Switching cleaning companies? The handover matters more than most people realise. 🧹
Most cleaning problems don't come from bad staff or cheap products — they come from a vague brief. If your new team doesn't know which areas to prioritise, what chemicals to avoid, or who to call when something's wrong, things go sideways fast.
We've put together a step-by-step guide specifically for Bristol facilities managers covering:
• How to document your site before anyone sets foot in it
• Writing a clear scope (not just a verbal handover)
• Setting priorities so the right areas get the right attention
• Sorting access, security, and key contacts upfront

• How photo-verified systems like Xota take the guesswork out of ongoing quality
It's practical, straightforward, and written for people who've been burnt by a bad transition before.
