Accreditations

At Cleanie, we’re proud to pay our employees above both the national and London living wage. Although the government brought in the new National Living Wage in 2016 to increase minimum pay for over-25s, it still falls short of reflecting the true cost of living.

For this reason, we pay our employees the Real Living Wage - a level that is independently calculated according to what people genuinely need to live comfortably. In doing so, we aim to support the financial security and the mental and physical wellbeing of our workforce.

By meeting the true needs of our employees, we benefit from a highly motivated workforce and enjoy better staff retention. When our team feels valued and supported, it translates into more engaged and committed staff, lower staff turnover, and consistently high standards, benefitting both our business and our clients.

Cleanie is proud to be accredited by SafeContractor under the SSIP and PAS91 schemes, meeting the highest standards and verifying our commitment to health and safety, equal opportunities, diversity, and environmental responsibility.

This comprehensive accreditation process ensures that we proactively identify and manage risks while consistently adhering to best practices across all key operational areas. For our clients, it’s a trusted mark of assurance and proof that we meet legal and regulatory obligations within their supply chain and operate to the highest standards. Ultimately, SafeContractor accreditation streamlines procurement, improves safety, and strengthens long-term partnerships that are built on trust and reliability.

Since its relaunch in 2018 (formerly BIFM), the Institute of Workplace & Facilities Management (IWFM) has set the gold standard for facilities management professionalism. Developed in collaboration with industry stakeholders, experts, and professional standards writers, IWFM’s framework assesses the skills, knowledge, and competence required at all levels of facilities management, from entry-level positions to senior strategic hires.

By aligning with internationally recognised IWFM standards, Cleanie demonstrates a commitment to professionalism, structured career development, and consistently high-quality service our clients can rely on. These standards demonstrate compliance and consistency, empowering our teams to innovate, lead, project-manage effectively, and deliver a high-quality service that is delivered with confidence.

By upholding BICSc standards, we provide our clients with the peace of mind that our cleaning professionals are trained to the highest of standards to provide reliable, high-quality yet efficient cleaning service.

By achieving ethical accreditation, we’ve earned the trust of our clients, and it reinforces our promise to operate with integrity, fairness, and purpose.
