A Return to Gracechurch Shopping Centre

Ramora returned to Gracechurch Shopping Centre in Sutton Coldfield this week to carry out one of it’s contract cleans.

One team was in the multi storey car park cleaning the main roadway that leads from the entrance barrier to the exit.This requires regular attention due to the amount of traffic and also being the most high profile area.

Another team was sent in to clean a specific area within the shopping centre in readiness for one of our sister companies Slipguard to follow in behind and apply an anti slip-floor surface treatment. Injuries due to slippery falls are increasingly common and the aim of this exercise is to demonstrate to our client that we can supply a full package of not only an on going, high quality cleaning service but also provide them with a safer environment for there customers and workforce.

City Centre Chewing Gum Removal

The delivery teams have been focused in delivering several city centre deep cleans, which involves a thorough deep clean of the pavements and then removal of the chewing gum. Working with our key clients we have been sending in spotting teams to identify key chewing gum problem areas, such as outside of food retail units, around litter bins and meeting areas.

The chewing gum removal teams, then target these areas prior to the deep clean to allow more efficient production and a higher proportion of gum removal. Although at Ramora we strive for ZERO gum, working late at night can have the problems of seeing all the chewing gum on the pavements. This two stage process although more expensive does although greater improvement in chewing gum identification.

When doing chewing gum spotting it does leave the pavement streaky until the deep clean is carried out, but our clients can also see the benefits of a deep clean and are delighted with the chewing gum levels following the operation.
