it's time to reform contract cleaning

to reform contract cleaning

Avicious price-cutting war in the contract cleaning industry has had a devastating impact on cleaners' jobs: cleaners' workloads are too high and increasing but their working hours are being cut.

As a result of the Clean Start Fair Deal for Cleaners campaign there is now a consensus that this crisis must be fixed.

51 contract cleaning companies have adopted the Clean Start Responsible Contracting Principles. They have made the commitment to improve service quality and to build better relationships with their workforce.

This is a good start but more needs to be done to build a sustainable industry, better maintained buildings and good, safe jobs for cleaners.

This crisis affects the whole industry. Contractors, owners and tenants all have a responsibility to ensure the industry is reformed.
