Cleaning Services

An essential requirement in a residential facility is a cost efficient service and a continual supply of fresh linen and personal clothing.

A well run laundry will provide a continual supply of fresh linen and timely returns of clothing and other personal garments.

A laundry is also responsible for providing other laundering needs - mops, curtains, floor mats.

A laundry should not be neglected due to its non-glamorous role - it is a critical department.

The laundry in most organisations is a high cost factor which requires close scrutiny. Many utility costs are paid as a one off 'total' facility invoice with exact costs unknown.

Creek Solutions Pty Ltd will provide:

Onsite Review

Thorough review of existing laundries which includes:

The laundry facility
The equipment - major, minor
Workflow
Production processes
Operating procedures

Recommendations for improvement

The service will more often than not require improvement in one or more areas of the operation:

Employee processes
Utility utilisation

Improvement often includes financial savings as well as efficient practices.

Implementation

Creek Solutions Pty Ltd provides on-site support to ensure new processes become imbedded into an organisation's culture and methodology.

The systems created remain robust and require little direct involvement other than rostering, supply of linen and other stock purchases.

Manuals and other documentation:

Signage - in setting up a new system there is often a need for signage to educate and assist staff. These are all incorporated into the overall implementation process.
Procedure manuals are provided that reflect internal processes and include Occupational Health & Safety and Infection Control processes

Cleaning services are important in maintaining high standards in residential accommodation - Hotels, Health and Aged Care facilities.

The cleaning industry is undoubtedly one of Australia's largest business sectors. Everywhere needs to be cleaned "homes, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, airports and aged care facilities".

Many organisations grapple with the question - to clean with an in-house team or to outsource. Both solutions have a place in the Aged Care industry and each must be well managed to prevent cost blow outs occurring.

Creek Solutions Pty Ltd will support organisations that wish to continue with in-house cleaning and requires guidance in this process. We are able to provide the work schedules, staff training and recommended cleaning equipment.

Creek Solutions Pty Ltd will provide the following services:

Full on-site audit with report
Implementation of new processes
