Appreciation grew from consumers and business owners alike in the industry’s role in keeping people and places safe, requests for anti-viral fogging exploded and enhanced cleaning regimes were implemented and yet even though flu season is upon us and people can still catch COVID and other infections, a vast majority of businesses have slipped back into their old ways when it comes to cleaning and hygiene and standards have slipped.

It goes without saying that a worldwide pandemic should not be the reason for enhanced cleaning, anti-viral fogging and frequent deep cleans, this should have been the norm before COVID and should still be the norm now.

Research shows that clean offices improve attendance in the workplace and reduces level of sickness and customers will only shop once or dine / drink once in a shop, restaurant or bar that is seen to be unclean. Hotels too need to have enhanced cleaning regimes in place if they are to expect good reviews and high occupancy rates.

The spotlight might be off COVID now, but the spotlight should always be on CLEANING.

The post Spotlight on Cleaning appeared first on Unique Cleaning Services.

It is estimated that by the end of this year, some 4.3 million people will be employed within Travel & Tourism which is 70,000 more than in 2019 and the research conducted by the British Cleaning Council found that there would also be 93,000 more jobs in the cleaning, waste management and facilities sectors generated by 2024.

Cleaners are considered the invisible workforce and are rarely noticed yet they contribute so much for the health and wellbeing of staff and customers alike, creating a clean and hazard free environment and now more than ever company images need to be a ‘clean’ image.

Looking for a career within the hospitality cleaning sector, we have job opportunities for you.

We are currently recruiting for the following roles in Central London and offer good rates of pay above minimum wage, flexible shifts and career progression:-

• Kitchen Porters
• Night Cleaners
• Full and Part Time Cleaning Operatives
• Cleaning Supervisors

If you have previous commercial cleaning or kitchen porter experience, we want to hear from you.  Email your CV today to j.wiseman@unique.org.uk or call 02086694377 to find out more.

The post Rise in Jobs Within The Hospitality Sector appeared first on Unique Cleaning Services.

A skills shortage has been seen for years across these sectors and by 2019 this was widely accepted as a labour crisis, add to that that almost 300,000 people in the hospitality sector have left their jobs since March 2020 including cleaning operatives, kitchen porters and housekeeping personnel and you can see why cleaning companies and hospitality businesses are struggling to find staff.

Migrant workers made up to 37% of the English cleaning workforce pre COVID and Brexit but with new sponsor licences being required to employ from outside the UK now along with a minimum salary of £25,600, this reduces the pool of candidates available for jobs that do not pay this.

The national living wage in the UK is £8.91 yet based on a person working 37.5 hours a week, they would need to be being paid in excess of £13.00 an hour to be eligible for the immigration system and with there still being a stigma to many Brits of working as a cleaner. the question remains how do cleaning companies ensure they can continue to recruit effectively allowing them to deliver the best service possible?

If COVID has shown us anything, it is how important cleaning is and what a value professional cleaning is to be businesses and society as a whole and that is why here at USS we educate and encourage our clients to value the service that our operatives deliver allowing us to pay above the national living wage when possible.

In addition to this, we offer part time vacancies in addition to full time, hours and shifts that suit individual circumstances, a range of training programmes and personal development, an employee of the month and refer a friend scheme and promotion from within. In fact lots of our operatives have gone on to be supervisors and on some occasions beyond that to managerial positions.

If you’d like to find out more about working for USS, we’re recruiting now so why not get in touch to discuss what opportunities are available.

The post Impact Of COVID And Brexit When Recruiting For The Cleaning Sector appeared first on Unique Cleaning Services.

Many companies are now offering ‘hybrid’ working but with this comes desk sharing and so it is more important than ever to ensure frequent and enhanced cleaning is taking place in the office especially as lots of people are still feeling nervous about restrictions being lifted.

Additional foot flow for the retail, hospitality and leisure businesses that service the office workers also means keeping their premises clean has got to be top of the agenda too.

So whatever your business, with restrictions being lifted but COVID still very much here to stay a focus on cleaning is essential if your business is to succeed and USS is here to help you do just that.

From daily office cleaning to periodic anti-viral fogging, computer and telephone cleaning, from carpet and upholstery cleaning to internal and external window cleaning including hard to reach areas and from front of house to back of house cleaning, we’ve got it covered.

If you’d like to find out more about our services, call the office today on 02086694377 and a member of our team will be happy to help.

It’s important that hotel management consult with industry experts from the start when planning their cleaning regimes and in fact USS often work with our hospitality clients prior to them even opening, this has certainly been the case during the past 12 months where we have worked closely with hotels to ensure they were ready for when they could open their doors again.

Here at USS, we not only pride ourselves on our reputation but we are also proud to say that we work hand in hand with our customers tailoring our service to best match their requirements, offering specialist services where needed and ensuring the chemicals and materials we use are suitable for regular use and are tough on pathogens but gentle on the skin.

Our contribution to our hospitality sector clients plays a part in exceptionally high audit results and occupancy levels.  If you would like to find out more about our full range of hotel cleaning services, call the office today on 02086694377.

Restrictions for inside drinking and dining are due to be lifted on Monday but with many countries still on the amber and green lists, people still working from home and new strains of the virus a concern, the concern is how busy will hotels and restaurants be especially in city centres like London.

Add to that the impact that Brexit has had on recruitment within the sector and the increased costs of materials and it’s a lot for business owners and managers to overcome and that is why we want to help in any way we can.

USS want to lighten the load for our hospitality client’s by adapting our services to meet what could be ever changing requirements and by keeping our prices at pre-COVID level plus offering 10% of the invoice value until September for any new clients.

Already this week prior to hotels even reopening, we have heard reports of suppliers increasing their fees by over 5% and insisting on service levels remaining the same as was being delivered in 2019 but not USS, we want to work in partnership with our client’s tailoring the services we provide to add value whilst still being in line with budgetary expectations and occupancy levels.

Our range of services include:- Specialized Anti-Viral Fogging, Sanitization and Deep Cleaning, Specialist Window Cleaning including Reach and Wash, FOH and BOH Cleaning, Canopy Cleaning, Marble and Granite Renovation, Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning and Care and Kitchen Porters.
