About Us
Our company
Yarra Cleaning Services has been trading since March 1994. A privately owned family company, the original directors are actively involved in the daily management of the business. Now servicing the entire Melbourne metropolitan area, Yarra Cleaning Services has earned a reputation for friendliness, responsiveness, quality and reliability.
We have serviced a range of clients, from schools, commercial offices and houses to factories, warehouses, showrooms and shop floors. We have also had experience in cleaning for construction sites, domestic properties, sports centres and clients who require hospital standard cleaning.
Our staff
We pride ourselves on only employing attentive, punctual, reliable and skilled staff. All cleaning staff have been trained in Certificate III of Cleaning Operations (TAFE) and all have had previous industry experience.
Staff are chosen on professional and character references and for clients who request it, we can perform a police check. Staff are uniformed and are required to carry identification.
Staff training
In addition to Certificate III of Cleaning Operations, new staff to a job or the company are immediately supervised at the beginning. Our team of supervisors and experienced cleaners help train staff in the following areas:
- Chemical knowledge
- Cleaning methods
- Occupational Health and Safety
- Communicating with clients
- Personal conduct
- Security and alarms
- Specific site information
Occupational Health and Safety Policy
Standard policies used by the cleaning industry are respected at Yarra Cleaning Services. Our stringent Occupations Health and Safety Policy (OH&S) is observed by all staff and in addition, we provide clients with a peace-of-mind by using only safe and quality equipment, more of which can be read about in our section on Equipment.
Our Environmental Policy
Commercial cleaning is an industry that can have detrimental effects on Australia's environment and in order to make sure that we have as minimum impact as possible, Yarra Cleaning Services have established an Environmental Policy which states that:
- A minimum of cleaning chemicals are used
- We only use environmental friendly chemicals sourced from reputable suppliers
- We encourage clients to recycle rubbish and help them to dispose of this appropriately
- Bags are tightly tied to ensure that rubbish does not go anywhere
- We recycle as much of our waste as possible
- We always dispose of chemicals and cleaning residue thoughtfully and never down a stormwater drain
