💪🏻Why did we choose the line "We get things done". 👍Cleaning staff is usually the last person in the building. 🏢Whether this is in the commercial setting, or let's say if we were doing an end-of tenancy cleaning. 🗑We are the ones who turns the lights off, take the...

💪🏻It always motivates me to do more when I see my staff on site. 😔I had a chat with one of them yesterday, when we get some complaints from our client it feels as if we are doing a bad job, especially when we hardly got any complaints before! 😎This is where I come in...

🌞Happy Monday everyone! 🧹I asked the chat GPT to give me a summary of the cleaning industry in the UK. 🥷🏻Apparently the gig economy workers, the so-called "self-employed" cleaners are on the rise. This was not a surprise though as I have been encountering this. 🙄These...

💪🏻I was so proud of our team yesterday. 🧍🏻‍♀️I took my staff who agreed to cover the shift of another staff to their location so that they have the opportunity to meet her before doing the cover from tomorrow. Me or our managers always make sure to do this so that...

✨We used to schedule everyone's shift on EXCEL spreadsheet…! This is when we had like 3 staff, things were simpler back then. ⏰But once we hit more than 5 staff it was just time consuming. So we had to look for solutions! 📱We wanted something that could operate from...

Recently I met with an old colleague of mine who work as an IT technician at one of the big fintech companies in Scotland. While talking to him I realised how similar the IT departments are to cleaning teams in most of the modern companies. Both provide a service,...

Our last but not least core value is being a "problem solver". This is super important as well, because our managers cannot always be with everyone at the same time. If it is small things such as "piece of paper got stuck inside the vacuum" then my staff should be...

This was me at 17. I used to play basketball in school. I was captain in junior high school and a vice captain in high school. I was not technically skilled in any way, I started to play when I was 13. So I made sure that I exceeded in other places. I made sure that I...
