Excellent Cleaning, Life-
Changing Employment.

About us

Cleaning that makes a difference.

While the cleaning sector is often known for low wages and unethical employment, we wanted Upbeat Clean to be different. Upbeat Clean provides excellent service to our commercial clients while also paying a real living wage to our staff, providing mentoring opportunities and supported employment, and giving staff the flexibility to have a balanced family life. We treat our staff as we would like to be treated and in doing so, see them shine in their work and lives.

However, we don’t just want companies to choose our cleaning services because we are a social enterprise, we want to provide the best customer service in Derby. Every customer has a designated account manager who visits regularly to ensure that they receive the best service and experience the joy of having their premises cleaned exactly how they want it. At the same time knowing that their choice of cleaning service has made a real difference to families across Derby.

Our story.

Upbeat Clean is a charity-owned commercial cleaning business that provides excellent service to companies in Derby.

Upbeat Clean was established by Upbeat Communities who have served the refugee communities in Derby for over 15 years, seeking to help people who have fled their countries rebuild their lives here in Derby.

Upbeat Communities was aware that refugee women, who have shown such resilience and bravery in supporting their families through traumatic events, often have a real challenge finding flexible work that fits around childcare. This often leads to years of unemployment and the serious challenges that come with that. After considering dozens of Social Enterprise opportunities, we started Upbeat Clean to provide flexible, ‘Real Living Wage’ employment that can help refugee mums and others support their families and rebuild their lives.

“Fantastic clean, plus a kind and helpful team. Always on time too. We couldn't be happier with the service they've provided. Highly recommend.”

“Great cleaners - so hard working, always punctual and cheerful which I find amazing as cleaning St Werburgh's church is a big job, but they undertake it with enthusiasm every week! Would highly recommend.”
