At Citrus Cleaning, we prioritise professionalism and safety in every aspect of our work. Our uniform and footwear policy is designed to reflect these values, ensuring a consistent and professional image while maintaining the safety of our team.
Can I Wear Trainers?
Yes you can but there are some guidance around trainers. Trainers must be no slip and should only be Plain Black or white. They should not be any other colours otherwise they are not part of the approved Citrus Cleaning uniform and are not suitable for the tasks we undertake. Here’s why:
1. Safety Concerns
Cleaning work often involves handling chemicals, working in wet environments, and moving heavy objects. Trainers typically lack the non-slip soles and protective features necessary to keep you safe in these conditions.
Proper footwear minimises the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which are common workplace hazards in our industry.
2. Professional Appearance
As a representative of Citrus Cleaning, your appearance reflects on the company. Wearing the correct footwear helps maintain the professional image our customers expect.
Trainers can look casual and out of place with the rest of the uniform, detracting from the polished appearance we aim to present.
What Should I Wear Instead?
We require all staff to wear the designated work shoes provided or approved by Citrus Cleaning. These shoes are:
Non-slip: To reduce the risk of accidents in wet or slippery areas.
Closed-toe and durable: For protection against dropped objects and other potential hazards.
Uniform-compliant: Matching the rest of your work attire for a professional look.
What Happens If I Wear Trainers?
Wearing trainers during your shift may result in:
Being asked to change into appropriate footwear before starting work.
Potential disciplinary action for repeated non-compliance with the uniform policy.
Where Can I Get Approved Work Shoes?
Citrus Cleaning provides a list of recommended suppliers where you can purchase affordable and compliant work shoes.
Contact your supervisor if you need assistance obtaining the correct footwear.
By adhering to this policy, you contribute to a safer, more professional work environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to Citrus Cleaning’s standards.
