As long as people have had to leave their homes to work (whether in an office or somewhere similar), somebody else has had to come and do the cleaning work. It’s just the way life goes. If two or more people are stuck in a room for quite a few hours every single working day, then it’s inevitable that they’ll make some sort of mess. At the one end of the spectrum, tidy people create a small mess: shed skin and fabric particles that turn into dust, the small amounts of waste (or recycling!) in the appropriate bins. At the other end, you’ve got those messy pups who seem to leave a trail of empty crisp packets, discarded jumpers, spilt coffee and more behind them. You can probably name names in your office!
It could be tempting to expect everybody to clean up after themselves, especially if you’re running a smaller organization. If everybody does their bit, the place will stay clean, right? Well, maybe not. OK, it is fair enough with things like dirty cups in the canteen room and coffee spills. Things get a bit harder when more needs to be done. Even if it’s possible for certain things to be cleaned quickly and easily by your staff members without taking too much time out of actual core work, there is always that one person who really doesn’t have time to set the dishwasher going or take the wastepaper basket out to the skip outside or change the toilet roll because they’re simply too busy… and there’s that person who ends up doing the cleaning, with lost productivity and/or resentment as a result.
There are also things that need to be done at every workplace that aren’t really anybody’s mess but still need to be done – think about vacuuming the carpets, for example. Or topping up the soap in the toilets or removing the cobwebs from the corner of the conference room. You don’t pay your staff members for this sort of thing, and it takes far too long during your normal work day, especially when there’s a big deadline coming up.
Outsourcing Your Office Cleaning Work
It makes things a lot easier when you want a clean office to get someone in from outside to do it. It saves resentment and probably saves you money – and you end up with a cleaner office as well. This is where Thracian Cleaners comes in. We’re professional office cleaners, so we know what we’re doing. Unlike your staff members, we have the time and equipment needed to get your workplace up to scratch, properly comply with health and safety requirements, and look good. We probably know how to clean things better than your staff members do; no offence intended, but it’s probably fair to say that your people are trained in other things like IT or sales, whereas we’re trained in how to clean things very, very thoroughly.
This is why outsourcing your office cleaning work makes sense. Having your own full-time janitor on your payroll can be a hassle, especially if you’re a small to medium-sized company. It’s much more cost-effective to call in a professional who’s already sorted out all the employment issues, holiday pay, training and equipment. Instead, when you contact us and book regular cleaning, you’ll get a hard-working and fully-trained janitor with all the right equipment. The same idea applies, but more so for one-off cleaning jobs like tidying up after a renovation.
We are used to catering to a wide range of businesses and can provide you with tailor-made janitor and cleaning services. Whether you need regular services, obtaining janitorial supplies, full-on deep cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning services, we’re here to deliver what you want when you want it.
How It Works
The first thing that needs to happen is to contact us and let us know that your office needs a good tidy. Perhaps you want a regular cleaner or something on a one-off basis: specialist computer cleaning or moving-in cleaning, for example. We’ll arrange a time to meet with you at your workplace to see exactly what you need and want, and we’ll give you a quote so you know what you’re in for. After that, you don’t have to do anything except maybe give the key to your janitor so he or she can get into the building after hours (or at the weekend or whatever you prefer) and clean it while you’re not there. OK, you’ll have to pay us once the invoice comes through, and we’re more than happy to arrange monthly invoicing for our cleaning work if this suits how you do things in your business.
We also cater to the needs of not-for-profit organisations, sports clubs, places of worship, schools and daycare centres. We work with you to arrange the right schedule for you and your specific situation – we do things the tailor-made way. To take one example, a sports club that gets a bunch of people using the bathrooms and leaving mud on the floors once a week won’t need to be cleaned every day, whereas a kindergarten where kids play on the floor often will need daily cleaning. We pride ourselves on listening to our customers and will do things your way.
When one of our janitors or other cleaners comes to your business premises, he or she will bring all the necessary equipment. You don’t have to provide a thing – not even a duster! We’ve got everything from the most specialised anti-static vacuum for cleaning electronic equipment to the brushes for cleaning around taps. However, if you’ve already invested in some cleaning equipment, such as a vacuum cleaner, and you’ve got this squirrelled away in your cleaning cupboard, AND you want us to use your gear, we’ll do so happily. We’ll also allow for it on the invoice.

Although we offer a wide range of services, we ensure that all our team members are fully trained in that area. We also have full insurance coverage over all our work, ensuring you’re protected and can have that extra level of peace of mind. Our office cleaning team members are trustworthy, and we put them through a police vetting check and an English language proficiency test before training them very thoroughly. After all, we want the best people for our team, just like you do.
