The challenge

York Maze needed a cleaning partner who could provide a consistent daily presence across the full summer season, respond to peak footfall and maintain appropriate hygiene standards at a busy family-focused attraction.

Key priorities included:

  • Keeping facilities hygienic and presentable throughout opening hours
  • Adjusting cleaning frequency as demand changed during the day
  • Keeping consumables stocked
  • Managing additional dirt and debris from the outdoor environment
  • Providing dependable daily cover throughout the summer season

How temporary toilet cleaning works

Outdoor temporary toilet facilities require more than a single clean at the start or end of the day. Heavy use and changing visitor numbers mean they need frequent, structured monitoring to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

Our temporary toilet cleaning service at York Maze included:

  • Scheduling inspections throughout the day to ensure the facilities remain clean and stocked
  • Cleaning and disinfecting toilets, cubicles and high-touch points such as door handles and taps
  • Cleaning floors to manage heavy foot traffic and outdoor debris from the event site
  • Removing waste to prevent bins from overflowing during busy periods
  • Monitoring and replenishing consumables throughout each shift

This approach allowed the team to stay ahead of demand and increase cleaning frequency during the busiest periods.

Providing 42 hours of cleaning support each week 

At York Maze, we provided six hours of on-site cleaning support seven days per week, totalling 42 hours of cover each week throughout the season.

The regular on-site presence allowed the team to monitor the facilities throughout the operating day and respond when visitor numbers and cleaning requirements increased.

Smart Cleaning also provided management oversight throughout the project, giving York Maze a consistent point of contact and helping to maintain reliable cleaning cover. Where sickness or absence affected the team, replacement cover was arranged to support continuity of service.

The results

The structured and responsive approach helped York Maze maintain clean and presentable facilities throughout the operating day, despite changing visitor numbers during the summer season.

Regular inspections meant that any issues were identified and addressed as they arose. The team also increased the frequency of inspections and cleaning during peak periods when demand was highest.

Management oversight and contingency cover also helped maintain consistent cleaning provision throughout the season, including when sickness or absence affected staffing.
