Contract cleaners are insured to ensure the safety of both the client and the company. One of the main types of insurance they carry is Public Liability Insurance. This covers any accidental damage to property that might occur during their work.Additionally, many contract cleaners also have Employers’ Liability Insurance. 

This protects the company in case any of its employees are injured or fall ill as a direct result of their work. It's crucial to check with your cleaning service if their insurance is up-to-date. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that any incidents will be properly handled.

Steam cleaning is one of the best deep-cleaning methods for carpets. It uses a mixture of hot water and chemicals to clean the dirt and debris that have sunk into the carpet. 

Having clean carpets and upholstery is essential to keep your home healthy. On average carpets and upholstery should be professionally cleaned every six to twelve months. In areas with high foot traffic, it's recommended to have carpets professionally cleaned every six months.

For less busy spaces, an annual professional clean is typically enough. This type of cleaning helps to refresh the fabrics and remove any hidden dirt. Regular cleaning ensures the longevity of your carpets and furnishings.

Steam cleaning works by heating the water past its boiling point, and it is then pushed out through a nozzle, brush or other attachment as pressurised steam. This kills dust mites and cleans dirt, mould, staph and other harmful bacteria.

The length of time it takes to do an end of tenancy clean will depend on the size of the property and how dirty the property is. On average, a 2 bed flat, with only one level, would take 2 cleaners around 5 hours. 

If your tenancy has been signed after 1st June 2019, then charges for a professional clean are no longer included in the tenancy agreement. Tenancy agreements signed after 1st June 2020 state that tenants will no longer be requested to pay for the professional cleaner by the landlords. 

The average cost of professional end-of-tenancy cleaning in the UK typically ranges from £80 to £300. The price is influenced by the size and condition of the property.

For a small flat, you can expect to pay between £80 and £150. A medium-sized house generally costs around £150 to £200, while larger homes can range from £200 to £300. The cleaning usually covers all rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and bedrooms.

There is strict legislation in place to ensure that kitchens meet the necessary hygiene standards. These can be checked at any time by the local authorities, food standards agency, trading standards and environmental health officers. If these standards don't comply with both the food safety act 1990 and the food hygiene regulations 2006, it could result in a loss of business or large fines. 

Unclean kitchens can also cause bacterial contamination, pest infestations and disease spreading, which causes harm to customers and employees.

Extractor fans can accumulate grime when used a lot without cleaning. If the filter for the extractor fan isn't cleaned properly, this can massively put possible future tenants off. 

It is recommended to clean your extractor fan every 6 months. You can either clean it yourself or hire a professional cleaner to come and clean it twice a year. This helps the fan work more efficiently, reduces the risk of fires, and improves your kitchen hygiene.

In spaces that are used less frequently, monthly cleaning might be enough. However, even these areas can benefit from periodic deep cleans to thoroughly remove dirt. Ultimately, regular cleaning maintains aesthetic appeal and also promotes a healthier workplace.

An office should ideally be professionally cleaned at least once a week. However, bathrooms and kitchens may need cleaning on a daily basis due to their frequent use. Regular cleaning helps create a healthier workspace.

Schools should be professionally cleaned to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. When schools are regularly cleaned, they provide peace of mind for both parents and administrators.
