Outsourcing office cleaning
Many organisations in Banjul, Kairaba Avenue and Serekunda prefer a contract with a professional cleaning company instead of employing cleaners directly. You get trained staff, supervision, cover for absences and one point of contact. First Arch provides office cleaning and janitorial staff for offices, banks, NGOs, hotels and schools.
Safety first: always test products on a hidden area, follow the label, and never mix bleach with other cleaning products.
