Why Trained Cleaners Outperform Technicians on Workshop Floors – Retford Edition

It’s a scene many dealership managers know too well: a technician mopping up a spill with whatever cloth is closest, between jobs or on their break. It may seem convenient, but it’s not suitable for your floors, staff, or bottom line.

Retford dealerships are high-value environments. Workshop floors are exposed to oil, coolant, brake dust, and customer vehicles passing through daily. They require specialist care, not a rushed wipe-down from someone trained to fix cars, not clean around them.

 

The Problem with the DIY Approach

When technicians handle workshop cleaning:

• You’re paying skilled labour rates for basic janitorial work
• Cleaning often gets missed during peak service times
• There’s a higher risk of paint damage, safety hazards, or cross-contamination

Over time, the impact shows in the cleanliness of the workshop, staff morale, and even customer confidence.

 

What Trained Cleaning Staff Bring

At Clean Sweep Commercial, we provide trained, uniformed, DBS-vetted cleaners who:

• Use vehicle-safe chemicals and colour-coded systems
• Work to a set schedule without interrupting repairs or inspections
• Help maintain a clean, compliant, and professional working environment

We let your technicians get back to what they do best while we handle everything underfoot.
