When you decide to go with a professional cleaning company in New Zealand, do look into their staffs’ understanding of the products and chemicals that are being used, the method of undertaking the task at hand and their understanding of High TouchPoints (HTPs) and surfaces. At our cleaning service in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, we ensure our staff are trained in these aspects and beyond. They are trained to use the relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for every surface that has to be cleaned and also document their processes in order to establish a system and accountability for the work performed.
The cleaners should know how to use the right tools for the right surfaces, how to handle the various type of soiled surfaces, spillages, etc to make cleaning effective. Staff are trained in all types of cleaning – carpet, hard floor, toilets & urinals, bathroom surfaces, kitchen surfaces, glass & mirrors, window washing, HTPs, etc. They know their chemicals and the cleaning products that they use, can easily spot (identify) soiled surfaces and how to treat each specifically.
There should be checklists present that indicate all the cleaning that has been done and the processes maintained while doing so. Regular audits done through swab tests, UV Fluoro lighting or ATP testing on high touch points will reveal the true and effective cleaning results. Also using validated cleaning methods and products help to make the process more efficient and validated. For example: preventing the cross-contamination of surfaces and areas by cleaning with a clean cleaning tool for every surface.
When you know that your cleaning service provider does all the above to make the cleaning in your workplace standardised, you can rest assured that you will see the benefits in it. Some of which are – better air quality, fewer cases of gastro infections and flu, reduced absenteeism and overall increased productivity because of a sanitised environment.
