Cleaning is something that not everyone is particularly excited about. And the bigger the company and the bigger the building, the bigger the bother it is to deal with. However, as one may often overlook, there is a BIG difference between a quick, one-off vacuum session and the kind of specialist cleaning that actually protects your investment, your business, and your brand.
If the eyes are the windows to your soul, your company’s premises say a lot about what kind of business you are running. Moving beyond the idea of simply looking after the properties you own, specialist cleaning is a way for you to save money, time, and a whole lot of stress in the long run.
Here’s what you have to know to understand why specialist cleaning matters to your business more than you think.
What Is Specialist Cleaning?
Your standard bucket and mop simply won’t cut it if you’re working with stubborn graffiti or dealing with a property that has been neglected for days, or worse… months. The issue can’t simply be fixed by hiring a team of regular cleaners; it isn’t a case that requires a lot of grit and patience, after all. And sometimes, the problem requires finesse and expertise. This is why specialist cleaning is in a league of its own.
Specialist cleaning usually involves a team that:
- Uses advanced equipment
- Uses specific chemicals depending on the material that needs to be worked on
- Works with strict Health & Safety compliance in mind
- Is trained to handle all manner of waste, which could include biohazards such as blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids, using the appropriate equipment
What Makes Specialist Cleaning Different
It might look as though specialist cleaning is just a fancy way of describing a service that’s better than regular cleaning. Well, yes—but there’s more to it. To paint a better picture of what specialist cleaning looks like, here’s what you can expect from Principal Cleaning Solutions’ main specialist cleaning services:
Domestic Cleaning
In terms of specialist cleaning, expect our domestic cleaning services to be more about depth. Imagine the type of thorough, high-level cleaning that deals with the grime you don’t usually see, but which health inspectors and your next tenants would possibly look for.
Domestic cleaning involves:
- Deep sanitisation of the kitchen, which includes deep cleaning appliances such as ovens and dishwashers, alongside cleaning grime-lined, hard-to-reach areas
- Removal of limescale from your bathroom fixtures; it also includes removing the stubborn grime sticking in between your floor and wall tiles
- The use of high-grade equipment to lift dirt from fabrics and decontaminate them
- Detailed surface cleaning, which could brighten the areas that accumulate dust over time such as skirting boards and door frames, among others
Domestic cleaning is the type of specialist cleaning that protects your home or property’s fixtures and fittings in the long run, saving you from the massive headaches caused by unexpected repairs and replacements in the future.
Graffiti Removal & Jet Washing
There is no better way to ruin your business’s kerb appeal than with graffiti.
First impressions matter, so if your shop front and the rest of your building’s exterior look neglected and appearing as though they have been left at the mercy of vandals, sending the wrong message will be the least of your concerns. It is very hard for a customer to trust your company if that is the case. And if you are a landlord, it can make the property seem unmaintained and unsafe.
As part of Principal Cleaning Solutions’ main specialist cleaning services, graffiti removal and jet washing involves:
- The use of non-hazardous cleaners that break down the paint without damaging the delicate masonry and the brickwork beneath
- When applicable, the removal of moss, algae, oil stains, and other marks that lowers the value of your property
- Ensuring that once the graffiti is removed, there are no faint outlines or “shadows” left behind
- A quick turnaround, as speed is key when dealing with graffiti to discourage vandals from returning to the same spot as per the Broken Windows Theory
When specialist cleaning is involved, graffiti removal and jet washing demonstrate that your business is active, professional, and well-cared for.
Void Property Cleaning
Void properties are ticking time bombs for landlords and letting agents. Not only can they be a Pandora’s box of hygiene risks, but every day a unit or property sits empty is a day where money is being lost, worse still if it has been damaged by squatters.
When it comes to specialist cleaning, void property cleaning is about taking a property that has been left to the elements so that they could be cleaned, decontaminated, and restored to a “move-in ready” state as quickly as possible.
Of course, much of what this service offers is beyond the scope of regular cleaners. It involves:
- Removing abandoned furniture, disposing of fly-tipped rubbish, or other items that the previous occupants left behind
- Neutralising odours and deep-cleaning every surface to ensure the entire property is fresh and hygienic
- Safely handling and disposing of hazardous materials to ensure the space is safe and habitable.
Void property cleaning is always about protecting your bottom line, ensuring that your property remains well-preserved and that it has little to no downtime between renters
