As the Office Manager, maybe you've written a "Dear Office Cleaners At My Work", note... or perhaps, you've overheard some of these exchanges between your co-workers?
'...wish he'd use some deodorant...'
'...why can't he/she wipe out the bottom of the bin?'
'...It's so awkward, I don't want to chat with them'
'...they've missed that bit of paper on the floor again'
Who knows? Maybe you had one of these conversations with a co-worker today...
Dear Office Cleaners Where I Work
As people who come to our offices to work, but don't work with us - we seem to spend a huge amount of time discussing our cleaners, what they do, how they do it, and everything in between.
What's with our fascination for office cleaners anyway?
I remember back when I was working in offices (similar to the type we now clean), discussions about the cleaners and the cleaning would be a really regular thing - there'd always be someone who had something to say about the cleaners, and then once one person mentioned it, no matter how busy we all were, it'd quickly escalate and before you knew it, there'd be opinions flying left and right....
.....about the cleaning and/or the cleaner...
Anyway...
It got me thinking about that (again...), and I wondered "if people could write a letter to their cleaner, what would they say?''
And how could we make that process easier ...?
Because everything starts and ends with communication, and if you don't (or can't) communicate with your cleaners, then those little niggly frustrations can turn into great big annoyances...
Just Clean All The Things
Sure, you could always leave a note on the kitchen bench or at Reception, or even in a communication book,
...but that's so last century.... in today's busy world who wants to work with a office cleaners who manage their sites with a pen and paper?
What's important to businesses now is great service and great communication...

According to IbisWorld, the cleaning industry in Australia is a 9 Billion dollar a year industry, employing well in excess of 105,000 workers - ranging from multimillion-dollar Australian and overseas owned companies to small family operations.
And what the IbisWorld report doesn't mention, is that the cleaning industry is ferociously competitive. So if you're currently working with a cleaning company who are still operating like dinosaurs and doing everything the old-fashioned way...
....the good news is - you don't have to anymore...
Why?
For the past 6 months we have been testing our Site Management App, with incredible results...
Just imagine how easy it would be to be able to grab your phone and hit an app to communicate with your office cleaners in seconds...
- Running low on supplies? Sure, your cleaner just enters that straight into the app, and the orders are on their way to your office.
- Have extra boxes that need removing tonight? No problem.
- Want to leave a quick message? Of course...
- Wondering what tasks they did while they were there? You bet... it's all there in the app
Are You The "Cleaning Complaints Desk" At Your Office?
Have a colleague who thinks you're the "cleaning complaints desk" at your office?
Great, let's give them their own access to the app, so they can let their cleaner know exactly how they like things done...
So......what happens if your cleaner doesn't speak great English?
Would you be excited if I told you the Cleancorp app has multi-lingual capabilities...?
Here's how that works:
Messages are automatically translated into the cleaners (yes, your cleaners), native language...
How cool is that?
Oh, and then when the cleaner responds, it automatically translates their responses back into English...
Easy.
So What's a Site Management App System? (And what's in it for you?)
We know that if you're like most people, you’re swamped at work... Who's got time to find a communication book much less write in it... But your phone - well, that's probably within arms reach.
