Calling all Cleaning Businesses
May 6, 2020
This has been a challenging time for all Cleaning businesses with so many offices closing during this pandemic and the social distancing rules needing to be met to operate safely it has hit the sector more acutely than perhaps anyone had imagined.
The light at the end of the tunnel appears as more businesses prepare for their return to the new ‘normal’ and in doing so, they want to ensure that premises are safe for those returning to them. This has created an increase in demand for specialist forms of cleaning that some cleaning businesses may not have performed before.
