We're In-Tec Commercial Cleaning. This Is Our Story.

For more than 30 years, In-Tec Commercial Cleaning has built its reputation on one simple idea—when you do business honestly and treat people fairly, exceptional outcomes follow. That's who we are. No shortcuts, no excuses, just a team that takes pride in what they do and delivers real results.

Expect More from In-Tec, Because You Deserve More

If you’ve worked with commercial cleaners before, you’ve probably had the same frustrations as most of our clients. Maybe you’re tired of companies that start strong, then disappear once the contract is signed. Maybe you’re constantly chasing them to fix things that should’ve been done right the first time. Or maybe you’ve just never found a cleaner who actually cares about the job they do.

That’s why we built In-Tec differently. We don’t just send in cleaners and hope for the best. We’re on the ground, walking sites, checking the details, and making sure things are done properly. We’ve done the cleaning ourselves. We know what good work looks like, and we make sure our team is trained and supported to deliver it—every single day.

To some of you, the fact that we’ve been a family-owned and operated business for more than 30 years is a selling point. For others of you, it means absolutely nothing. And that’s okay. Because at the end of the day, what actually matters isn’t that we’re family—it’s how we run this business. We treat our team fairly. We take ownership of our work. We stand by our word. We make sure the job gets done right, every time.

The Principles We Built This Business On

We’ve never been interested in creating a list of feel-good "core values" just for show. Instead, we focus on three core principles. These principles are the standards that guide every decision we make—how we treat our team, how we work with clients, and how we operate every day.

Honesty

We tell the truth. Always. No exceptions. Whether it’s a client, a supplier, or a member of our team, we don’t play games or sugarcoat things. If something’s wrong, we fix it. If we screw up, we own it. Our clients know exactly where they stand with us—no second-guessing, no hidden agendas. Open, direct communication makes everything easier—and it’s the only way we do business.

Quality

There’s a difference between providing a cleaning service and actually delivering quality. Quality means doing the job properly, every time. It means giving our team the right training, tools, and support to meet high standards—not just tick a box. And it means auditing our work instead of waiting for clients to notice what’s been missed. Because when you pay for quality, that is what you should expect.

Ownership

We take responsibility for the work we do, and we expect our team to do the same. That’s why we only hire employees—not contractors. Our cleaners are part of a team that’s fully trained, supported, and committed to doing the job right. And when we clean your space, we treat it like it’s our own. If we say we’ll do something, we do it. If something goes wrong, we fix it. That’s what ownership means to us.

Our Cleaners Are the Heart of In-Tec

When people think about commercial cleaning, they often picture a company or a brand. But the reality is, cleaning isn’t about a company—it’s about the people doing the work. The ones showing up every night, scrubbing, mopping, vacuuming, and making sure your space is clean and ready for the next day.

But too often, cleaners are overlooked—treated like background workers or worse, slave labour. At In-Tec, we don’t just acknowledge our cleaners—we respect them. They're human beings. They’re skilled workers. They have families. They have stories. They have goals. And they deserve the same level of training, support, and fair pay as anyone else.

That’s why our cleaners are employees, not contractors. They’re trained properly, paid properly, and placed in roles that set them up for success. Some work best alone, others thrive in teams, and we take the time to make sure they’re in the right environments to do their best work.

Because when cleaners are treated properly, they take pride in their work. And when they take pride in their work, our clients get the high-quality service they expect—every single time. At the end of the day, happy cleaners mean happy clients. It’s really that simple.

The Promises We Make (+ Keep) at In-Tec Commercial Cleaning

Before my wife, Anne, and I founded In-Tec Commercial Cleaning over 30 years ago, I started as a cleaner, scrubbing toilets and mopping floors. I’ve seen firsthand how broken this industry can be. But it doesn’t have to be.

What We Promise You

How to Tell If Your Cleaners Use Sham Contractors

Let's not forget who the real victims are—the cleaners. The people turning up to your office every day, doing the hard, dirty jobs, only to be ripped off. They’re forced to work completely unreasonable hours just to survive.

Discover the Truth

How to Evaluate Accountability in a Cleaner (+ Why It's Rare)

It’s hard to know if your cleaner is keeping their promises. You’re busy running your organisation. You shouldn’t have to second-guess whether the job’s being done properly. But without accountability, you’re just hoping for the best.
