Manpreet Aulakh
Operations Director
Manpreet Aulakh and his wife Raj are the major shareholders of SteamCleanz, with Manpreet having been with the company for eight years. During his tenure, Manpreet progressed from operations manager to operations director and eventually acquired a shareholding in the business, following discussions about the possibility of him taking on this role from day one. Over the last 3-4 years, the company engaged in serious succession planning, indicating a deliberate and strategic approach to the transition of ownership within the business.

The Art of SteamCleaning
Steam cleaning is recommended for use on your walls, ceilings, floors and upholstery. It works by converting water into dry steam vapour (at about 130oC).
The key benefits are that:
- This system kills the majority of bacteria, delivering more hygienic results – which is precisely why it is trusted for use in hospitals throughout Europe.
- It reduces the amount of water required to clean effectively (as a small amount of water makes a lot of steam), which is better for the environment. Water savings have been calculated at up to 90%. You reduce the quantities of cleaning products required by around 80%. This is better for the environment and decreases your exposure to chemicals and surfaces are left almost touch-dry after cleaning.
Where steam cleaning is not the best option, we have a range of environmentally friendly cleaning products we can employ. For your well-being, and that of the environment, we don’t use nasty, aggressive chemicals.
So whether you need regular cleaning (on a weekly or monthly basis) or just a one-off professional cleaning, the SteamCleanz team is available at a time that suits you.
