Company unveils deep-cleaning arm to ‘help get Britain back to work’
Businesses are being encouraged to undertake a deep clean of their properties as they prepare for the easing of lockdown restrictions to provide reassurance for customers and workers – and to help protect the NHS.
It comes as polling shows that the British public is nervous about returning to places of work and visiting shops and restaurants.
A new Uk-wide division of the Property Support Services (PSS) group, PSS Protect, is providing deep-cleaning services for offices, shops, restaurants, hair salons, care homes, hotels, football clubs and other facilities – to help Britain get back to work as companies prepare for re-opening.
Scotland’s largest independent cash and carry firm, United Wholesale (Scotland), is among the first to use the services, carrying out “bio-fogging” disinfection of its three depots – two in Glasgow and one in Grangemouth, Falkirk. Trials are also under way at convenience stores across Scotland.
The new division has set up accredited training for workers – and is providing certificates to be displayed to reassure the public.
PSS Protect said it has invested in the latest cleaning innovations and is one of the few providers of “bio-fogging” disinfection used in hospitals.
It has also set up a global supply chain for personal protective equipment that it can supply to firms, while work can be carried out overnight to accommodate trading hours. The unit also said it has contacted the UK Government, offering to play its part in helping to get Britain back to work.
The PSS group has provided specialist cleaning services for all types of premises for 40-plus years.
Group chairman Michael Rust said: “We have launched PSS Protect to help get Britain back working.”
