Cleaning Hygiene Safety

What Cleaning Hygiene Safety does

Cleaning Hygiene Safety Ltd (CHS) is a Cambridge-based, privately held commercial cleaning and facilities supplies company founded in 2004. The firm provides professional cleaning services to offices, schools and colleges, student accommodation, and short-let/Airbnb properties across Cambridge and a five-town surrounding radius (Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, St Ives, Huntingdon, Saffron Walden). Its service portfolio comprises six core lines — office cleaning, school and college cleaning, eco-friendly cleaning (using envirological chemicals and sustainably sourced paper products), student accommodation cleaning, commercial laundry, and window cleaning — supplemented by two ancillary product lines: janitorial and washroom consumables distributed via own-transport same-day delivery and a Cambridge trade counter, and a workwear supply and customization service.

The underlying technology is non-proprietary: standard professional cleaning equipment paired with eco-branded consumables. The competitive proposition rests on DBS-checked, uniformed, health-and-safety-trained staff; over two decades of local trading reputation; and flexible, customized service contracts. The website is a basic WordPress site with a quote-request form; the company maintains no app, no API, and no disclosed digital platform.

CHS makes money through recurring multi-year service contracts (subscription) with Cambridge-area businesses and educational institutions, complemented by transactional hardware/consumables sales (cleaning supplies and workwear) delivered through its own logistics network. Go-to-market is overwhelmingly direct and relationship-driven: phone, email, in-person visits, and word-of-mouth referrals, with no formal sales team, paid acquisition, or partner channels evident. The customer base spans SMB offices, education sector clients, student residential operators, and Airbnb hosts, but is concentrated within a defined East-of-England geography.
