Course description
Providing cleaning services in the UK is a lucrative business that can yield high profits. To keep their houses, offices, factories and hospitals in perfect condition, most companies and people rely on the services of professional cleaners. In this course, we closely examine the features of the cleaning profession, such as the work hours, work conditions and remuneration. You will also learn about the typical cleaning jobs, the equipment, clothing and products you often use.
Next, you will study the proper cleaning procedure for basic indoor areas like offices, bathrooms and toilets, as well as home and commercial kitchens where food is stored.

In this course's final section, you will understand the practical skills for developing a business strategy and setting financial goals.
