Cleaning & Sustainability Guide

Straightforward recommendations to help workplaces stay presentable, support scheduled cleaning and reduce avoidable waste between professional visits.

Everyday care

Small routines make scheduled cleaning more effective.

A clean workplace is easier to maintain when staff, site contacts and service teams share clear expectations. These simple habits help protect presentation and keep problems visible.

  • Wipe shared touchpoints such as handles, switches and meeting-room controls when visibly soiled.
  • Keep desks and floors clear so scheduled cleaning can be completed safely and thoroughly.
  • Deal with spills promptly using the correct product for the surface.
  • Empty food waste regularly and keep kitchen benches dry and uncluttered.
  • Report leaks, damaged dispensers and recurring hygiene concerns early.

Responsible practices

Reducing impact through practical choices

Environmental care is most credible when it is built into everyday decisions. Product selection, accurate dosing, reusable materials and clear waste systems can all help reduce unnecessary consumption.

01

Use only what is needed

Follow product instructions and measured dilution systems to avoid unnecessary chemical and water use.

02

Separate waste clearly

Use consistent, well-labelled bins and review contamination points with workplace teams.

03

Choose supplies carefully

Where practical, consider concentrated products, refillable systems and responsibly sourced consumables.

04

Maintain reusable tools

Wash, dry and separate microfibre cloths by task so they remain effective and can be used for longer.

Safer product use

Protect people, surfaces and indoor environments.

Always follow product labels and safety information. Never mix cleaning chemicals, maintain ventilation where required and store products securely away from food and public access.

Choose the least intensive product suitable for the task and surface. More chemical does not necessarily mean a better result.

Guidance by environment

Focus on how each space is actually used.

Offices

Prioritise shared desks, meeting rooms, kitchens and touchpoints. Encourage staff to clear personal items before service.

Retail spaces

Plan floor and glass care around customer traffic. Keep entrances dry, clear and presentable throughout trading hours.

Shared areas

Monitor lifts, lobbies, bathrooms and rubbish rooms according to occupancy rather than relying on one fixed routine.

Light industrial sites

Agree access boundaries, isolate cleaning zones and confirm which equipment may be wiped down before work begins.

Recommended frequency
