CrestClean Services FAQs

How do you maintain consistent cleaning standards?

Our professionally trained cleaning teams follow standardised cleaning systems, strict hygiene protocols and an agreed Schedule of Duties to deliver consistent, hygienic outcomes at every service. Supported by the latest equipment, regular quality audits and oversight from your local Regional Manager, this comprehensive approach is what we call The CrestClean Standard.

Will we have the same cleaning team each time?

Wherever possible, your premises will be looked after by the same owner-operated cleaning team. This provides greater consistency, helps the team become familiar with your site and gives them a personal interest in maintaining high standards.

What happens if we’re not satisfied with part of the cleaning service?

Let us know, and we’ll work to resolve the issue promptly. Your local Regional Manager is responsible for overseeing the quality and reliability of your service and will ensure any concerns are followed up.

Can the cleaning service be tailored to our workplace?

Yes. We assess your premises and discuss how each area is used before recommending a cleaning plan. You’ll receive a clear Schedule of Duties outlining what will be cleaned, how often it will be completed and the agreed service times.

How do you manage security and access to our premises?

All CrestClean personnel are security vetted, wear uniforms and carry photo identification. Site access requirements, alarm procedures, keys and restricted areas are discussed and documented before the service begins.

How is the cost of our cleaning service calculated?

CrestClean’s pricing reflects internationally recognised cleaning productivity rates, which calculate the time required to clean the specified areas in accordance with the Schedule of Duties. The contract price includes all labour, supervision, equipment and chemicals. Anny additional or specialist services – such as carpet cleaning, hard floor care or window cleaning are priced separately and will be discussed and agreed with your Regional Manager before commencement.

Can the cleaning service be tailored to suit our specific site requirements?

Yes. We assess your premises and you will receive a detailed site-specific Schedule of Duties that sets out exactly which areas are to be cleaned, what tasks are to be completed, and how frequently. If your needs change over time, due to changes in occupancy, operational hours, or site usage – your Regional Manager can adjust the Schedule of Duties accordingly.
