Before we list everything we can do it’s important to understand our aim is to make your business life as convenient as possible. 

We appreciate your staff are paid to concentrate on profit-driving tasks, not dusting down shelves and cleaning sinks. We try to take on as much as is reasonably possible to save you or your staff having to clean. We love the feeling of leaving a workplace clean and fresh for your staff to enjoy.

The following is an example list of Core Services basic office cleaning, which is to a higher standard than most average office specifications:

This is just an example. We build each service from scratch as each site has different requirements. We have a flexible approach and can add in extras as needed.

There are a few things Core Services operatives are unable to clean. 

These include: vehicles, windows, outdoor areas, humans or animals (yes, really), machinery, driveways, and clothing. They are unable to use bleach and cannot work at height.

This includes: door handles contact area on doors light switches keyboards mouse telephones fridge handles kettle microwave front arm rests Although not visible to the naked eye, these areas are hotbeds for bacteria and cross-contamination. In addition to this cleaning operatives should empty bins and clean floors, and take special care when cleaning kitchen and toilet areas as standard. This a basic level of service.

How can I keep my workplace safe from the mutated corona virus? The mutated corona virus is far more contagious than the previous strain. To protect your workplace double down on your existing safety measures. Here’s what we are recommending to our manufacturing clients: Split your workplace into zones such as: • Shop floor • Office spaces • Kitchens • Toilets • Warehouse/storage Whenever moving into a different zone carry out these hygiene measures: • Wear a mask • Maintaining social distancing • Wash hands or change gloves Between each zone? Yes, between each zone. Even if it’s only a few feet from the shop floor to the office? Yes! To really keep your staff safe use cleaning products designed to attack enveloped viruses. And make sure your cleaning operatives are touchpoint cleaning trained. Our operatives have always been touchpoint trained since Core Services began in 2015. If you want a cleaning service you can count on you can call us during office hours on 01384 918 451. Or you can fill in the contact us form and we will get back to you within one working day.
