In busy commercial spaces, a floor isn’t just something people walk across; it’s part of the experience. Whether it’s a hotel lobby, a superstore, or the entrance to a retail store, the condition of your floor sends a message before anyone even looks up. It sets the tone. When that floor is scratched, stained, uneven or dull? That message isn’t always a good one. At CleanKing, we help businesses get ahead of that problem with a technique called diamond grinding. A highly effective way to restore and resurface hard floors without the cost or disruption of a full replacement. So, what exactly is it? Diamond grinding uses industrial-grade diamond abrasives to gently strip away the damaged top layers of a hard floor. It’s not about masking imperfections with polish or temporary sealants; it’s about precision. We grind back the wear, … Continue reading →

When graffiti turns up on your property, it’s not just an eyesore – it’s a problem. It can damage your brand image.It can attract further vandalism.Worst of all, it can be a nightmare to get rid of. Especially if you’re worried about damaging the surface underneath. The longer graffiti stays on your building, the harder it is to remove. Paint starts to sink into porous surfaces like brick, stone, and render and before you know it, you’re left with ghosting or permanent shadow stains. At CleanKing, we act fast. We offer rapid-response graffiti removal because we know you don’t want to be stuck staring at a wall of spray paint while you wait for a quote. In this recent job, one of our operatives tackled fresh graffiti using a professional jetwash system powerful enough to lift the paint, but carefully controlled … Continue reading →

What You Can’t See Matters Most After a workout, nothing beats stepping into a quiet, steamy sauna.But there’s a question many gymgoers ask often silently:Is this actually clean? The short answer? Sometimes.The full answer? It depends on how the space is cleaned, how often, and whether it’s being treated like a hygiene priority, because it should be. Saunas are warm, humid, and shared by a lot of people. That’s a breeding ground for bacteria if not looked after properly. Even when they look fine at first glance, they can still contain: Sweat absorbed into untreated wood Bacteria on benches, handles, and walls Mould in corners or around flooring edges Residue from body oils and dead skin Musty smells that linger despite ventilation These things often go unnoticed until a member complains or someone gets ill. What a Proper Sauna Clean … Continue reading →

The Job That Brought the Power Back Before Dave and Ant arrived, the solar panels were no longer operational. Thousands of them. Just sitting there. No energy. No output. No return on investment. By the time they left? The panels were back up and running. That’s the difference a proper clean can make. Why Solar Panels Stop Working Solar panels need light to do their job. When they’re covered in: Dirt Bird mess Algae Pollution Tree sap Moss or lichen …it blocks the sunlight. That means reduced performance or, in some cases, complete shutdown. That’s what happened on this job. The build-up was so heavy, the system had almost completely stopped functioning. Our Operatives on Site Dave and Ant cleaned thousands of panels across a large site. No cutting corners. No rushing. Just solid, thorough work. They were on-site for … Continue reading →

They Look Clever – But Do They Actually Work? Window cleaning robots are popping up all over social media.Sleek little gadgets that promise spotless glass without the need for ladders, elbow grease, or even a cloth. But how do they stack up against the real thing? We’ve taken a closer look at the pros, the cons, and why professional cleaning still delivers the best results, especially for commercial spaces. 🤖 The Pros of Window Cleaning Robots 1. Hands-Free Operation Once attached to the glass, the robot handles the movement. For small, accessible windows, it can save a bit of time. 2. Remote-Controlled Convenience Most models come with an app or remote so you can control them from the ground. No ladders. No stretching. 3. Better Than Doing Nothing For light surface dust or basic maintenance at home, they’re a helpful … Continue reading →

Hint: It’s More Than Emptying Bins! When most people think of office cleaning, they picture someone vacuuming the floor and taking the bins out. Job done, right? Not quite. A properly cleaned office does more than look tidy – it helps staff feel comfortable, stay healthy, and work more effectively. It also leaves a lasting impression on anyone who walks through the door. Here’s what professional office cleaning actually involves. Daily Cleaning Tasks These are the basics, but they matter. They keep everything ticking over and stop the small mess from turning into a big problem. Emptying bins and replacing liners Vacuuming and mopping floors Dusting desks and surfaces Wiping high-touch points (door handles, switches, phones) Cleaning kitchens and break areas Toilet and washroom cleaning Restocking consumables (toilet roll, soap, paper towels) Even with hybrid or part-time teams, daily cleaning … Continue reading →

What’s Going On Up There? (And Why It Matters More Than You Think!) Most people don’t look up. Not at work, anyway. Not until something catches their eye – a patch of dust on the rafters, a mossy streak on the glass, or a bird nest that definitely wasn’t there last month. That’s when they call us. Not because it’s urgent (yet).But because they’ve noticed it.And now they can’t unnotice it. Why High-Level Dirt Is a Big Deal Dust doesn’t stay up there.It falls into the air, onto shelves, into stock, and across workstations.It creates a film over glass, signage, vents, and beams. Eventually, it makes everything feel a bit… off.Not dangerous. Not dramatic.Just a slow, quiet decline in standards. Until someone says, “Hang on. When was the last time we cleaned that?” Welcome to the World of High-Level Cleaning … Continue reading →
