In Blackburn, Lancashire, one of our clients is a leading tissue manufacturer Navigator Tissue UK. Find out more about how we support them with Daily Commercial Cleaning in this case study below.
Daily Commercial Cleaning
High hygiene standards are crucial for headquarters, offices and commercial working spaces. Offices typically host a large number of employees and visitors each day. With spaces, desks, and facilities constantly in shared and communal use, high hygiene standards are essential for the maintenance of a healthy environment and the mitigation of germs, bacteria, and allergens.
A healthy environment gives a positive impression to clients and visitors by showcasing the professionalism and attention to detail of the business. Research has also shown that employee morale is significantly higher in clean and healthy workspaces.
Many companies with office spaces choose to outsource cleaning tasks to commercial cleaning specialists, such as SymClean Industrial. Outsourcing cleaning and hygiene tasks is a cost-effective decision, allowing businesses to save on the resources required for in-house cleaning staff. This saving in resources goes further than cost-saving and frees up time for your operations and safety teams to focus on your core business activities, allowing the experts to provide you with results. An example of this is our client, Accrol Papers who use SymClean Industrial’s daily commercial cleaning services.

A dedicated hygiene operative from SymClean, Gemma, is assigned to the Navigator Tissue site who services the site daily, executing a comprehensive array of cleaning tasks within the headquarters. Daily commercial cleaning tasks include:
- Floor Care: All floor surfaces are vacuumed and mopped daily to ensure safety and aesthetics are attained.
- Surface Hygiene: All surfaces are disinfected and polished to remove bacteria or build-up from the working day. All high-touch surfaces and areas are targeted to minimise the spread of germs.
- Windows Cleaning: Windows are sanitised and cleaned to ensure natural light retention and enhance the overall ambience.
- Technology and Devices: Equipment such as screens, phones and keyboards are disinfected to remove germs.
- Odour Control: Regular bin emptying and odour elimination tactics ensure spaces susceptible to odours remain fresh and inviting.
Another crucial part of our hygiene strategy is to ensure each area, room and department has a detailed focus and plan. Key areas within our daily commercial cleaning processes are:
- Welcoming Spaces: Areas such as the reception and foyer regularly greet and accommodate guests. These spaces must represent the overall brand, making aesthetics essential.
- Exterior Spaces: External areas are the first impression. These spaces must be welcoming. The general outside area is regularly checked and tidied, including areas like the smoking shelter, to ensure the outside sets the tone for the visitor experience.
- Collaboration Zones: Navigator Tissue UK boasts many offices and meeting rooms. One of its largest areas is its open-plan office. These areas must be maintained daily, to a high standard to ensure hygiene and efficiency.
- Executive Spaces: Additional spaces such as the CEO and Director offices and the boardroom are sanitised and tidied, ensuring that these executive areas reflect the same level of cleanliness and professionalism as the rest of the premises.
- High Traffic Areas: High-traffic areas such as the kitchen, and conference rooms must be regularly sanitised. These areas welcome a lot of footfall and surfaces and appliances that are regularly in use, also known as high touch points, foster germs and bacteria build-up.
- Comprehensive Cleanliness: All additional areas such as product storage rooms, corridors, staircases, and landings receive thorough attention, ensuring a consistently hygienic environment throughout the premises.
Considerations:
When working with a business on a daily basis, we must make certain considerations in line with client operations. Several critical considerations, when performing daily commercial cleaning, must be kept in mind to ensure efficiency, professionalism, and the highest standards of cleanliness:
- Custom Cleaning Plan: Cleaning procedures are tailored to suit the operations of the business, such as working patterns, to ensure efficiency.
- Flexible Scheduling: Cleaning schedules are adapted to avoid interrupting critical operations or meetings, respecting the workflow.
- Mindfulness of Office Staff: SymClean Operatives ensure to be mindful of office hours and the cleaning plan ensures tasks such as ones that produce noise or obstacles are not performed during peak working times.
- Effective Cleaning Practices: Employing effective cleaning techniques and quality products ensures optimal results and maintains a hygienic environment.
- Consistent Cleaning Schedule: Adhering to a consistent cleaning schedule prevents oversight and ensures all areas receive proper attention.
- Reporting: Providing daily sign-off sheets and regular reporting fosters transparency and allows for feedback, promoting a collaborative approach to maintaining cleanliness
