Following recent legislation, all hospitals, surgeries and care homes are now required to meet cleaning standards regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Surgeries that fail to meet these standards are immediately condemned. So, it’s more important than ever that healthcare premises are employing cleaners who are managed to meet these standards day-in, day-out. A reason that more and more surgeries are looking to Betterclean.

By training all staff to The British Institute of Cleaning Science’s standards and employing a surgery specific cleaning management system, Betterclean businesses can offer a service that helps ensure premises are CQC compliant.

It’s a move that’s paying off for all Betterclean franchise owners. In fact, since the CQC standards came into force in April, Sylvie Botequelen’s Brighton-based business has taken on five new surgeries alone. An increase in demand that has been mirrored across the UK – from Southend to Plymouth, Swansea to York.

Sylvie says: “Practice managers just love our site folder and our common sense cleaning management system. Previously many of the surgeries had employed their own cleaners or had contracts with small local companies who don’t have the systems in place to clean to the standards the CQC are now enforcing. Betterclean can – and that puts us in great position within the market. We’re already talking with more surgeries about offering our services.”

The training and equipment necessary to offer this service are included as part of the Betterclean business model. It also includes a business system that’s designed to make the business owner’s role as easy as possible and helps manage staff timekeeping and payment, as well as project management tools designed to ensure excellent service standards.

It’s for all these reasons that the Betterclean franchise opportunity is so attractive to professionals up and down the country who are looking to run a profitable business and discover the freedom and satisfaction that comes with self-employment.
