Clean Slates managers own us
17 January 2012
In 2009 the Directors at Clean Slate offered shares to all managers within the company. We were overwhelmed when they all decided to invest their money into our company.
Since then we haven't looked back, every decision made is made by people who have a genuine interest in making Clean Slate the biggest and best commercial cleaning company in the East Midlands.
Clair Wood, Projects Manager commented, "since we have all invested in Clean Slate our meetings have become more productive. The emphasis is now on getting the right result for the business and making it a huge success".

Inclusive pricing means lower costs!
22 December 2011
In order for other cleaning companies to try and beat our very competitive prices, we find that things that we include as standard are being charged separately as "extras".
It's worth pointing out that you pay one bill with Clean Slate which includes regular:
- legionnaires disease prevention
- desk, phone and keyboard sanitising
- sanitising of door handles
- washroom sanitisation
These services are crucial to ensure a healthy workplace and can contribute to reduced staff sickness - they simply should always be included as part of any cleaning package!
It's no surprise that because Clean Slate includes these extras as standard, we are becoming the number one choice for GP's to handle their surgery cleaning and infection control.
So for top quality cleaning where the extras are included as standards, call for a free quote on 08001 577 477

Clean Slate secures yet more Medical Centres
16 August 2011
We are delighted to announce we have recently secured two more medical centres within the East Midlands which show we really are the top choice for surgery cleaning in the region.
The two new surgeries join our ever expanding portfolio of medical centres where our expertise and professionalism really shows through. Here at Clean Slate we offer them a huge welcome and we look forward to providing noticeably better cleaning when we get started later this month.
At Clean Slate we have been doing a lot of work in this sector and we are already prepared for the impending new infection control legislation due to come into force in 2013. No wonder so many medical centres are choosing Clean Slate to provide them with noticeably better cleaning for them.
Russell Delaney our Sales Director says 'We are delighted to have added two new surgeries to our portfolio. It's great to see how Clean Slate's infection control procedures are re-assuring GP's across the region that their surgery really is clinically clean.'
As a point to note we use the same techniques for cleaning offices, showrooms, schools, shops and factories as we do in medical centres so we are the only choice for making sure every environment is clinically clean!
Expansion to our fleet
8 July 2011
With our constant commitment to improve, Clean Slate is pleased to announce the arrival of two new company vehicles. Clean Slate now has a vehicle dedicated solely to our sales team and we have also replaced one of our existing window cleaning vans.

Significant IT investment to keep us ahead

We are pleased to confirm a £20,000 investment in new IT infrastructure with our ICT partner, Grade Computer Solutions of Derby. This will ensure we can continue to improve our service as we grow.

A brilliant year
1 January 2010
We are delighted to announce that 2009 has been a record year for Clean Slate - we have grown by 21% during what has been a very challenging economic period.
Over the last 12 months, we have simply tried to carry on doing what we have always done - offer an excellent (and continuously improving) service at a fair price. We are deeply grateful to our loyal customer base for staying with us over this period - and to our fantastic cleaning team for making it so hard for our customers to ever want to leave us!
A record reward
24 December 2009
One of our ways of saying "thank you" to our loyal cleaning team is to pay a reward each Christmas. This year, because Clean Slate is bigger than ever before, we have paid out more than ever before!
Whilst the amount we pay wouldn't keep a banker happy, it is always nice to reward our staff with payment size objectively based on individual performance.

Room for more expansion - February 2009
We are delighted to announce our office move to cope with our continued expansion.
Our new premises mean that no one has to hot desk any more, we can store more stock than before and we no longer have to rent separate premises for our vehicles.
