton said: “The biotechnology solutions and sachets appealed to me. I probably hear from 30 cleaning companies a month, and one of the ways I whittle them down is through their environmental policies; sustainability is really important to us.”
With large areas of black furniture and extensive black library shelving, cleaning at Household Design calls for real attention to detail. Dust, fingerprints and smearing are all hazards to avoid, and the wrong cleaning products detract from a flawless finish. However, the biotechnology solutions have stood the test. Morton concluded: “Cleanology have been with us since the start of the year, but I’ve noticed a really big difference. Attention to detail has been much better, and the communication is incredibly good.”
To counteract this excess, Cleanology has introduced its own brand, pre- portioned biotechnology solutions and wipes. Each sachet of multi- purpose or floor cleaner is sufficient for one bucket or spray can, with a pack of 50 sachets able to last a month. The sachets easily fit into a pocket, so cleaners can carry supplies with them from job to job. As well as the solutions, the range includes wipes, which are impregnated with biotechnology solution and pre-diluted with water.
One of the first companies to sign up to Cleanology’s service was Household Design, a retail culture design firm. With offices in London and Los Angeles, Household Design works with high profile clients such as Amazon, Harrods and Christian Louboutin to help brands better serve customers in contemporary retail culture.

over two floors, the décor includes items of vintage furniture; stunning, hanging pendant lighting, and a life-size, black horse lamp. With such effort gone into designing stylish surroundings, it is clear that cleanliness is taken as a given.
Studio Manager Lucy Morton agrees, “We have spent a lot of time and effort creating our look and we want it to look its best; it is really important that it looks clean.
“Firstly, we want to make a really nice place for the staff to work. The environment you work in is really important: the nicer the environment, the more relaxed people feel, and the more they want to work. I don’t want people seeing dust under the desks or dirty cups in the kitchen. Also, since we host clients at our offices – in fact we were holding an event just today – we want our offices to reflect who we are and to allude to the amazing work that we do. It is really important that the studio is spotless.”
Ponniah agrees that communication is central to Cleanology’s way of working. “For clients, this means regular quality audits and reviews, and a message book left on site for questions or notices. We also screen staff for written and spoken English language skills before they start work for us. However, as a responsible employer, we also aim to communicate clearly with staff to make their work life as smooth as possible. We are a certified partner of the Living Wage Foundation, with a strong belief in paying above the minimum wage, which helps achieve a high level of staff retention.
“Our environmental credentials – such as using electric or hybrid vehicles and achieving ISO:14001 – are all part of our core confidence that science and technology can help us to do a better job. We believe that science, technology and innovation are the key to unlocking the future success of the cleaning industry, and we are committed to playing our part in this story.”
