Day in the life of a Franchisee
A day in the life of a Safeclean franchisee can be very varied. You’ll be working on a wide variety of jobs in different surroundings, with the opportunity to meet lots of different people.
Whether you’re running your Safeclean business as a management franchise or as a sole trader, your tasks will be a combination of carpet & upholstery cleaning and general business management and development.
This makes for a varied diary that allows you to plan your business to fit in with your lifestyle.
Hear from two of our brilliant franchisees on what a typical day looks like for them...
Dave Harrison - Sole Trader
Daily Schedule:
The beauty of being a Safeclean franchisee is my life fits entirely around it - I am not tied to 9 to 5 routines, so every day is different. But it always starts with a cuppa and checking my emails for any enquiries or jobs that may have come in overnight, then it’s time to hit the road. My territory covers a large area, so I always allocate my work to whereabouts I have chosen to be on that day, thus maximising the use of my time and resources. I look to do around 4 calls per day, sometimes more, as I often get a call during the day where I have been found thru Safeclean's website or my own social media/internet platforms and each day always a mix of Guardsman work and private calls - there’s always plenty to do! But I’m always home at a reasonable hour where I spend about 60 mins invoicing/updating calls and dealing with any other enquiries that may have come in. I have plenty of hobbies and interests - and now I have time for them.
I investigated several franchised opportunities but somehow I kept coming back to look deeper at Safeclean - Unlike most others I could start earning from day one with the Guardsman calls, the investment required was very competitive, you are genuinely part of a team, the training is comprehensive and thorough, and help and support in any aspect of the business is a phone call away.

Martin Jordan - Management Franchisee
Daily Schedule:
- 7am - Get into the office
- 7.50am - My 2 technicians arrive. I brief them on their day's work, what to look out for, pitfalls, extra work, potentially difficult customers, parking and collection of monies.
- 8:05am - The 2 technicians leave for their jobs. I then start planning for the following day, making sure all diaries are full to capacity. I usually then do administration work and update my wife, Lou, as to what further admin work needs doing.
- 9am - I leave for my appointments – a combination of Guardsman and retailer callouts, protection application and any extra cleaning that my 2 techs can’t cope with. I also build quotes for potential customers. I usually carry out between 6-9 appointments myself most days and use a call answering service for customer queries.
- 4pm - Return to the office, answer all my emails and review the day’s work. I then aim to make appointments for Guardsman callouts and make any calls that I haven’t managed to do during the day.
- 6:30 - 7pm - I finish up any last bits in the office and get ready for my day tomorrow. Leave the office.
"Running a management franchise has enabled me to take on more territories, which means more work and an increase in revenue. To complete all this work, I’ve recruited two technicians as well as my wife, who is responsible for a lot of the administration work"
