Do Cleaners Steal When Left Alone? Let’s Debunk the Myth

There’s one question we hear all the time (but rarely out loud):

“What if the cleaner steals something?”

It’s a fair concern — your office, clinic, or gym contains valuables, data, and client privacy. But here’s the truth:

🧠 Most Cleaners Don’t Steal — Here’s Why

  • Cleaners rely on trust and long-term gigs. One mistake = lost work forever

  • Professional cleaning companies like Ultrix do background checks and vetting

  • Incidents usually involve informal hires — not trained, contracted professionals

📊 Stats & Reality Check

  • Less than 0.1% of commercial cleaning jobs involve proven theft (SafeWork NSW)

  • Ultrix has done 1,400+ cleans with zero theft claims

  • 70% of our clients give us keys and alarm access — with no issues

🔐 What We Do to Earn Trust

  • All staff police-verified

  • Keyholder contracts + GPS check-ins

  • Before/after reports sent after every clean

“We’ve cleaned for clinics, law firms, and bars. If we weren’t trusted, we wouldn’t exist.”

📣 Call to Action

If you don’t trust your current cleaner, it’s time to find one you can. Let us walk through and show you what accountability actually looks like.
