Cleaning Company vs Individual Cleaner

Cleaning Company vs Individual Cleaner

The cost of living is hitting everyone hard and unsurprisingly we are all tailoring our cloth to make ends meet.

As a small business quite often we hear the expression you are very expensive.  Spare a thought for all businesses also trying to make ends meet.   Given that the Living Wage is currently £12.00 per hour (set to rise again in November 2024).  When another company can offer an hourly rate around that mark ask yourself are they a reputable company/individual paying their employees fairly?

Employees cost a business more than just a salary. There are individual extras, like pensions, national insurance and overheads like company vans, fuel, cleaning equipment and chemicals and laundry costs to ensure we provide the best service along with other costs to business, such as non-chargeable resources, insurance, rent, rates and utilities.

Cobwebs and Spiders (interesting fact)

Cobwebs and Spiders (interesting fact)

Often we are asked to return to a property as customers find cobwebs after the clean, here are some interesting facts on how quickly spiders react to humans destroying their homes.

When a spider’s web is destroyed, the spider will typically rebuild a new web rather than moving on. Spiders invest significant time and energy into constructing their webs, which are essential for catching prey. If a web is damaged or destroyed, the spider will work to repair it as soon as possible.  The process of rebuilding a web involves the spider locating the remaining anchor points and then gradually reconstructing the spiral and radial strands that make up the web structure. Depending on the extent of the damage, this rebuilding process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more for the spider to complete.

In some cases, if the web is completely destroyed, the spider may choose to build a new web in a different location rather than repairing the original one. This decision is often influenced by factors such as the availability of suitable anchor points, the presence of potential prey, and the risk of further disturbances in the original location.

Overall, spiders are quite resilient and adaptive when it comes to dealing with the loss of their webs. Their natural instinct is to rebuild rather than abandon their web-building efforts, as the web is critical for their survival and successful hunting.
