Recurring cleaning

Maintenance cleaning in Wuppertal

The same people, the same schedule, a written scope of work. You shouldn't notice that cleaning happens — you should notice when it doesn't.

Maintenance cleaning is recurring cleaning during normal operations: daily, several times a week or monthly, to a fixed plan. What separates it from a deep clean is not thoroughness but predictability — what happens when is agreed in advance, and can be checked afterwards.

Maintenance cleaning or deep cleaning?

Both are building cleaning, both are needed — just at different moments.

How often does it need cleaning?

No single number fits every building. Three things decide:

1

How many people walk in each day

An office with eight desks and a practice seeing eighty patients a day do not get dirty at the same rate — even at identical floor area.

2

What the rooms are used for

A meeting room booked twice a week needs a different rhythm than a kitchenette or a workshop. Washrooms never follow square metres anyway — they follow the number of users.

3

What the floor is made of

Carpet holds dirt and forgives longer intervals. Pale hard flooring shows every day whether it was cleaned yesterday — or wasn't.

Five times a week is not 260 visits

We work the schedule out against the real calendar, not a monthly average. Easter moves, public holidays land on a different weekday each year, a leap year adds a day. Five times weekly, with holidays deducted, gives:

  • 2026 · 253 visits
  • 2027 · 254 visits
  • 2028 · 250 visits
  • 2029 · 250 visits

The same schedule, four different numbers. Costing a flat 21.7 visits a month flatters the year — and you only find out when the hours don't add up.

What maintenance cleaning covers

The binding scope is in your scope of work. This is the usual frame.

Floors and carpets

Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming; care according to the covering. Coatings are maintained, not stripped away.

Ceilings, walls, doors and windows

Hand marks on doors and light switches, interior glass, reachable window surfaces.

Furnishings

Desks, shelves, chairs, waste bins, kitchen units. What gets used gets cleaned.

Washrooms

WCs, basins, taps, mirrors, tiles. Disinfection where it belongs — not everywhere.

Consumables

Soap, paper, towels: checked and refilled before the dispenser runs out.

Stairwell and entrance

The building's first impression — and the area that gets dirty again fastest.

What we do differently

Anyone can clean. The difference is whether you can trace what you paid for.

A scope of work, not a lump sum

Every item stands on its own: area, task, quantity, frequency, minutes. You see what you are paying for — and we see when we have miscosted it.

Quality control by random sample

Inspected items are drawn, not chosen, with at least one from every area. Anyone who picks what to inspect always finds it clean.

Proof on the noticeboard

A QR code in the building. Scan it and you see when it was last cleaned — no login. No names, no account, just the date.

Hours that are evidenced

Clocking in and out on site, with location. The hours on your invoice are the hours that were worked.

How to recognise a sound quote

Should be in there

  • A written scope of work — what, where, how often
  • Named staff rather than changing faces
  • One contact person, with a name and a direct line
  • A price that follows a site visit

Should raise an eyebrow

  • A per-square-metre price with no site visit
  • “Cleaning as required” with no fixed schedule
  • An hourly rate that cannot cover the sector minimum wage plus employer contributions — somebody is subsidising it, and it is not the contractor
  • No statement of who supplies materials and consumables

Common questions

Do you bring your own materials and equipment?

Yes. Materials, machines and consumables are ours unless agreed otherwise. If you would rather supply them — because you require particular products, for instance — we record that in the contract and take it off the price.

When does the cleaning happen?

Normally outside your business hours, early morning or evening. The time windows are in the contract. Night, Sunday and public-holiday work is possible but carries premiums — we name those beforehand, not on the invoice.

How long am I tied in?

We discuss that at the site visit. We prefer long relationships, because a settled team is half the quality difference. But we don't hold anyone to notice periods they can't see coming: termination windows are in the contract, and we remind you in good time.

What does it cost?

It depends on area, frequency, flooring and access. Our price calculator gives you a defensible range in two minutes; the binding price follows the site visit.

What you get

  • Employed, trained staff — no bought-in agency labour
  • Public liability cover for every visit to your premises
  • One named contact, from enquiry to sign-off
  • A fixed monthly price after the site visit, with no add-ons
  • Recorded hours you can look at
  • An answer to your enquiry within 24 hours
