What Our Retail Cleaning Includes
Our retail cleaning covers the customer-facing shop floor and the back-of-house areas your staff use, set out in a written specification that matches your layout and trading hours. In a shop, cleanliness is part of how customers judge the brand, so the specification puts the most visible areas first.
Entrances, Glass and Windows
Entrance matting is vacuumed, door glass and internal shopfront glass are polished, and handles and push plates are sanitised. These are the first things a customer touches and sees, so they are cleaned on every visit.
Shop Floor, Displays and Tills
Floors are vacuumed or mopped to suit the surface, display units and shelving edges are dusted, and tills, counters and card machines are wiped. We clean around stock and only move or handle products where your specification says so.
Fitting Rooms
Mirrors, seats, hooks and floors are cleaned, and any hangers or items left behind are gathered in one place for your staff. Clean fitting rooms matter, because that is where customers decide whether to buy.
Stockrooms, Staff Areas and Washrooms
Stockroom floors are swept, staff kitchens are cleaned and customer and staff washrooms are cleaned and restocked. Busy stores can add extra washroom visits through our commercial washroom cleaning service.

Who Our Retail Cleaning Is For
Our retail cleaning is for any customer-facing business in Bexley where the look of the premises affects sales.
- Independent shops and boutiques on Bexley's high streets.
- Local branches of retail chains that need cleaning to a brand standard.
- Showrooms for kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, flooring and vehicles, where glass and floors must be spotless.
- Salons, barbers and beauty clinics. See our page on cleaning for showrooms, gyms and salons.
- Trade counters and builders' merchants with a busy customer area.
- Shop units in shopping centres, where cleaning has to follow centre rules.
Cleaning Around Your Trading Hours
We clean shops when customers are not there: before opening, after closing or on a non-trading day, so the store is ready the moment the doors open.
Before-Opening Shop Cleaning
Early cleans suit stores that want the floor and glass at their best for the first customer, and shops that trade late. We finish before your staff start setting up.
After-Close Shop Cleaning
Evening cleans deal with the day's footfall straight away. They suit busy stores, food-to-go counters and anywhere spills and marks build up through the day.
Shopping Centre Units
Units inside shopping centres have their own access times, sign-in rules and waste arrangements. We work within the centre's rules and agree access with centre management before the first clean.

The Details Customers Notice
Customers rarely notice a clean shop, but they always notice a dirty one, so our retail specification focuses on the details that show.
- Fingerprints on glass on doors, counters and display cases.
- Grit at the entrance, which spreads across the shop floor when it rains.
- Dust on shelving edges at eye level and on top of display units.
- Fitting-room mirrors and floors, where customers spend the most time close up.
- Washrooms, which shape how customers remember the visit.
How Often Should a Shop Be Cleaned?
Most shops need the entrance, shop floor, tills and washrooms cleaned every trading day, with stockrooms weekly and machine floor care every one to three months.
| Frequency | Usually suits |
|---|---|
| Daily, before opening or after close | Busy high-street shops, food-to-go counters and stores with fitting rooms |
| Two to four times a week | Showrooms and smaller shops with steady but lighter footfall |
| Weekly | Appointment-led showrooms and quiet trade counters |
| Monthly to quarterly | Machine floor cleaning and deep cleans of washrooms and stockrooms |
Footfall changes through the year, so we can add extra visits in the run-up to Christmas or during sales and reduce them again afterwards. Seasonal resets and refits can be covered by a one-off commercial deep cleaning visit.

How Much Does Shop Cleaning Cost?
Shop cleaning is priced from the cleaning time your store needs, so the cost depends on floor area, footfall, how often you need cleaning and the size of the window before opening or after close.
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Floor area and floor type | Larger stores and polished floors take more time |
| Footfall | Busy stores collect more grit, marks and fingerprints |
| Glass and displays | Glass-heavy showrooms need more polishing time |
| Fitting rooms and washrooms | Each room adds time to every visit |
| Cleaning window | A short slot before opening may need two cleaners at once |
After a free site survey, you get a fixed price per month or per visit, with every task listed against your specification.
