This week, the group heard from Dorothy Chakani of QSIP Cleans. Dorothy impressed the audience with a demonstration explaining why using a dolly mop can be counterintuitive and how to clean effectively using a scientific approach.

Dorothy is keen to be introduced to:
โžก๏ธ GP practices & physiotherapists
โžก๏ธ Dental clinics
โžก๏ธ Veterinary & animal clinics
โžก๏ธ Care homes
โžก๏ธ Salons, spas & tattoo studios
โžก๏ธ Nurseries & soft play areas

QSIP stands for Quality, Safety, and Infection Prevention. They are a specialist cleaning company and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) consultancy dedicated to helping organisations raise standards in hygiene, safety, and quality.

With a background in IPC nursing and hands-on experience in hospitals, care homes, construction sites, Airbnbs, and beauty salons, Dorothy brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge and practical expertise. Her goal is to help businesses create environments that not only look and feel clean but, more importantly, are genuinely safe.

QSIP Cleans supports industries where hygiene is critical to safety and reputation. Whether it is a veterinary clinic, dental practice, GP surgery, care facility, gym, tattoo studio, spa, or salon, they understand the challenges involved and are committed to providing solutions.

What sets QSIP apart is their collaborative approach. Their aim is not to replace existing cleaning teams but to enhance their effectiveness. By focusing on hard-to-reach and often overlooked areas where risk can quietly build up, QSIP helps close hygiene gaps that are easy to miss. Where needed, they provide practical training, guidance, simple systems, and tips to help teams maintain high standards over time.

By combining clinical-grade hygiene protocols with industry-specific solutions that are effective, sustainable, and practical, QSIP helps businesses create spaces that protect staff, clients, and reputations.
