Schools are increasingly looking to employ more sustainable cleaning processes as part of their commitment to the environment. Tim Knappett from Keep Britain Tidy/Eco Schools explains how
Using the latest technology and training methods are just some of the considerations schools should bear in mind when choosing a cleaning contractor, advises Lee Baker from the British Cleaning Council.
