Contract cleaning team at Dubai Marina Mall scores 100% during air quality audit process

Transguard Group, a part of the Emirates Group, along with its partner Diversey, a supplier of sustainable cleaning and hygiene solutions, has become the first company in the Middle East to be certified under Healthy High Performance Cleaning (HHPC) audit process in the Dubai Marina Mall. Announcing this, Transguard claimed that applying its stringent Children’s and Schools Certification criteria to measure the effect of cleaning on Indoor Air Quality, internationally-recognised Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) approved the patented Diversey cleaning programme.

From L to R: Ian Veazey, I&L Sales Director, Diversey Gulf; Charlotte Butt, FM Services Account Manager Transguard Group; Tanu Chowdhury, Site Manager for Transguard at Dubai Marina Mall; Mike Kitchen, Head of FM Services, Transguard Group and Geoff Shewry, Deputy MD of Transguard Group

Commenting on the audit process, Charlotte Butt, FM Services Account Manager, Transguard Group, said: “We conducted a series of practical training sessions for our staff, such as how to minimise misting of chemicals in spray applications and how to use dilution control systems. Once finished, we were audited by Diversey and our compliance was validated.”

Ian Veazey, I&L Sales Director, Diversey Gulf, added: “The programme combines certified cleaning products and microfibre with clear procedures to form the first cleaning programme certified for Indoor Air Quality. There is no room for error; all of the procedures in 14 key areas covering dust mopping and carpet care to pest management and spills, must be met comprehensively, and Transguard is the first company in the Middle East to do so.”
