National Dog Day 2023

August 25, 2023/0 Comments/in Your-Option /by Fleur

Please see our latest blog post ahead of National Dog Day and some pictures of the Your Option Team dogs!

National Dog Day was established in 2004 by an animal advocate, to celebrate the heroism of every dog. Sadly, each year, millions of dogs become homeless because they are unwanted or their owners are unable to care for them. The day aims to raise awareness about the number of dogs that are currently in rescue centres and shelters and encourage the adoption of these beautiful animals. 🐶

Dogs not only play with us but they also play many important roles within our lives. They protect us, boost our mental and physical health and also maybe steal the odd shoe or two…

By adopting, supporting or rehoming a dog not only are you completely changing that dogs life for the better; providing it with stability, love, warmth and a lifelong friendship; but that dog will also completely change your life in return.

There is a reason that dogs are known best as being ‘man’s best friend’, they love unconditionally without judgement, they can make you laugh on those down days, they provide support when there is possibly no one else to do so.

Of course not everyone is in a position to be able to re-home or adopt a dog, but every little helps; donating blankets, food or toys to your local rescue centre or shelter can also make the biggest difference all round.

Please join us in sharing a picture of your pooch to celebrate the joy they bring!

Reactive Cleaning

August 16, 2023/0 Comments/in Clean Extreme Option /by LWDadmin

There are of course many benefits to following a planned cleaning schedule; down-time can be kept to a minimum as you can choose the most convenient time to complete services, businesses can often offer a quicker turnaround time since the work is booked into the schedule with the necessary equipment, chemicals and staff in place.

Nonetheless, emergency situations and requests quite frequently arise. The unpredictability of bio-hazardous situations and fires and floods taking place to name a few; can cause chaos for businesses, customers and tenants. Here at Your Option Services, we understand how detrimental these situations can be for residents and businesses and we are fully equipped to respond to these emergency jobs within sixty minutes, then our specialised operatives can also be on site within sixty minutes.

When we discuss reactive cleaning, it’s important to understand why these types of cleaning services do in fact require a reactive response; there is an urgent requirement for them to be dealt with rapidly, this could be due to various risks such as contamination, slip or trip hazards, trauma, time constraints.

Some of the service types that require a reactive response have been mentioned however, Your Option Services also have a dedicated team trained specifically in the removal of hazardous items such as needles, syringes and other sharp objects commonly found in disused properties, bins, public toilets and car park stairways. The removal of these items is another regular aspect of reactivity given the risks of these items being within public areas. Using specialist equipment and clothing our teams are able to remove the items safely and promptly and leave the site clean and safe for our customers.

So whether it is a hazardous environment or bio-hazard clean, flood damage or sewage clean up; whatever your need, our hassle free and professional service offers highly responsive and reliable emergency cleaning services in line with our service level agreements, day or night.

Reactive, rapid and reliable.

Embracing Eco-Friendly Practices

August 9, 2023/0 Comments/in Eco Cleaning /by LWDadmin

Your Option Services will always attempt to ensure we are working in line with best practice and really understanding what our clients actually want from us.

We have been and will continue to embrace eco-friendly practices within the workplace. We want to keep your properties, gardens & places you love clean and tidy, so why would we not want to keep the environment clean?

Eco Green Cleaning services and products are the cleaning procedures which are classed as safe for the environment and do not emit any toxic fumes… But there are so many different types of cleaning products which are labelled as ‘green’, so what does this really encompass? If a product is green, it should meet ALL of the following criteria:

Safe for water, ecosystems and fish
Made from plants and not petroleum
Biodegradable
Better for the air quality (less smog)
No carcinogens
Produces less waste for landfills
Better for energy conservation
Sustainable ingredients

A normal product that is full of chemicals may be aggressive and good at removing some pretty big stains however, they can also be aggressive on people’s health and the environment.

Embracing eco-friendly practices does not just mean utilising chemicals that are safer for the environment, but it means minimising all the various other environmental impacts that arise in making and using cleaning products, such as energy consumption & waste disposal but also utilising energy-efficient equipment.

In line with our eco-friendly practices, here at Your Option giving back is at the heart of what we do. Now anyone can participate in giving back to the community however, we believe that businesses can and should make a much larger impact. We focus on building a rapport with our clients within their own communities; this is largely helped by the fact our operatives live within the communities they are working in; which subsequently helps with reducing our carbon footprint and the need to travel.

So, how are we keeping things eco-friendly whilst giving back? Your Option Services have been working closely with Re-Use now, if you would like to know more about the work that they do, please check out their website Home – Reuse Network (reuse-network.org.uk). Quite often when we have completed a job we often have unwanted items that we need to remove from properties, rather than taking these straight to a waste site we work closely with Re-Use to therefore help to reduce poverty, tackle waste and offer brighter and better futures for the most isolated individuals within our communities.
