Hospitality Operators Confess To Wasting Money on Basic Cleaning Essentials Due To False Economy

By James Russell: Hospitality Operators Confess To Wasting Money on Basic Cleaning Essentials Due To False Economy

September 22, 2014

  • P&G Professional survey shows operators are disappointed by the cleaning mileage of cheaper products
  • Almost 1 in 2 hospitality operators have had to repurchase a cheaper cleaning product due to inefficiencies
  • With the Flash Professional range, professionals can optimise their annual spending on cleaning products by getting significant cleaning muscle and better cost in use

With operating margins squeezed to breaking point and operators looking for absolute value from every pound spent servicing and maintaining their businesses, it’s no surprise to learn that professionals are shopping smarter to make their money go further. These are the findings of a new survey from P&G Professional (www.pgpro.co.uk), the away from home division of Procter & Gamble (P&G) and world class innovators in professional cleaning solutions, who today announced the restage of their line-up of trusted Flash Professional cleaning products – a high quality range of multi-surface, kitchen and sanitary cleaning solutions designed to deliver better value with every dose.

On average, hospitality operators spend about £124.45 each month on cleaning products – that’s almost a whopping £1,500 each year. * And to make matters worse, nearly half of all operators surveyed confessed to repurchasing their cleaning supplies because they were so disappointed with the false economy of cheaper products – meaning this cost could be so much higher. Not only does this represent a huge financial burden for operators, but it makes the case for why businesses need to shop smarter by purchasing quality cleaning solutions from the onset. With operators constantly juggling their balance sheets, there is no margin for error when it comes to purchasing products to maintain high standards of cleanliness in professional establishments.

“At P&G Professional, we understand that busy operators need trusted cleaning products which are simple to use, deliver significant cleaning mileage and provide value-for-money with every dose. Flash All Purpose Cleaner, which is part of the Flash Professional range of cleaning solutions, not only has great cleaning power but delivers on multiple fronts including shine, freshness, scent, degreasing and dust removal. Combine these benefits with the simplicity, efficiency and trustworthiness of a well-known brand and you have a winning solution for busy operators,” commented Jayne Clark, P&G Professional Sales Director, UK and Ireland.

The Flash Professional line-up allows you to clean across your establishment with very few products. The full range includes an Antibacterial Multipurpose Spray Cleaner, Antibacterial Degreaser Spray, All Purpose Cleaner, Kitchen Heavy Duty Degreaser, Bathroom Cleaner, Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Limescale Remover.

“When budgets are so tight, it is even more important for operators to purchase cleaning solutions which deliver optimal cost in use and get the job done first time around and with less hassle. We want to help operators save time and money and minimise the risk of employee error,” added Jayne Clark.
