Excellent feedback received for Green Mop’s Worcester branch. A deep clean for a very busy woman who was feeling guilty about not finding time for her housework. The customer, Suzanne, discussed her requirements with Claire from Green Mop Worcester, and was quickly reassured that Green Mop could deal with the cleaning, whilst she got on with her other priorities.

Suzanne from Worcester says:

“To Claire at Green Mop (Worcester),

The minute I met Claire, I really liked her. She gave an aire of knowing exactly how she was going to help me with my house cleaning problems. My lifestyle is such that housework is taking a backseat more and more often, yet at the same time I feel guilty when I only have a minute to flick a duster here and there.

Claire came to our house to look at the task (or should I say catastrophe), she was smart enough to take control immediately (someone needed to). I actually expected her to stand there saying Well errrr this needs something and maybe that could be done, you could possibly look at that etc.etc..

Each room looks like a bomb has hit it.

Claire (and her Green Mop team) arrived in due course a few days later to tackle the issues. They were extremely efficient and straight away I felt relaxed and not embarrassed about the mess we had left her to deal with, enough to leave Claire to it while I got on with my work.

I was away for some time so didnt see her before she went. What I do have to say is that on my return, my house now looks like a home that someone cares about , and I am so happy that everywhere is polished, scrubbed, cleaned and tidy. Hahaha I made myself a sandwich and found myself searching for every crumb. Respect for other peoples work you see.

So please, please, please recommend Claire at Green Mop. She is nice, she is kind and she’ll change your life for the better.

Let someone do the housework that knows how it should be done.

You know if you dont delegate youll stagnate.

Kind regards
Suzanne”

As it is Apprenticeship Week, I thought I’d tell you how the Apprenticeship scheme benefits our Green Moppers.

City College Brighton look after our Aiden. He was already employed by Green Mop, and is a bright lad. Enthusiastic and hard working, but with no formal qualifications.

So he was keen to sign up for the Apprenticeship Scheme. He get’s training while he works. So he’s earning and learning. The Assessor visits him at one of the sites Aiden works at, and works with him there.

Green Mop benefits from having a motivated worker, getting excellent training and advice. And our Green Mopper Aiden benefits from gaining useful training that will stand him in good stead for the future, along with a qualification at the end of it. We have also given him a pay rise and a promotion to Lead Cleaner as he can share his knowledge and train new Green Moppers.

It’s a win for our business, and it’s a win for our member of staff. I’d encourage all business owners to have a chat with City College to see how Apprenticeships can benefit your business and your workforce. Check their website here.

We know some cleaning companies add a premium for choosing green. But we try hard to remain competitive without compromising on our green principles.

Good old fashioned white vinegar and soda crystals are great value. And our janitorial supplier has an eco range which is brilliant and about the same price as their toxic stuff.

We buy most of it in 5 litre tubs, refilling bottles, and diluting to make it go further.

It’s not just an environmentally friendly way to work, it’s also cost effective.

And we make our own anticacterial spray with vinegar, water and tea tree oil. Natural, effective and cheap!

So, you have to know what you’re doing, but green cleaning doesn’t have to be expensive.

Give us a call to find out more.

Just received a brilliant testimonial for the commercial cleaning that the Green Mop team in Cheltenham have been doing.

The Property Services Manager for the YMCA offices at Malvern Viewn Business Park said:

“I have been using Green Mop for the last few months and am delighted with the results. The attention to detail is great. Our cleaner is friendly, very hard working and respectful as we are a busy office. They are reliable and our offices always feel fresh and dirt-free after the weekly clean. I can highly recommend them”.

Really good to hear the Cheltenham team are doing such a great job!

Green Mop offices in Brighton, Cheltenham and Worcester will close for Christmas on Friday 23 December.

We will still be checking any emails and phone messages during the holiday period. Any non urgent messages will be responded to when we return on the 3rd January.

Wishing all our team, our customers, suppliers and friends a very merry Christmas.

Claire has made a great start in the new Cheltenham branch of Green Mop. She has secured a few domestic cleaning customers in the Cheltenham area in her first few weeks of business. Cheltenham householders have responded positively, and are happy to now have an eco friendly cleaning service on their doorstep. Anouk in Cheltenham said, “Thanks for doing such a great job - the house feels great!”.

Claire has also secured a couple of commercial cleaning contracts, with great feedback. One new customer was a little bit cynical about ‘the green cleaning thing’, but was amazed at the sparkling results.

With more competitive quotes out there to be followed up, I’m really pleased with Claire’s flying start. She has lined up some Green Moppers to take on more cleaning work as it comes in, so has capacity for more domestic and commercial cleaning customers. So if you’re in the Cheltenham or Worcester areas, get in touch!

An interview Racheal did with the brilliant Julie Stanford from Essential Business - www.essential-business.co.uk

We are very pleased to announce our first franchise opening in Cheltenham.

Green Mop Cheltenham launches today with Claire Blizard at the helm. Claire used to live in Brighton, and used Green Mop’s cleaning services.

After a spell in Australia, she has returned to her roots where, she believes, the green and ethical values of Green Mop will be embraced by residents and businesses in her home town.

Claire says, “I struggled to find a ‘green’ cleaning service in the area, and thought Green Mop would be great for Cheltenham’s homes and workplaces.”

We thought it was a brilliant idea. And, with Claire’s background in business and her work ethic, I know she’ll make a success of Green Mop Cheltenham.
