Most businesses use cleaning and hygiene products daily to maintain the cleanliness of their spaces. But how often does your business carry out a cleaning and hygiene review? Find out what a cleaning and hygiene review is and three reasons you should carry out one out this year.

What is a cleaning and hygiene review?

Keeping business premises clean, well-stocked, and on a regular cleaning schedule is essential for maintaining an efficient and hygienic environment. A structured cleaning and hygiene review ensures that consumables are managed effectively, preventing unnecessary costs and ensuring your operations run smoothly.

Reviews are carried out by cleaning and hygiene specialists, aiming to assess products in different areas of your business – including washrooms, kitchens, and other areas – to reduce the number of products used and to help improve cleaning techniques.

Three reasons to book a cleaning and hygiene review

Reduce your cleaning and hygiene costs

During a cleaning and hygiene review, the type of products you use are scrutinised to look for improvements. The aim is to consolidate the chemicals and products used for cleaning, enabling you to use one product for multiple uses and reduce your costs!

Products such as hygiene papers, which are used frequently in high volume, are also analysed to see where costs can be reduced. For example, by recommending switching to a product which has a lower amount per use, this can result in an overall lower hygiene cost.

Help you save time

If you’re using six different products to clean one room, swapping and changing between each product can be tiresome and take more time than necessary. By consolidating your cleaning chemicals, you can reduce the number of products you’re using and choose one product for multiple tasks.

Reviewing your cleaning techniques can also help save time. For example, if you are mopping a floor compared to using a specialist floor cleaner, you could be taking up to 10 times as long! A specialist would give recommendations on the cost vs. time savings to help you make informed choices to improve the efficiency of your cleaning processes.

Protect the environment

Environmental impact and sustainability are at the forefront of many business’ plans, so ensuring you are one step ahead and in line with legislation is key to future proofing your business and creating a culture with the environment in mind.

As part of cleaning and hygiene reviews, recommendations can be made to switch products to a more sustainable range – such as refillable products or fully recyclable solutions.

Help reduce single use plastic and contamination from cleaning products by assessing your range to protect the environment from further negative impact.

Cleaning and hygiene reviews can transform your business by empowering you to make more informed choices to help improve the efficiency of your cleaning; reduce ongoing costs of your product ranges; understand the impact of products on the environment and how you can help create a better future.
