Professional Cleaning Companies Are They A Cost Cutting Item?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

At this time a lot of business are tightening their belt to get through the credit crunch. Budgets are being squeezed all the time. What type of savings can we make?

One option being considered is to end the contract with the professional office cleaning in Aberdeen and do it all in-house using existing office staff. But does that actually save money in- practice?

Apart from the negative effect it would have on staff moral are there any other implications of going down this route?

One of the things you will need to consider is the need to go out and buy on a regular basis a variety of cleaning chemicals and other equipment dependant of the type of jobs being done. Who is going to take responsibility for going out to buy more cleaning products when levels run low or are all used up? This is a cost implication for time spent and time not doing their normal job! All professional cleaning service in Aberdeen will have their own preferred cleaning chemicals which their staff will have trained in using. This means they will have access to all associated safety data sheets etc from their usual chemical supplier.

If you are not going to hire an extra person to do the work then it is likely you will be utilising one of your existing admin staff members taking them away from their regular duties. This could have an extra cost effect on your business if their normal work is not being done effectively and on time.

If that person is not proficient on cleaning duties it will need to be done again an added expense and once again your office staff would not be using their skills and training in your business.

In addition the potential for damage to your office interiors increases as the person does not understand the use of some materials and the surfaces being cleaned. I recall going into one office complex and seeing that the cleaner (also employed as a book-keeper) had squirted some strong bleach on a floor and it had burnt the floor almost beyond economic repair. Are you aware of the dangers of mixing cleaning chemicals (even household strength cleaning products)? Did you know mixing some toilet cleaners together can give off poisonous Chlorine gas?

• Have you all the skills in house to develop all the health and safety guidance in-house? Or will you to pay to outsource it?
• Who would do the required risk assessment for each and every cleaning task being performed? Not Necessary… just wait and see what the Health and Safety Inspector has to say after an accident on your premises!
• Do you have copies of the COSHH data sheets for every single cleaning product your staff purchase in the event of an incident? Your local superstore will not supply them for the general household products they sell!| Can you be certain that you have the required COSSH safety data sheets for every single cleaning product your staff purchase? Your local supermarket or corner store will not be able to supply these legal documents and you will need them on site in case of an safety incident.}

If the choice was down to me as an office manager I would be asking myself the following questions

• ” Will I lose more money by taking staff away from the main business focus than I pay to use a professional cleaning company”

• ” What are the currently unbudgeted costs I will need to add on to cover for time spent cleaning the office twice, additional costs for repairs due to mistakes, increased insurance premiums and cost of compensation for breaches of health and safety including accidents to staff? ”

Personally I would come to the conclusion in most places that it would be better to hire a professional cleaning company in Coatbridge rather than take the risk of letting untrained people make mistakes. I believe it works out cheaper that way in the longer term.

Remove Tummy Tuck Scarring

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

 had always been large, as a kid, as a teenager right into later life. Then I gave birth to my two kids, well I suspect I don’t need to say a great deal more, my baggy fatty belly was NOT desirable. So, like any women would, I looked into having a tummy tuck, it was high-priced but we had savings so my husband and I determined it was worth it.

I booked myself in in with a reputable surgeon and with few troubles I had a smaller tighter stomach. The only setback I had now was the colossal mark across my tummy where the surgeon had made the incision into my skin. He said that over time this would fade out and people have various remedial abilities.

I wasn’t pleased with having to hang around; I mean what’s the point in having surgery to enhance yourself and ending up with an extra dilemma? Now then, after a few weeks I decided to do something regarding it and so I began looking for a treatment for tummy tuck scars on the internet. But, to no benefit. I put out the word in the middle of my best friends to see if one of them had an appropriate implication to eradicate tummy tuck scars.

One friend finally came back to me with a answer. She had overheard two ladies discussing in her hairdressers in relation to a Derma Roller which had evidently removed one of the ladies ‘awfull’ stretch marks and evidently worked on extra problems as well as scarring!

As quickly as I could get my hands on a PC I looked up Derma Rollers on the web and found Derma-rollers.com. They had an section about how the derma roller can be used to cure tummy tuck scars and, as it was just £99 for two derma rollers (by far cheaper then surgery) I bought a 1.0mm and a 1.5mm with a vitamin cream to give it a go.

subsequent to 5 weeks of using the 1.0mm derma roller I am exceedingly impressed. It has considerably reduced the volume of the scar and it has returned to my original skin colour. I am now starting to use the 1.5mm derma roller to maintain this healing to see if it totally removes it. I have also treated my cellulite and that seems to be vanishing too! I’m so happy my friend went to the hairdressers that day; she has helped me become aware of a treatment for tummy tuck scars that sincerely works.
