When you invite a cleaning company into your home or business, you’re trusting them with more than just “making things look nice.” You’re trusting them with your carpets, upholstery, flooring, indoor air quality, and the safety of the people who use those spaces every day.
That’s why continuous education isn’t a “nice to have” in the cleaning industry — it’s essential.
At Sheen Services 1988 LTD, we’ve been cleaning professionally since 1988. And one thing hasn’t changed: the best results come from doing things properly, using the right methods, with the right training behind them.
The industry changes — and the standards should rise with it
Modern cleaning isn’t the same as it was even five years ago. Materials, finishes, and fibres evolve. Manufacturers update their guidance. New solutions and equipment come onto the market. And expectations around hygiene, allergens, and safety are higher than ever.
Ongoing training helps professional cleaners stay current with:
- The safest and most effective cleaning methods for different fibres and surfaces
- Correct chemical selection (and what not to use)
- Stain treatment techniques that reduce the risk of damage
- Best practice for drying times, odour control, and aftercare
- Health & safety procedures for homes and commercial sites
In short: continuous education protects your property and improves the quality of the result.
Certificates aren’t just badges — they’re proof of competence
Anyone can buy equipment. Anyone can advertise “professional cleaning.” But certifications help separate trained operators from guesswork.
We invest in recognised training and certification because it matters — especially when cleaning delicate or high-value items like wool carpets, fine upholstery fabrics, and specialist flooring.
When you choose a trained and certified company, you’re choosing:
- Better outcomes (cleaner results, fewer recurring issues)
- Lower risk (less chance of shrinkage, colour bleed, fibre damage, or residue problems)
- Better advice (aftercare guidance that actually extends the life of your carpets and furnishings)
Our commitment: trained, certified, and always improving
We don’t rely on outdated methods or “one-size-fits-all” cleaning. We carry the right certifications and we keep learning — because our customers deserve consistent, high-quality work every time.
Our team’s training supports the work we do across:
- Carpet cleaning (including wool and specialist fibres)
- Upholstery cleaning
- Hard floor cleaning
- Odour removal and stain treatment
- Residential and commercial cleaning environments
And we don’t stop at initial training. We continue to refresh skills, improve processes, and teach best practice across the team so standards stay high — job after job.
Why this matters for homeowners and businesses
Training isn’t just an internal benefit — it directly affects what you experience as a customer.
It means:
- Your carpets and upholstery are treated according to fibre type, not assumptions
- Stains are approached with a method, not trial-and-error
- The right products are used for your home (including hypoallergenic and eco-friendly options where appropriate)
- You get a more reliable service, with consistent results across every visit
If you’ve ever had a bad experience with a “cheap clean” that left sticky residue, caused rapid re-soiling, or didn’t remove odours properly — that’s often a training issue, not an equipment issue.
Coming soon: our new online training school
We’re excited to share that we’ll soon be launching a new online training school.
This is part of our long-term commitment to raising standards — not only within our own team, but across the industry. The goal is simple: make high-quality training more accessible, more consistent, and easier to apply in real-world cleaning work.
We’ll share more details soon, including what’s included, who it’s for, and how it supports professional development.
