Delphis Eco

Ten years ago, Marsha Grant was ahead of her time when she set-up a contract cleaning business which would clean entire properties using products that were harmless for her staff and for the environment.

'Although we started using ecological products out of necessity, it now gives us a competitive advantage'. Marsha Grant, owner and manager of Matgag, contract cleaning services.

The motivation for setting up such a business was selfish to start with - Marsha is gluten intolerant and has a very sensitive skin. She has had to adapt her diet and life style to her condition, but being a trained chef meant that she was constantly exposed to chemicals which would generate allergic reactions and make her skin flare up.

'I then thought about how we stay cooped inside the kitchen all day and how we flush chemicals down the sinks, through the dishwasher and down the drains'. She decided to investigate cleaning products and the various options available and worked with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (www.cieh.org) on her research. What she found was alarming. 

She now successfully runs Matgag Cleaning services, a company specialising in special events cleaning; using only green products.

'The products we now use are also very effective. We specialise in cleaning buildings after refurbishments or at change of ownership - they are invariably heavily soiled, dusty, greasy, mouldy etc. The ecological range we use is so powerful that we can now clean and disinfect an entire building with just three products. For example,  the multi-purpose cleaner cleans all surfaces but it is also great against grease & fat stains. We also use it to clean carpets but at a different dilution ratio which means that the multipurpose cleaner is actually saving us a lot of money - a saving which we can then pass on to our clients'.

'We are starting to notice a shift in our clients' mentality - they are still very focused on price but the welfare of the cleaning staff is also becoming a concern, which is nice for us'. 

To clean the inside of a whole building, Marsha's staff would typically use the following products:

• Delphis Multi Purpose Cleaner
• Delphis Washroom Cleaner
• Delphis Anti Bacterial Sanitiser
• Water and newspaper for windows & Stainless steel
