Cloverdale Group Commercial Cleaning Services

Cloverdale provides a customised commercial service that’s right for your business

A structured workplan is central to our routine commercial cleaning services.  Some parts of your building will need daily attention, others weekly or perhaps monthly. A well designed scope of work for your facility allows attention to be given by zone at an appropriate frequency to ensure that the time spent cleaning your site gets the maximum return for effort.

Our workplans are typically broken into 3 separate workstreams, each of which has a different management technique, equipment requirement and cost profile.  Getting the balance right at the time of setting up means that we maximise the commercial value for our clients.

Our service includes:
Office Cleaning Services in Melbourne CBD
Pressure Cleaning Services in Melbourne CBD
Commercial Cleaning Services in Geelong
Office Cleaning Services in Geelong
High Pressure Cleaning in Geelong
Carpet Cleaning Services in Geelong

Understanding your needs:

The typical building has a myriad of cleaning tasks that need to be undertaken to keep it well maintained. Breaking down this complex web into managed work streams is central to Cloverdale's approach and in getting the basics right from the start.

Standard, everyday cleaner. Highly focused tasks. High productivity per sqm.

Specific tasks requiring special equipment

Set daily work plans

These reflect the basic requirements of each site. The focus here is productivity: ensuring that the fundamental, repetitive tasks are undertaken with the right equipment and focus to maximise value for cleaning hours.

Focus area

The priority day to day are the most heavily trafficked and sensitive areas- Bathrooms, Kitchens, Bins and customer facing zones.

Typical Tasks

Vacuuming, Mopping, Wiping, Scrubbing

Opportunities for efficiency and savings

A well thought through scope of works can support more time being spent cleaning.

  • Create centralised bin stations- avoid personal/under desk bins.  Small bins are very time consuming to empty and re-line – time is money, and this time can be spent performing other tasks.
  • Battery operated vacuums
  • Highly efficient wide mouth carpet sweepers

Set weekly/monthly impact plan

Rather than simply allocate cleaning hours out on a linear basis, we deliberately ringfence a portion of the contracted time and our management ensures that these hours are allocated to 1) address more specific tasks in the SOR and 2) to address areas identified as needing attention. Where possible, teams working in crews get the best results.

Our leaders get involved

Cloverdale’s local leadership team is actively involved in performing work alongside our cleaners.  Their working times are aligned to when their staff are working so that oversight and support is available.

In an after hours industry we believe that our management’s visibility with our cleaning crew is critical- they bring additional skills, oversight and quality control, but also help foster an environment for our cleaners where they know we care about their work and contribution to our business.

Disruptive work patterns

We deliberately schedule attendance by our local Supervisors to ensure that less frequent tasks that are required are attended to.

We lean heavily on our IT systems to validate this work is being performed and it is central to our Quality Assurance procedures.

Access to skills & equipment

Our local Supervisors can support better outcomes by ensuring equipment that would not normally be held on site is made available for intermittent work.

Sometimes this equipment also needs additional skills/training, which is either contributed by the local Supervisor or passed on to the everyday staff with personalised training.

Planned periodicals

Reflecting less frequent works, priced separately from the daily cleaning, and instigated by mutual agreement. Why? Because these sort of works are typically more difficult to arrange. They often require a degree of planning, an empty building & special equipment to complete.

Planning to avoid disruption

Performing these works are typically high impact on your building.  They can involve:

  • needing access when no staff or customers are on site,
  • loud equipment,
  • slip hazards,
  • the use of lifting platforms.

As a result, these works need joint planning between Cloverdale and our clients to ensure a safe and responsible outcome for all stakeholders.

Special skills, equipment and crews needed

The sort of work performed periodically for this branch of commercial cleaning can require special equipment, special skills and potential larger crews to complete work in the allotted time.

Local leadership

Our Regional Supervisors are supported by Head Office and our Regional Operations Managers. From their position, the Regional Operations Manager has more resources to draw upon when needed, most notably for occasional works when perhaps a specialist skill is needed.
Digital awareness of attendance.

Rosters are tracked automatically. Our systems show us who is on site and when they depart.

Supervising ratios

We structure our local leadership and monitor their work load to a level that means that they can realistically achieve what I clients need. Too often in our industry, cleaning companies run this ratio too loosely, meaning that management is barely superficial and focuses on resolving issues. We deliberately aim to prevent issues before they happen.

Our Supervisors work alongside our cleaners.

Our Supervisors are scheduled to work within our teams and alongside our cleaners- deliberately. This is especially important in Facility services where often a single employee can service a site for a long period. We make sure they are visited, supported, trained, know who their boss is and feel part of a larger team.

Local availability

We structure our business to maximise local availability of Supervisors to ensure they have the opportunity to meaningfully react to on the day circumstances as they arise.
