When the going gets tough, call TWO for specialist cleaning services

By James Russell: When the going gets tough, call TWO for specialist cleaning services

December 9, 2014

In the highly competitive market of hospitality, any disruption to normal trading can have a devastating effect on turnover and ultimately the success of your business. Temporary closures mean customers have to go elsewhere and there is no guarantee they will return.  So minimising downtime is essential and when it comes to catastrophes such as fire or flood, you will need the help of experts to get up and running again quickly.

This is where TWO Services come in– they love a challenge. As experts in cleaning and hygiene they take care of the tougher more specialist cleaning jobs – anything from fire or water damage to builders sparkle cleans. Barry Osborn, TWO Services MD says:

“As we all know, businesses that involve food preparation are subject to strict Health and Safety laws. In the event of a crisis such as burst pipes, kitchen fires and smoke damage we have the knowledge tools and expertise to help restore your premises to the required standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Who can forget the images last winter, of homes and businesses devastated by floods? Dirty water carries all kinds of nasty germs and once polluted it is a mammoth task to decontaminate and clean the fabric of the building. We use specialist equipment, techniques and cleaning products to remove even the most stubborn stains and grime and get you back on your feet as soon as possible.”

What’s more, TWO Services can protect your business from the nightmare of bacterial epidemics. Remember the problems Heston Blumenthal had earlier this year when he had to shut Dinner due to an outbreak of Norovirus? Nasty bugs like Norovirus, C Difficile, salmonella and E.Coli can sweep though environments like wildfire. Left unchecked to do their worst, they can have a devastating effect. And even with daily cleaning, preventing the spread of highly contagious airborne and surface viruses, fungi and bacteria is a constant battle, particularly in food preparation areas. Fortunately, there’s a quick and easy way to stop them in their tracks.

Barry says: “Fog sanitisation is another area where we specialise. Fifteen minutes per room is all it takes to eradicate the bugs that cling to hard surfaces and circulate through your extraction and ductwork systems. Our professional cleaners carry it out with little or no disruption to your business, either as a stand-alone event, or after a kitchen or ductwork deep clean.

The disinfectants we use are completely harmless to humans and animals, manufactured to ISO 9001 and independently tested to BSEN standards. It’s safe, affordable and highly effective, immobilising and killing 99.99% of all bacteria, viruses and fungi within thirty seconds. It provides proven infection control for thirty days – even with hard wiping or cleaning and is a potent tool when it comes to avoiding a serious outbreak.”

However it is not always a disaster that calls for specialist cleaning – building works present their own challenges when getting ready for a grand launch or re-opening. Builders dust and dirt from redecoration work have a way of spreading into every nook and cranny, despite your best efforts to seal off areas and minimise the impact.

Barry says “We provide one-off builders’/ sparkle cleans to get rid of all the accumulated dirt from alterations or refurbishment to your premises. Our intensive cleaning techniques will ensure that everything is gleaming and polished to its sparkling best, ready to welcome customers and show off the new décor to its best advantage.”
