Considering a DCA membership but want to know more about us before applying? Joining the DCA gives you access to training resources, legal guidance, and a supportive network that helps you to continuously improve your business, so if you're interested in exploring how our Alliance will benefit your domestic cleaning company, read on.

The Domestic Cleaning Alliance

The Domestic Cleaning Alliance (DCA) is a leading UK organisation that works to improve the standards of the cleaning industry. Our focus is upon protecting the hardworking, insured cleaning companies that operate within our often unregulated sector, and the clients that they serve, to achieve a trustworthy and improved reputation for the entire industry. 

So, what does the DCA offer you? 

Quality Assurance 

In order to achieve membership to the DCA, we require all of our members to provide evidence of their insurance coverage. This protects both them and their clients from any uninsured losses or incidents, and once we have received this evidence for your business, you are able to proudly display the DCA logo on all your marketing materials, websites, and client communications to signpost your credibility and reliability. 

You will also receive a listing for your domestic cleaning company on our official website, which allows potential clients to easily find you when searching for accredited, reliable services, and also helps clients to find a DCA member in their local area, rather than risking their homes to uninsured, unregulated businesses. 

Business Support

As a DCA member, you will never be out on your own in the complicated and hard-to-navigate industry - whether you need the legal advice of our team, or help with an ongoing issue, you'll benefit from extensive legal support and guidance to navigate challenges facing your domestic cleaning company. 

This includes comprehensive legal advice on various matters and a 24-hour telephone helpline for HR and legal issues, and you'll also receive ongoing telephone support for tax and health & safety concerns. Members also gain access to a full suite of 775 documents covering HR, tax, VAT, and health & safety regulations, so make sure that you're well-equipped to manage your business confidently and compliantly with our resources. 

Best Practices

At the DCA, our key priority is to improve the standard of service across the industry - and a big way that we achieve this is by supporting our members and offering invaluable advice and resources to those that need them across the industry. 

As a member, you gain access to support systems, resources, discounts, and networks that are designed to support you and improve your business operations. From a full suite of 775 documents for HR, legal, and health & safety matters, to access to our preferred suppliers list, you will never be on your own or without guidance when it comes to setting and committing to your best practices. 

Networking and Support

With a DCA membership, you gain invaluable opportunities to network with your fellow cleaning professionals and other business owners who are experiencing the same challenges and successes as you. Through our dedicated forums, you will be able to interact with these professionals to share experiences, seek advice, and build industry connections, and our members also have access to our Cleaning Jobs section, where you can post up to three recruitment opportunities and find qualified candidates to grow your team.

Industry Discounts

Finally, whilst we hope that you will join us in our efforts to improve the industry, we appreciate the strain that UK businesses are currently under. Whilst the domestic cleaning industry is booming and opportunities are widespread, the cost and pressure of maintaining reliable services can make it difficult to invest in the development of your domestic cleaning company - so, if you have found yourself struggling to access the resources, equipment, or products that you need, join us today to unlock discounts on a wide range of purchases for both personal and business use to equip your business and benefit your team. 

Supporting Your Domestic Cleaning Company

Customers can see you are a legitimate, tax-paying, insured organisation once you have taken out insurance and received your listing on our website, so show them that you are the ideal choice for customers researching reputable cleaning companies with a DCA membership.
