'Office cleaners help maintain professional image'

Businesses have been advised to ensure that their working spaces are always kept in a clean and tidy condition.According to Anyclean, first impressions are crucial so a messy and untidy office could easily scare clients away.

Disorganised offices also present a very unprofessional image and can give the impression that the business is similarly disorganised and chaotic.

Firms were urged to clean up piles up paper that may be scattered across desks and floors, and schedule specific times when they can maintain orderliness and hygiene in the office.Alternatively, businesses can call on London office cleaning companies to take on the task of cleaning the work space.

Cleaning companies are typically staffed with experienced and qualified professionals, who are trained to carry out office cleaning chores with maximum efficiency.

"If you are too busy to clean the remainder of the office then it may be time to dish out a few pounds and have an office cleaning company come in and clean the rest of the office," the specialists said. "It will pay off in the long run."

Scheme launched to improve hospital cleaning

A new scheme has been launched to improve the cleaning standards of hospitals across Northern Ireland.

The Back to Basics initiative will be piloted in four wards to help raise hygiene standards and prevent infection, reports One Complete Solution

The scheme, which is backed by the Northern Ireland Executive health minister Michael McGimpsey, may subsequently be rolled out in other hospitals across the country if the pilot proves to be a success.

Cleaning agencies will be advised to devote meticulous attention to the cleaning of surfaces and hospital equipment to ensure a thorough and comprehensive clean.

Mr McGimpsey said measures designed to drastically improve the cleaning and hygiene standards of hospitals are already underway.

"Last year I announced a major £9 million investment aimed at fighting 'superbugs' such as MRSA and improving cleanliness," he commented. "This included initiatives such as unannounced hygiene inspections."

The initiatives introduced last year include additional funding to set up rapid response cleaning teams at all hospitals and the launch of a regional hand hygiene campaign to encourage all health care staff and visitors to wash their hands.

Ambulance service pledges to raise cleaning standards

East Midlands Ambulance Service has pledged to improve its levels of cleanliness following a poor audit performance.

The ambulance provider, which serves north Lincolnshire, was found to have less than satisfactory hygiene in a Care Quality Commission report and has promised to improve its cleaning practices.

East Midlands Ambulance Service was given 14 days to increase hygiene standards in order to minimise the risk of infection.

Paul Phillips, chief executive of the East Midlands Ambulance Service, said the organisation has already made significant improvements since the last audit.

"I was disappointed to learn the CQC's inspection identified four vehicles where we are still falling short on infection prevention and control standards," he said.

"That situation is not acceptable and since the inspection we have redoubled our efforts with our deep cleaning teams, investing almost £300,000 additional funds in this area."

Mr Phillips added that 495 ambulances are compliant with regulations relating to availability of hand hygiene facilities and clean internal surfaces.

A Back to Basics scheme was recently launched in Northen Ireland to help improve hospital cleaning standards across the region.
