FastKlean

FastKlean, the award winning professional cleaning company, used National Spring Cleaning Week in 2016 to successfully position themselves as London's leading cleaning company. Showcasing their exceptional quality and range of services, from spring cleaning and domestic cleaning to office cleaning; they achieved this by becoming the official sponsors of National Spring Cleaning Week and utilising radio interviews and radio competitions to promote their services.
During National Spring Cleaning Week, operations Manager Peter Blagoev, was in the studio talking about research commissioned for Spring Cleaning Week highlighting how dirty our surrounding environments really are. Although you may think that your house or office is clean on the surface, Peter comically informed the nation on how many germs are harbouring unseen. |
|
The research found that the office phone has over 25,000 bacteria per surface, and your desk or kitchen sink has far more bacteria on it than a toilet seat! Peter used the radio interviews to offer FastKlean's top tips, emphasising how domestic cleaning is an essential part of hygienic living, not just during Spring Cleaning Week but every week thereafter!
Peter was also very passionate about cleaning not being a chore. If you go about it the right way, it can actually be fun. Or at least less of a dreaded task than it currently seems to be. When cleaning yourself, they advise starting with the area of your home you want to give most attention to and making sure you try to get a team/family involved. But there is always the option of delegating the housework to a team of experts from FastKlean, who can do a great job and in great time.

A national survey commissioned Molly Maid as Britain’s largest professional maid service company and has discovered that many of us harbour a range of eccentric and unsavoury cleaning habits that, until now, we've been happy to sweep under the carpet. The survey found that around a sixth of people (15%) in the UK admit they use the washing up cloth to wipe up spills from the floor. In fact 6% say they have also used the washing up cloth to wipe around their pet’s food bowl. And a further 7% claim they never actually clean the kitchen cloth. Being part of National Spring Cleaning Week meant that Molly Maid received media coverage of 18 radio stations with just under 35 million listeners.

Children and mess go hand in hand and keeping a child’s room tidy and organised seems like an impossible task.

Also, a quarter (23%) of adults spend up to 15 whole days a year cleaning. The media coverage for Bizzy Bee reached over 4.5 million listeners and was broadcasted on 26 radio stations.
