Looking for a Cleaning Company who lives up to their Promises

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

When you are looking for a new cleaning company, you want a cleaning company who live up to their promises.

At Shipshape Cleaning, we do.  We provide you with the very best service that you deserve.

We are experienced in dealing with TUPE situations and provide full management and training for TUPE staff. 

We assess your cleaning needs and tailor our cleaning service to your needs.  We do not try and offer a one size fits all service, we appreciate that your contract is individual and your needs differ from other contracts we have.

We provide extra services and make recommendations to enhance your building.  Some of these services we price accordingly, some services are free of charge, and we see them as an added bonus to your contract.

We deal swiftly with any problems you have on site.  Whatever your problem we are here to help and can provide solutions. 

We communicate fully with our clients and provide each one of them with a Communication book, regular management visits, client review meetings and an instant response to emails or phone calls.

Could this be the level of service you are looking for….?

Colour Coding in the Cleaning Industry

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Colour coding in the Cleaning Industry is not a legal requirement but a recommendation for good practice.

At Shipshape, we ensure that it is fully trained on, on all sites and with all cleaning staff.

We only use Microfibre cloths for our cleaning and have the following colour system:

  • Red – Toilets
  • Yellow – Sinks in the Washrooms
  • Green – General Areas i.e. desks, work surfaces etc.
  • Blue – Kitchen Areas

We provide all sites with these colours of cloths and the colours form part of our induction training.  We also extend this to our colour coded mop and bucket, so staff are trained to use the blue mop & bucket for the kitchen floor and the red mop and bucket for the toilet floors only.

In the cleaners cupboard we insist that the blue mop is kept in the blue bucket, once washed, and the red mop is kept in the red bucket.

The induction given to all cleaners covers this and we laminate a colour coding sign for the cleaners cupboard so they don’t forget. Refresher training on mops, buckets, cloths and chemicals is performed on their 1st year anniversary as a reminder.

We feel this is an important issue in the cleaning of our sites.  This prevents the cross-contamination and cross-infection between the washrooms & kitchen areas and by spending time with cleaners both new and inherited cleaners, this reduces any Health & Safety risks for site employees or their visitors.

Shipshape Say Farewell to Area Supervisor
