New Safeclean Franchisee - Doug Hain

Safeclean Lincolnshire will officially launch in March 2026, serving a wide stretch of the county from Colsterworth to Caistor and Retford to Chapel St Leonards. The new business will provide specialist carpet, upholstery, rug and leather cleaning, backed by more than sixty years of Safeclean expertise.

Doug brings over two decades of frontline customer service and leadership experience to his new venture. Having spent much of his career working closely with the public, he has a long-established reputation for reliability, problem-solving and high standards – qualities that align closely with Safeclean’s values. His move into business ownership marks a long-held ambition to build something of his own while contributing to the communities he knows so well.

Safeclean has been a trusted name in professional cleaning since 1965 and works in partnership with Guardsman, the UK’s leading furniture care and protection provider. Across the country, Safeclean specialists support tens of thousands of homes every year, offering tailored cleaning solutions designed to extend the life of carpets and furniture. Doug’s Lincolnshire territory becomes the newest part of this national network, supported by ongoing training and the latest industry techniques.

For Doug, the appeal of Safeclean lay not only in the strength of the brand, but also in the opportunity to deliver a highly personal, local service. He believes strongly in taking the time to understand each customer’s home, lifestyle and concerns, whether that’s tackling stubborn stains, restoring the appearance of well-loved upholstery or providing long-term protection for busy family spaces. His focus on clear communication and professionalism means customers can expect honest advice, transparent pricing and a service built around their needs.

In preparation for his March 2026 launch, Doug is undergoing an extensive training programme covering technical cleaning skills, machine maintenance, stain treatment, health and safety, customer communication and product knowledge. This ensures that when he arrives on a customer’s doorstep, he brings not only the Safeclean name but the depth of expertise required to deliver it to a high standard.

Safeclean Lincolnshire will be equipped to support both domestic and commercial clients, including homeowners, landlords, holiday lets and small businesses across the county. Doug looks forward to becoming a familiar face in the area, building long-term customer relationships and supporting Lincolnshire residents in keeping their homes fresh, clean and cared for.

Safeclean Lincolnshire will open for bookings in early 2026, with enquiries welcomed from January.
