Wake Up From Your Cleaning Nightmare

---

Most of us are aware of the risks related with an unclean office, but do you know what causes these germs to fester and travel around your office?

A survey conducted by a global hygiene company, SCA, studied 1,000 workers and their attitudes towards hygiene in the office. The conclusion exposed that almost 66% of UK office workers wished their place of work was cleaner and more hygienic, with only 25% of workers rating there office as hygienic.

In addition, more than 10% of office workers felt their health had been compromised because of poor office hygiene standards. Subsequently, these employees have time of work sick which, in turn, affects the day to day running of the organisation.  

The survey delved deeper to discover some of the worst culprits for poor hygiene. 65% of women aspire to a cleaner workplace, compared to only 50% of men. Women are also more ‘hands on’ when it comes to tackling hygiene with 61% participating in some form kind of office cleaning.

THE MOST UNHYGIENIC WORKPLACE GHOSTS YOU NEED TO BUST THIS HALLOWEEN

• Sneezing without using a tissue – 42%
• Leaving dirty cups and plates around the office – 36%
• Not washing their hands after using the bathroom – 36%
• Not flushing the loo – 33%
• Cluttered desks covered in rubbish – 23%
• Not emptying full bins – 18%
• Eating at their desk – 14%
• People not disposing of sanitary protection products properly – 13%

HOW DO WE SCARE YOUR GERMS AWAY?
Many of our clients tell us how before they used Tatry Group they had a succession of cleaning companies who didn't care about quality as much as we do. Here are three common problems our clients expedience before switching to us, and how we solve them.

Zombie-like Service
One of the main complaints we’ve heard from our clients about other commercial cleaning companies is that they don’t respond quickly to an emergency cleaning situation that needs immediate attention.  We guarantee that within two hours of the time you contact us regarding a problem, we will respond with either a complete resolution of your concern or a detailed plan for quick action.  ​

Spooktacularly Bad Cleaning
Another common complaint we hear about some of our competitors is that the quality of the cleaning work itself is poor.  Common problem areas include: floors, washrooms and receptions.  Each location that we clean is inspected by management on a regular basis to make sure the quality of the cleaning is up to our high standards.  No Tricks, Just Treats! 

Scared of Communication
You may never see a large cleaning company's decision maker affecting your service. They only communication you may receive will be from local managers with limited flexibility to make decisions, and changes to improve service. However, we are a local cleaning company servicing organisations in Milton Keynes, Bedford, Northampton and surrounding areas. All important decisions are made locally, and we pride ourselves on a truly flexible and tailed approach to your cleaning service. Communication with senior management is accessible to all our clients and local managers are only one step removed from the owners of the company.  We all live and work in the same community as our clients, therefor, there’s a lot at stake for us. Our reputation in the community is extremely important to us, and we protect it by seeking every opportunity to better serve our clients.

From everyone here at Tatry Group, we witch you a happy halloween! (sorry for all the puns)
