Frequently asked questions

How long has Clean Planet Wellington been operating?

Clean Planet Wellington has provided commercial cleaning across Greater Wellington since 2007 — over 19 years. When we started, most commercial cleaning in Wellington relied on conventional chemical products. Clean Planet Wellington was among the first commercial cleaners in New Zealand to demonstrate that eco-certified products could meet the same cleaning standards as conventional chemicals across offices, medical facilities, schools, and gyms. That track record has been built across 160+ Wellington businesses, not through marketing, but through consistent results over nearly two decades.

What certifications does Clean Planet Wellington hold?

Three independently verified certifications. Toitū Net Carbon Zero (issued by Toitū Envirocare) certifies that our head office operations are carbon neutral through independent assessment — not self-declared. Sensitive Choice (issued by the National Asthma Council Australia) certifies that our products are independently tested and safe for use around people with asthma, allergies, and chemical sensitivities. BioGro organic certification applies to select product lines manufactured in New Zealand. All three require annual renewal and external audit.

Are Clean Planet Wellington's cleaning products made in New Zealand?

Yes. All Clean Planet Wellington cleaning formulations are manufactured in New Zealand using proprietary recipes developed for both commercial effectiveness and environmental safety. These are not generic imported products rebranded as green. The NZ-made formulations are what underpin our BioGro organic certification and Sensitive Choice approval — both require specific ingredient standards and independent testing that off-the-shelf imported products rarely meet. Safety data sheets for all products used on your site are available on request.

What cleaning products do commercial cleaners use?

Most commercial cleaners use conventional chemical products — bleach, quaternary ammonium compounds, and synthetic surfactants — that work but leave residual fumes and can irritate staff with respiratory sensitivities. Clean Planet Wellington uses Sensitive Choice certified formulations independently tested as safe for people with asthma and allergies, enzymatic and plant-based cleaners for most surfaces, and hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectants where clinical standards apply. All products are manufactured in New Zealand and certified under BioGro and Toitū Net Carbon Zero. Safety data sheets are available on request.

How many Wellington businesses does Clean Planet Wellington service?

Clean Planet Wellington currently serves 160+ commercial clients across Wellington CBD, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kāpiti Coast. Clients include corporate offices, medical centres, schools and ECE facilities, gyms, aged care facilities, government buildings, and retail spaces. Clean Planet Wellington is part of the wider Clean Planet New Zealand network, which serves 4,000+ businesses nationally. The Wellington region has been serviced continuously under the same regional management since 2007.

Does Clean Planet Wellington use subcontractors?

No. Every site is serviced by a dedicated, trained team working under direct management. All staff are Ministry of Justice police-vetted, reference-checked, and trained before their first visit to any client site. You get the same team every visit — people who know your space, your access requirements, and your standards. If a regular team member is unavailable, a fully briefed backup covers the visit under the same management structure. No rotating subcontractor pools, no casual labour.

Is Clean Planet Wellington safe for staff with asthma or allergies?

Yes. Clean Planet Wellington holds Sensitive Choice certification, meaning our products have been independently tested and verified as safe for people with asthma, allergies, and chemical sensitivities by the National Asthma Council Australia. This isn't a self-declared claim — it requires specific formulation standards and independent laboratory testing to qualify. We also hold BioGro organic certification on select products, applying stricter ingredient standards. For workplaces where staff have documented respiratory conditions, we can provide full safety data sheets before the first clean.

What types of facilities does Clean Planet Wellington clean?

Clean Planet Wellington cleans offices and corporate buildings, medical centres and GP clinics, gyms and fitness centres, schools and ECE childcare centres, aged care and retirement facilities, body corporate common areas, retail and hospitality spaces, and government buildings across Greater Wellington. Each environment requires a different approach — medical facilities use colour-coded infection control systems, schools require police-vetted staff under the Children's Act 2014, and gyms need pH-balanced equipment-safe sanitisers. We have dedicated protocols for each and don't apply a one-size-fits-all clean.

How can cleaning reduce landfill waste?

Commercial cleaning generates significant waste — single-use wipes, plastic product packaging, and chemical containers. Clean Planet Wellington addresses this at every level: concentrated product formulations that reduce packaging volume, microfibre cloths that replace disposable wipes across hundreds of uses, and product ranges certified under BioGro and Toitū Net Carbon Zero. We also work with clients on office waste separation, helping reduce what goes to landfill from each clean. As Wellington's only commercial cleaner with dual environmental certification, this isn't a marketing claim — it's independently verified.
