Commercial cleaning company in Houten

Houten works differently from the average town

Houten is known for the way it is laid out. The municipality has been named Cycling City of the Netherlands (Fietsstad) twice, in 2008 and 2018, and it has two railway stations: Houten and Houten Castellum. You notice that at work too. Some of your colleagues and visitors come by bike or train, even when it's raining.

That may seem like a small detail, but it makes a difference in practice. In wet weather, more moisture and dirt comes in through the entrance, and changing rooms and showers get more use. That is a reason to give those rooms their own rhythm, separate from the rest of the building. That way, attention goes to the places where your people notice the difference.

In Houten, Shinesta works for facility managers, operations managers and business owners with a commercial building, showroom or office. Housing associations, owners' associations and property managers can also come to us for residential cleaning.

How we approach your commercial building

Many buildings in Houten combine different functions: a showroom or workshop downstairs, offices above and a canteen in between. We look at what each part needs.

• Showroom and reception. The place where customers come in. We keep the floor, the glass front and the windows in good order, and work before opening or after closing.
• Workshop and hall. Here it's mainly about dust, oil and walking routes. We periodically tackle the floors with deep cleaning.
• Office and canteen. Desks, kitchen unit and tables at a fixed rhythm, often at the start or end of the day. That falls under daily cleaning.
• Washrooms and changing rooms. These rooms usually have the highest frequency, especially if your people use them on busy days.

On a business park like De Schaft, the surroundings also play a part. Because there are residential areas around it, we look carefully at machines and outdoor work during early and late hours. On parks along the A27, that is less of an issue.

What times we work

Which times suit best depends on your company. You want a showroom clean before the first customer comes in, whereas an office can also be done at the end of the day. In a workshop, we look at the moments when no grinding or spraying is happening, because dust on a freshly cleaned floor wastes the work. We record those times in the plan, along with the agreements on keys, alarms and who you call if something comes up.

Glass, facades and new buildings

On young business parks like De Meerpaal, there are commercial buildings with large glass fronts and showroom windows. They are made to be seen, so streaks and fingerprints stand out quickly. Window cleaning at a fixed rhythm keeps that under control. Stickers, film and building dust after a new build or renovation fall under handover cleaning, and for contractors, construction cleaning is a topic of its own.

From Zwijndrecht to Houten

Let's be honest about the distance: we aren't based in Houten. Our address is in Zwijndrecht, and the A27 is the direct connection. So we have no office here. What we do have is an approach in which the agreements are right from the start. You know who comes, when that happens and how access is arranged. The moments of contact are fixed as well, so you don't have to chase us.

Why you can trust us

We are young and compact, and we personally make sure things go well. VCA and Keurmerk Schoon show that safety, administration, the collective labour agreement for cleaning and insurance are in order. An independent party audits this, so you don't have to take our word for it. That also lets you justify the choice to your own buyer or accountant.
