OUR INTELLIGENT APPROACH

Substantiative improvements in cleaning costs are not achieved through marginal gains in product pricing. They can, however, be obtained through the application of a carefully considered cleaning product strategy, that ensures you optimise efficiency and get the best cleaning outcomes. At Wightman & Parrish we describe this as our intelligent approach - so let's explore this a little further.

  • Record water usage and the company is committing to rain water harvesting for washing vehicles
  • Use recycled plastic and cardboard for packing deliveries
  • Donate furniture and equipment to local charities for re-use
  • Install 100% LED lighting throughout the premises – Warehouse and Transport office is completed; the company is considering an office refurbishment and this will be part of the process to replace with LED

THE TRUE COST OF CLEANING

Did you know, under 10% of a company’s total cleaning costs are attributed to consumables? In fact, only 1-2% is cleaning equipment! The remaining spend is a result of labour costs.

At Wightman & Parrish we look at your entire cleaning strategy to address your true cost of cleaning. This means ensuring you get the right products, which can:

  • Reduce staff absence
  • Improve efficiencies
  • Increase productivity.

According to the Association of Public Service Excellence, just a 2% reduction in cleaning staff absence can save a company £20,000 (per £1,000,000 turnover). By choosing products and solutions that can dramatically improve sanitary conditions in the workplace will prevent the spread of infection and reduce absences. We can also recommend ergonomic equipment which can reduce musculoskeletal problems which account for (according to the HSE), 35% of days lost in 2016/17.
