Welcome to RJ Cleaning Services. We are an experienced cleaning company which offer a cleaning service to both the private and public sectors.
ABOUT US
RJ Cleaning Sercices understand the need for an efficient and professional cleaning service and put pride in the value of the service we render to the client. Our passionate team of employees boasts a positive working attitude which guarantees a job well done every time.
Vision
We know that a clean working environment is indicative of an efficient, well run business, presents the best possible first impression to customers and the public and that it is vital for optimal staff productivity - therefore our visionary aim is to deliver the best cleaning service possible to our clients.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a satisfactory cleaning service with a compliment of well-trained staff, aided by the latest equipment and environmental friendly products.
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE)
As a fully owned BEE company we are committed to black economic empowerment and Affirmative Action (AA) policies and procedures. We aspire to acknowledge every day how much we owe to the people with whom we work – and to our clients, through our stable working environment, career prospects and on-going staff enrichment and training programmes (in excess of Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) requirements.)
Our genuine commitment to BEE is best reflected by the company’s 100% black South African ownership and its shareholding initiative - the company has allocated 20% of its shares into a trust account which has been allocated to supervisors and team leaders.
We constantly strive to be strategically innovative and remain committed to a level of service excellence which enables us to remain price competitive and retain our position as a market leader. Therefore we are also currently in the process of registering to become a member of the National Contract Cleaners Association (NCCA). The latter association is an integral part of the wage negotiating team which establishes wages and related benefits for employees in the Contract Cleaning Industry.
