Why Hiring a Contract Cleaning Company is a Worthwhile Investment

In an increasingly health and safety conscious world, maintaining a clean and tidy work environment is essential for businesses. From improving staff wellbeing, to creating lasting impressions on clients, cleanliness plays a pivotal role in operational success, no matter your industry.


Managing cleaning in-house can be costly and inefficient. Hiring a contract cleaning company offers a solution that is both time and cost effective. Read on to discover why outsourcing your cleaning needs is a worthwhile investment for your business.

Professional Standards and Compliance

A professional contract cleaning company will employ trained professionals who adhere to industry best practices and UK health and safety regulations. Cleaning staff will be trained with specialised knowledge, and use professional-grade equipment to deliver superior results.


At Rapid Clean, we carry out monthly on-site audits so that you can trust your premises will not only look its best, but also remain safe and compliant. This includes the likes of CQC compliance for any of our customers in the medical sector. We also ensure DBS checks are carried out on all staff in the interest of safeguarding vulnerable groups, such as schools.

Cost Efficiency

Outsourcing your commercial cleaning can reduce overheads. Employing and training in-house cleaning staff, along with purchasing equipment and supplies, can quickly add up. Contract cleaning companies provide all necessary resources, saving you time and money. Plus, in the long term, maintaining a clean environment reduces wear and tear on fixtures and equipment, further lowering maintenance costs. 


With a commercial cleaning company like Rapid Clean, you also benefit from tailored cleaning packages, meaning you only pay for the services you need. Cleaning contractors will also cover sick pay, holiday pay and, most recently, the National Insurance contribution - meaning even more cost savings for your business.

Improved Employee Productivity and Morale

A clean workplace is a healthy workplace. By reducing dust, allergens, and bacteria, contract cleaning can minimise staff illnesses and absenteeism.  A well-kept environment fosters a positive atmosphere, boosting morale and creating a workspace where employees feel valued and motivated. They also won’t be distracted or de-motivated by an untidy or poorly maintained environment.

One Less Thing on Your To-Do List!

Managing in-house cleaners can take up valuable time and resource. With Rapid Clean, all of our commercial cleaning contracts include a dedicated Contracts Manager,  who is responsible for making sure your cleaning contract is running smoothly, and that we are delivering a reliable, professional service. This includes regular cleaning audits; we use an online system that enables the Contracts Manager to audit the full cleaning schedule and send an action plan back to our office, keeping you in the loop at all times.

Maintain Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Practices

Many contract cleaning companies are committed to environmentally friendly practices. Using green cleaning solutions and sustainable methods, they can help to reduce your business' carbon footprint. Aligning with these practices not only benefits the environment but improves your corporate social responsibility profile, appealing to environmentally conscious clients and customers.

Customisable Services to Suit Business Needs

One of the greatest advantages of hiring a contract cleaning company like Rapid Clean, is flexibility. Cleaning schedules can be arranged around your business hours, minimising disruption. Furthermore, services can be tailored to suit your specific requirements, whether you run an office, healthcare facility, or school. This flexibility ensures your premises receive the care they need without compromising your daily operations.
