The high standards of professionalism and health and safety awareness at It’s Clean have been officially recognised, with our organisation being granted the SafeContractor approval for the 11th year running.

As proof that we are an industry-leading professional cleaning company, the SafeContractor approval goes a long way to recognising excellence and a high level of achievement in the contract cleaning industry, so naturally we are delighted to have achieved this status once again, but in truth, we were quietly confident because we know the standards expected and we know that we can achieve them.

How we achieved SafeContractor status

The SafeContractor approval recognises our work in contracting and subcontracting, i.e. how we maintain our high standards through our own employees and in sub-contractors. But also, in terms of the work we do, it covers commercial/industrial cleaning, computer room cleaning, deep cleaning, grounds and car park cleaning, office cleaning and domestic cleaning. So the scope of the approval covers the whole range of services we offer, and as an organisation the approval covers our role as a non-construction contractor, working with chemicals and hazardous substances.

In order to achieve the SafeContractor approval our systems and procedures were independently audited, so the approval team could see our standards in real time and judge us accordingly. We also had to submit documentary evidence of our health and safety procedures. This related to top-level management procedures, but also working procedures relating to health and safety issues, such as emergency responses, vehicles, employee induction, internal policies, materials usage, environmental practices and first aid etc.

We also had to submit evidence of our accident and ill-health record, as this is a good reflection of how we work and how we look after our employees. We had to submit evidence of our internal training procedures, how we control and manage our contractors and all our documented risk assessments relating to the cleaning materials we use and all our different cleaning practices.

How we pass on these high standards to you

It is fair to say that the SafeContractor approval covers every element of our business, and the achievement is a comprehensive study of our organisation, leaving no stone unturned, so we are particularly proud to achieve the SafeContractor approval, and even after 11 successful years, we do not take the approval for granted. We are well aware that the standards are very high in our industry, and that the approval is not awarded lightly. We are certainly aware of the hard work required to achieve the approval, so it acts as an annual recognition that we are working to high standards and routinely maintaining them.

You will see evidence of our SafeContractor approval status in the work we do for you, all carried out with your cleanliness standards and the health and safety of your employees in mind. But you will also see the SafeContractor recognition on our literature, our vehicles and on our social media. But ultimately, this award is as much for you as it is for us, because now you can be assured that the quality and high standards of our contract cleaning will be passed on to you.

Professional Healthcare Cleaning: Why People Trust It’s Clean Ltd as Contract Cleaners for Medical Practices and Clinic Settings

1 December 2024

Healthcare settings such as dental surgeries, GP clinics and other medical practices are busy environments with a particular need for reliable professional cleaning to very high standards. Hygiene is essential for these kinds of premises, which is why professional healthcare cleaning is so important, both for safety reasons and to create a calm and effective environment for patients. Keeping your medical practice spotless maintains a safe and professional space for both patients and staff but it relies on having a contract cleaning company in place that understands the unique requirements of healthcare cleaning. That’s where our professional cleaning for medical and dental surgeries and clinics comes in. Our clients in this sector see us as a trusted partner to ensure their practice or clinic is thoroughly cleaned, without disrupting operations or compromising patient care. At It’s Clean Ltd, we specialise in contract cleaning for healthcare clinics and understand the unique requirements of medical settings. Our expert team provides cleaning services outside core hours, ensuring your practice is always pristine when your staff and patients arrive. Why You Need Specialist Cleaners for Medical Practices In a medical setting, cleanliness is not just about appearance—it’s about safety. You need a cleaning service that understands the intricacies of maintaining a sanitary and compliant space. Here are some of the key ways we meet the needs of organisations looking for expert cleaners for medical practices: Safety First: Cleaning in a Medical Environment When hiring cleaners for a dental surgery or medical clinic, it’s vital they have experience with the safety protocols specific to healthcare environments. Your cleaning team must know how to handle equipment, sharps bins and other items properly. It’s Clean Ltd ensures our cleaners are fully trained in the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste. We work closely with you to understand the specific safety concerns in your practice, so that our cleaning solutions won’t harm equipment or jeopardize patient safety. Our team uses cleaning products that are suitable for medical settings and our teams are fully up to date with the latest best practice for maintaining hygienic healthcare premises.

We only work with clients within a 50-mile radius of our head office and this local focus that allows us to have fast response times and outstanding service levels. This is a huge advantage for clinics that feel it is important to build a good relationship with their contract cleaner and to have a supplier they can trust. Compliance with Regulations Trust is a fundamental element of any professional cleaning partnership, especially when dealing with confidential patient information. Your cleaning service should adhere to strict data protection and confidentiality regulations, such as GDPR and the Data Protection Act. At It’s Clean Ltd, we prioritise compliance and maintain strict protocols to ensure the safety and privacy of your patient records and medical data. Our team undergoes background checks, and we follow all relevant safety guidelines to ensure your clinic remains compliant at all times. Professionalism and Pride Your cleaning team will sometimes be working while your staff are still in the building, so professionalism is key. Cleaners should be uniformed, courteous and fully equipped when delivering any type of cleaning service, particularly GP surgery and health centre cleaning . Our team at It’s Clean Ltd takes pride in delivering reliable and professional healthcare cleaning. We ensure our staff are fully trained and always prepared to tackle any challenge. If sickness or other absences occur, we’ll ensure that your cleaning schedule is covered, so you never have to worry about the cleanliness of your practice.
