Retail Store Cleaning in Christchurch

Retail cleaning has one hard constraint that no other sector has: the floor has to be dry and safe before your doors open, and anything undone at open stays undone until close. PrestigePro cleans shops, showrooms and retail premises across Christchurch at $29 + GST per hour, police vetted and $5 million public liability insured. THE FLOOR IS A LIABILITY BEFORE IT IS AN APPEARANCE A wet retail floor at opening is a slip claim waiting to happen, and under the Health and Safety at Work Act you have a duty to customers and staff in your space. This is the single reason retail cleaning is scheduled outside trading hours rather than squeezed into a quiet half hour. If a spill has to be dealt with during trading, it needs signage and someone watching it until it is dry. We would rather schedule properly than create a hazard on your shop floor. MOST OF YOUR DIRT ARRIVES THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR The majority of soil in a retail space walks in on feet, and it concentrates in the first few metres. That is why entrance matting does more for floor condition than anything else, and why matting that is never lifted and cleaned underneath stops working — it holds the grit rather than trapping it. We lift and clean under matting rather than vacuuming over it. It is a small thing that visibly changes how the entrance looks by the end of a wet Christchurch week. WHAT CUSTOMERS ACTUALLY NOTICE Glass and the entrance first, floors second, then the fitting rooms and the counter. Fingerprints on entrance glass are the most visible thing in your store and the cheapest to fix. Fitting rooms are the ones most often neglected and most commented on — mirrors, floors, hooks, seating. If you sell clothing, that is where a customer spends the most time alone forming an opinion about how the business is run. WORKING AROUND STOCK We clean around merchandise rather than moving it. Displays are merchandised deliberately and a cleaner rearranging stock creates work for your team the next morning. If something needs moving to clean underneath, we tell you rather than doing it. For stockrooms we work to whatever system you have. A tidy stockroom is a staff task; keeping the floor clean and clear is ours. HIGH-TOUCH POINTS Eftpos terminals, door handles and push plates, counter surfaces, trolley and basket handles, stair rails, lift buttons. These take minutes and are what a customer physically contacts. They matter more than a polished floor in a corner nobody walks through. SEASONAL PEAKS Christmas, sales periods and back-to-school change the traffic through your space substantially, and the same clean does not hold. Because we charge hourly with no fixed term, you can lift frequency for six weeks and drop back afterwards without renegotiating anything. PRICING $29 + GST per hour, quoted after a walkthrough so we can see the floor type, the entrance, the fitting rooms and your trading hours. Terms and conditions apply.
