Training is the single biggest factor in making a good cleaner, and most kiwi cleaners get no formal training…
CrestClean is the largest private trainer of cleaning personnel in New Zealand. Each year we host more than 200 training events for our personnel nationwide. We’ve invested in comprehensive training for all personnel which covers cleaning skills and processes, Health and Safety, and hygienic practices. Personnel are upskilled annually and regular auditing is carried out by CrestClean’s Quality Assurance Co-ordinators.
No other cleaning company matches our commitment to ongoing training and upskilling. All our personnel undertake formal training programmes including practical cleaning training, proficiency assessments and annual upskilling throughout their CrestClean careers.
The Master Cleaners Training Institute is a respected training organisation that has delivered internationally recognised programmes including courses accredited by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc). More than 500 CrestClean cleaners have gained the BICSc Professional Skills Suite Certificate. This course was validated by an NZQA accredited Industry Training Organisation that moderated our course content. Read more about CrestClean’s Industry Training Programme.
Master Cleaners Training Institute has introduced the Certificate in Commercial Cleaning (CCC), specifically designed to meet the NZ cleaning industry needs. A ‘Licence to Clean’, course covers practical cleaning techniques, hygiene and industry specific Health and Safety and Environmental procedures.
All personnel receive annual upskilling to remain up-to-date with product innovations and the latest advances in our industry. The performance of our personnel is continually assessed by our Regional Managers and cleaning equipment and chemicals are audited twice yearly to ensure safety and consistent standards of quality.
Health and Safety training is provided through formal training and skills development modules. Site-specific Health and Safety inductions are undertaken on our customers’ premises. All personnel complete an annual online Health and Safety update.
Hard Floor Care, Carpet Cleaning and Pure Water Window Cleaning are all specialist skills undertaken by fully trained CrestClean personnel. Understanding the safe use of equipment and the nuances of performing these services is essential and our practical training sets the standard for the commercial cleaning industry.
Our workforce is trained to operate under SafeClean®, our Health, Safety and Environmental Management System that meets Contractor Prequalification. All personnel are inducted onto sites and hold Site Safe Passports where required. See www.prequal.co.nz

Cleaning of doctors’ surgeries, medical centres, and healthcare practitioners require stringent hygiene procedures, as well as the ability to maintain strong customer communications. CrestClean has learned the particularities of providing effective cleaning for the healthcare sector through years of experience. CrestClean’s management systems are designed to ensure that our customer relationships are efficient, satisfying and enduring. We follow fully documented Quality Assurance Protocols. A formal customer feedback protocol ensures that our high service levels are maintained. We foster long-term relationships with our customers and our personnel. 
With office cleaning, our aim is to create Healthy Clean Workplace environments for an organisation’s customers and staff. Having a clean and hygienic office is the simplest way to improve your workplace environment. It’s not an easy task: Staff eat at desks, they leave food in the fridge and they put their grubby hands everywhere, contaminating touch points. It is estimated that 80% of infections are transmitted by touch. ‘Activity Based Working’ and ‘Hot Desking’ adds to the hygiene dilemma, as do sharing computer mice and telephones. Employers have a statutory requirement to provide clean and hygienic workplaces. A dirty workplace is often cited as a reason why staff leave. 
CrestClean teams stand behind New Zealand industry. From large multi-national food processors to local engineering workshops, CrestClean teams will keep you clean and hygienic behind the scenes. Industrial cleaning and factory cleaning is all about compliance. Since 1996 Crest Commercial Cleaning Ltd has developed industry leading systems, procedures and management to ensure that our service meets and exceeds our customers’ compliances for Health and Safety, Environment, Training and Security. CrestClean provides a consistent standard of service from the same cleaning team on-site, with no personnel changes happening all the time. 
CrestClean understands school cleaning. We have been school cleaners since 1996; nowadays we are a major provider of school cleaning services with over 320 school customers, including primary, intermediate and secondary schools throughout New Zealand. “Consistency” is the word that sums up what we believe schools would like most from their cleaning provider. We are talking about a consistent level of cleaning, a consistent level of account management and term cleans performed consistently to the required standard on time. CrestClean has worked hard to develop school cleaning systems and we have established a good reputation as reliable school cleaners. 
Presentation is everything in a retail or high foot traffic environment. Gleaming windows, shining floors and beautifully presented product are all part of attracting people into your space. Customers walk in with dirt and debris off the street…they also bring coughs, colds and the flu; potentially contaminating your environment. Cross contamination is now recognised as a leading cause of workplace sickness, and it is largely unseen. Germs pass from customer to staff, staff to staff, and next thing you have absenteeism. CrestClean utilises colour-coded microfibre cloths to clean hygienically, and hi-tech microfibre mops to clean floors expertly.
