Commercial Cleaning rates are the pricing structures put into place by Cleaning Companies. They can vary from company to company, and are dependent on many factors, including your geographical location, the frequency of cleans and the hours spent on each clean. Also the difficulty of recruitment in any given area which may mean having to pay a higher rate.

For a typical office environment in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire; the price would be between £17 and £23 per hour. This would include materials, labour and equipment. See our blog on the average cost for Office Cleaning for more information.

Keeping your office or business premises clean is just as important as keeping a clean home. There is a duty of care to each employee that working conditions are clean and comfortable. Hiring a commercial cleaning contractor leaves you free to take care of business!

Most commercial cleaning services will be able to clean a variety of different premises. Even if your employees keep their work spaces clean and tidy, it may be necessary to schedule a regular clean, or at the very least an occasional deep clean, as dirt can build up over time. Most contractors will be happy to work outside of office hours, even on the weekends. Deep clean rates will be nearer to £30 per hour mark, depending on the type of work.

It’s imperative to keep speciality facilities clean. For instance, hospitals, GP surgeries, dental surgeries and care homes all have to comply with CQC standards. This type of cleaning can be outside of the scope of a private individual, so hiring a contract cleaner with specialist knowledge is key.

Regular cleaning will help keep your business pristine. When you hire a contract cleaner, they’ll provide you with a schedule of cleaning that works best for you and your business, which of course is dependent on the type of business you run.

You should expect your cleaning contractor to provide cleaning materials and equipment. You should expect them to be using colour coded mops, microfibre cloths and buckets. Consumable supplies include paper, soap and bin bags which are charged as an extra and which can be ordered through Brightr.

Cleaning contractors such as Brightr provide all the products and equipment necessary for each and every job, even the specialist ones. As there are regulations and standards to adhere to, particularly in the case of CQC, we’re well equipped to deal with every stage of the cleaning process. Each of our cleaning staff are vetted, and undergo a rigorous training programme, so know exactly what products or chemicals to use for each job.

Your business might be on smaller premises where storage of janitorial products and equipment could be problematic. Hiring a contract cleaner who provides all of this makes life easier, and eliminates the hassle of re ordering supplies, or maintaining expensive cleaning equipment.

There are many reasons why it’s important to keep your office clean, aside from first impressions! Many companies try to cut costs by doing their own cleaning, and with the job falling to one or multiple people, standards can often slip when they’re too busy with their desk job to think about tidying and cleaning.

As a business, you want to impress all who visit your premises, so ‘unclean’ can often portray an ‘unwelcome’ kind of vibe. Don’t be caught in the trap before your guests even set foot over the threshold! If you want customers and clients through your door, then you have to ‘invite’ them in to clean and well-maintained offices. They’ll be sure to return if you create a good first impression.

As there is a duty of care to employees, health and safety plays a major part. And part of health and safety is to make sure that workers are comfortable and safe in their working environment. Studies carried out have found that desks and workstations are often dirtier than the toilets, containing up to 400 times the bacteria than is found on the average toilet seat!

Phones and keyboards are the biggest culprit for the spread of germs and viruses. Home to over 25,000 microbes per square inch, phones need regular cleaning, particularly when you compare them to toilet seats which house only 49 microbes per square inch. Startling statistics!

Cold viruses can survive for up to 72 hours on hard surfaces and these bacteria levels will only multiply throughout the day if left un-sanitised.

The best way forward to ensure a more sterile environment is to undertake regular cleaning. Hiring a professional contractor will take that hassle away from you. Contractors like Brightr will supply all products and equipment needed for a thorough and professional job, making your office space not only clean to the eye, but hygienic and sanitary too.

A commercial deep clean is an intensive cleaning process aimed at thoroughly sanitising and refreshing business or commercial premises. The key elements include:

1. Surface Cleaning and Sanitisation: High-contact surfaces such as door handles, desks, countertops, light switches, and keyboards are cleaned and disinfected to eliminate germs, bacteria, and dirt.
2. Floor Cleaning: All floors are swept, mopped, or vacuumed, with specific treatments for carpets (deep extraction), tiles (scrubbing and polishing), and hard floors (buffing and waxing) to ensure thorough cleanliness.
3. Washroom Sanitisation: Toilets, sinks, urinals, mirrors, and partitions in washrooms are scrubbed and disinfected. Floors are cleaned and deodorised, and soap dispensers and hand dryers are thoroughly cleaned.
4. Air Vent and Duct Cleaning: Air vents and ducts are cleaned to improve indoor air quality, removing dust, mould, and allergens that can accumulate over time.
5. Kitchen and Breakroom Cleaning: All kitchen and breakroom surfaces, appliances, and floors are degreased and sanitised, ensuring a hygienic space for food preparation and dining.
6. Window Cleaning: All windows and glass surfaces are cleaned to a streak-free finish.
7. Waste Disposal: Proper waste removal and recycling practices are an essential part of the process, leaving the environment clean and tidy.

These elements ensure a healthy, safe, and welcoming environment for employees and visitors.
