Being an ethical employer with a fair wage policy, this doesn’t affect us. Cleaning is hard and valuable work, and we pay what the market will bear.
I think all our Green Moppers deserve much more than we can afford to pay them, but we do what we can. Many cleaning companies pay minimum wage and have staff on temporary contracts, avoiding holiday pay and so on.
So they may have lower costs than us, but our staff stay with us longer and perform better as a result of being paid a fair wage. They have holiday pay as well as rewards for good and consistent work.
We think this means our customers getter better value, as well as knowing that they’re using an ethical company which reflects well on their business.
