Total Clean Wins ACQ5 Sustainability Award 2025

If you’re looking for a cleaning partner who makes a real difference - not just for your workplace, but for the environment and your community -  this is a story you’ll want to read. We’re excited to share that Total Clean has been awarded the ACQ5 Sustainability Award 2025, celebrating those truly raising the bar on responsible business.

Why This Award Matters

Choosing a cleaning provider is about the trust, reliability, and the impact they deliver. This award, from a respected global panel, is a clear signal that Total Clean doesn’t just claim to be sustainable, but is reflected in what they do on a daily basis.

Here’s how our sustainability stacks up:

• 30% less energy used since 2019 means lower environmental impact at every site.
• 45% reduction in carbon emissions
• We power our HQ and fleet with renewable energy.

Smart Solutions for Facilities Teams: Digital systems cut paperwork, reduce reporting time, and waste. You get live contract data and smooth communication - leaving you time to focus on your business and not the cleaning.

Next-Gen Product Choices: Our eco-friendly, refillable Total Defence cleaning range has wiped out 2.1 tonnes of single-use plastic and eliminated nearly all liquid product transport. The result? Cleaner workplaces and a drastic reduction in plastic waste.

Our People Are the Difference

Our teams are passionate, BICSc trained professionals, current on the latest sustainability practices. Every staff member, from our cleaning operatives to site supervisors, have a role in driving green initiatives and upholding the highest standards in your building/office space.

• Employee engagement: Our Eco-Champions scheme lets any team member lead a green project - because great ideas can come from anywhere.
• Career progression: More than 10% of our staff have moved into management roles in just three years, reflecting a team that knows, lives, and grows sustainability.

We Give Back, Too

Sustainability extends to our business model and community commitment. Several of our operational hubs now donate 100% of their profits to local hospice care, and our teams actively plant trees, support charities, and deliver genuine local impact - so when you choose Total Clean, you support more than just a cleaning service.

Turning Challenges into Wins

Our journey hasn’t been without challenges. Adopting new technology and eco-friendly products meant coaching and changing habits across a diverse workforce and supply chain - however, with persistence and phased rollouts coupled with practical training, more than 85% of our suppliers now meet our strict environmental standards.

Why This Matters to Facilities, Office, and Estate Managers

• Live up to your own ESG commitments with a partner that proves sustainability isn’t a buzzword.
• Stronger staff wellbeing thanks to healthier spaces and less chemical exposure.
• Confidence in compliance with ISO 14001 and third-party-verified results.

Looking Forward: Let’s Build a Cleaner Future Together
