Key details
- Client: British Triathlon
- Service: Specialist deep cleaning
- Frequency: Weekly
- Location: Brownlee Centre, Leeds
The Brownlee Centre is a specialist sports and training facility in Leeds used by athletes, coaches, staff and visitors.
With busy changing, welfare and training facilities to maintain, British Triathlon needed a reliable cleaning service that could provide a deeper level of attention alongside its routine cleaning arrangements.
The aim was to keep the facilities hygienic and presentable by giving additional attention to areas and tasks that sit outside routine daily cleaning.
The challenge
The Brownlee Centre is a busy sporting facility, so cleaning had to be carried out around the day-to-day use of the building.
British Triathlon required a consistent weekly deep-cleaning service that could:
- Provide detailed cleaning of changing and welfare facilities
- Give additional attention to high-use and high-contact areas
- Minimise disruption to athletes, staff and scheduled activities
- Work within a defined three-hour weekly allocation
- Adapt priorities as the centre’s requirements changed
The solution
Smart Cleaning introduced a structured three-hour deep clean once a week with each visit planned around the facility’s schedule to minimise disruption.
Each visit followed an agreed task schedule, with a focus on detailed cleaning and periodic rotation of tasks to ensure different areas received appropriate attention over time.
Weekly cleaning tasks included:
- Detailed cleaning and disinfection of toilets and washroom facilities
- Cleaning of changing areas and associated welfare facilities
- Removal of scale, soap residue and marks from sanitary fittings
- Vacuuming and mopping of floors, including edges and corners
- Cleaning of skirting boards, doors, frames and accessible ledges
- Disinfection of frequently touched surfaces, including handles, switches and other hand-contact points
- Cleaning beneath and around accessible furniture and equipment
- Removal of fingerprints, smears, dust and surface marks
- Emptying and cleaning of waste bins where required
- Reporting maintenance issues, damage or supply shortages
Management and quality control
Regular communication, supervisory checks and client feedback helped Smart Cleaning maintain consistent standards and respond to any changes in cleaning priorities.
The agreed schedule also allowed concerns or additional priorities to be addressed quickly, keeping the service responsive to changes in facility use.
Colour-coded equipment, appropriate cleaning products and PPE were all used to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, with all products used in line with COSHH requirements and the manufacturer’s instructions.
The Outcome
The weekly three-hour deep clean provided British Triathlon with dedicated time for the more detailed cleaning tasks that sit outside routine day-to-day cleaning.
By working around the facility’s schedule and rotating tasks where required, Smart Cleaning could focus on high-use welfare areas and frequently touched surfaces without disrupting training or other activities.
