Nedyalka. She has been with us for a while already. The feedbacks from the customers are great and we even had new clients recommending their friends to join because of Nedyalka’s outstanding cleaning service.

Stefka. She started several years ago. Since she got the first job she has proved to be a really good cleaner (and person!). Customers are very happy with her services and she also kept some holiday replacements as permanent clients.
Congratulations and a big thank you to both of them!

Daimer Industries has launched a new environmentally-friendly cleaner designed for floor surfaces.

The Eco-Green Multi-purpose Hard Surface Cleaner makes use of a soy-based formula which is especially effective for domestic cleaning non-porous hard surfaces.

Daimer said the biodegradable cleaning solution can be used to clean the inside of a car, as well as home and office floor surfaces.

Matthew Baratta, spokesperson for Daimer, said: “Our Multi-Purpose Hard Surface Cleaner is effective and safe for use in auto detailing operations concerned with the health of their employees and the environment.

“Like our other green chemicals, this cleaning compound relies on a patented cleaning technology.”

The product is aimed at cleaning companies who want to reduce the negative impact on the environment, as well as domestic cleaners who are committed to eco-friendly principles.

Household budgets see cutbacks

February 13, 2010

Householders may be cutting back on their spending on domestic cleaning items, a new survey suggests.

According to a survey carried out by the Post Office Christmas Club, almost half (48 per cent) of female householders will be cutting back on their household expenditure.

However, just a quarter of men said they expect to cut back on their budget for household items.

The survey found that 29 per cent of people (14 million) are now feeling the financial effects of the shopping, entertaining and socialising over the Christmas period.

Despite the cutbacks on household expenditure, it seems householders may continue to devote funds to professional cleaning services.

A separate survey by 1001 found that more than half (52 per cent) of adults admit that their homes are the most dirty in the New Year.

However, instead of donning the marigolds themselves, it seems many may prefer to delegate the tasks to cleaning companies.

Around 55 per cent of people said that although they prefer to keep their homes in pristine condition for the New Year, many have no motivation to continue cleaning once the Christmas season is over.

London cleaning companies are qualified to carry out all your domestic cleaning needs.

Survey reveals 4,500 objects are left behind at dry cleaners

February 13, 2010

A new survey has found that a huge number of people forget personal belongings in their clothes when they take them to the dry cleaners.

According to a poll conducted by Credant technologies, around 4,500 devices were forgotten in clothing items taken to be washed or garments destined for regular ironing services.

The survey found that the number of items forgotten in pockets and other obscure parts of clothing when taken to be washed has halved compared to when the same poll was conducted around 12 months ago.

Despite this, researchers say they number is still “staggering”. The huge proportion of forgotten items could cause an increased administrative burden for domestic cleaners trying to complete their washing and regular ironing services.

The survey also found that important items such as wedding rings were left in clothing taken to the dry cleaners, along with more mundane, everyday objects such as lipstick, pens and stockings.

When asked to state the strangest objects left in customers’ clothes at the dry cleaners, one respondent said they found a pair of false teeth.

London domestic cleaners are your one stop shop for all washing and regular ironing services.

‘Cleaners worth more to society than City bankers’

February 13, 2010

Cleaners are more valuable to society than City bankers, a new study from the New Economics Foundation suggests.

The organisation’s A Bit Rich? report reveals that elite City bankers earning £1 million or more in bonuses destroy £7 of value for every £1 they create, while commercial cleaners create over £10 in value for every £1 they receive in pay.

Similarly, waste recycling workers generate £12 for every £1 that is spent on their wages.

Researchers reached their conclusions by measuring conventional economic returns including job creation but adding positive or negative changes in wellbeing to individuals and to society at large.

Eilis Lawlor, head of the Valuing What Matters team at the New Economics Foundation, said there needs to be a relationship between what people are paid and the value of their jobs to society.

“Pay levels often don’t reflect the true value that is being created,” she said. “As a society, we need a pay structure which rewards those jobs that create most societal benefit, rather than those that generate profits at the expense of society and the environment.”

Last month cleaners servicing Virgin trains on the West Coast Main Line went on strike to protest against low pay and poor employment conditions.

Hospital pledges to maintain cleanliness

February 13, 2010

A hospital trust has pledged to maintain its commitment to upholding excellent standards of cleanliness.

Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust said it has improved cleanliness and hygiene as part of its annual self-assessment for health watchdog the Care Quality Commission, reports the Herald.

A spokesperson for the trust said Derriford Hospital in Plymouth has shown drastic improvement within the last 12 months, when it was found to be falling short of five standards.

The trust is now compliant with all 42 of the government’s Standards for Better Health, as of October 31st this year.

A new cleaning company has been contracted to maintain standards of cleanliness across the hospital’s wards and the trust has invested up to £600,000 more per year to safeguard patients’ health, improve catering and continue its compliance with regulations set out by Care Quality Commission.

The hospital also said it has improved its training of staff in order to keep children safe on wards.

In July 2008 and in February this year, Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust failed hygiene inspections in a number of crucial areas including cleanliness and infection control, decontamination of re-usable medical devices, staff training in child protection and “well-designed, maintained environments”.

Consumers prefer green cleaning products

February 13, 2010

A new survey suggests that consumers prefer to spend their money on environmentally-friendly cleaning products and services.

According to a report by Burst Media, consumers are willing to pay more for eco-friendly products, with 90 per cent saying they have incorporated a level of greenness in their lives in some form.

More than half (59 per cent) of respondents said they would pay more for green domestic cleaning products, while 58 per cent said they would be willing to pay premium for eco-friendly laundry detergents.

Some 56 per cent of consumers surveyed said they believe the green claims made on product marketing to some extent.

However, a quarter are more dubious, with 25.1 per cent of respondents saying they do not believe the environmentally-friendly claims that are found on product marketing material.

One in ten consumers said they never believe the eco credentials that products claim to have.

The report found that overall, women are more likely to buy a product that is advertised as being green, while men lead the way when it comes to total commitment to green credentials.

Office cleaning is vital to keep desks germ-free

February 13, 2010

Office cleaning is vital when it comes to keeping work spaces free from dirt and germs, an expert has suggested.

Frances Both, health and society specialist at The Guardian, said that lurking beneath most workstations are likely to be a “hotbed of nasties”, which necessitates regular office cleaning.

She pointed out that there are typically thousands of microbes per square inch festering on desks, lingering in between key pads on keyboards and swarming over computer accessories.

The prevalence of germs in the average office is so bad that a study by the University of Arizona found that there are 400 times as many germs on the typical worker’s desk than on a toilet seat.

If left unchecked, germs could build up and pose a serious threat to health and safety, as well as bringing down the overall appearance of the office.

Working professionals are advised to clean their laptops, monitors and keyboards at least three times a week and always wash their hands after going to the toilet.

Workers could also consider hiring a contract cleaning service to conduct a thorough office cleaning.

For all office cleaning enquires, please get in touch with your nearest commercial cleaning company.
