      <title>Responsible cleaning</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When it comes to cleaning the shared indoor spaces in our estates, the products we use are designed to be effective without being harsh. They are tough on dirt, odours and bacteria, but gentle on surfaces and everyday use areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This means:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0cm;"&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;a cleaner, fresher feel in communal areas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;lower levels of harsh fumes, improving indoor air quality&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;reduced risk of irritation for residents, visitors and pets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;protection for floors, windows and finishes, helping them last longer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our cleaners are also pH‑neutral, meaning they clean effectively without damaging delicate or high‑gloss surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.curo-group.co.uk/media/zpldrimg/p1004252.jpg?rmode=max&amp;amp;width=750" alt="Image of a member of the cleaning team, cleaning a doorway in a communal halway" width="750" height="513"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better for the environment — and our communities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Using environmentally responsible products helps reduce the wider impact of cleaning on the planet. Many of the products we use avoid unnecessary chemicals and are kinder to waterways once rinsed away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We also look beyond the product itself and focus on how it’s packaged and reused.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0cm;"&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;Reusable containers are collected, cleaned and refilled instead of thrown away&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;100% recycled plastic packaging helps reduce the need for new materials&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;Paper sachet refills cut down on plastic and avoid transporting excess water&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;Cleaning cloths and mops are returned for recycling, giving materials a second life&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;All of this means much less waste going to landfill and a smaller overall carbon footprint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.curo-group.co.uk/media/tilhugxf/loop-box.png?rmode=max&amp;amp;width=317&amp;amp;height=312" alt="Logo/image for Loop Box, the closed loop service for our cleaning products" width="317" height="312"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For residents, the right choices make a real difference&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Making sure we choose the right products means:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0cm;"&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;cleaner, healthier shared spaces&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;fewer chemical smells in enclosed areas like hallways and stairwells&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;a home environment that reflects responsible, modern estate management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"&gt;the reassurance sustainability is built into everyday services&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A cleaner today, a better tomorrow&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;By choosing environmentally friendly cleaning products and recycling systems, we’re helping to protect shared spaces now, and resources for the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s just one of the ways we’re committed to looking after our estates, our communities and the environment around us.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Introducing the Curo Grounds Team</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="exec_text"&gt;We now have a dedicated Grounds Team at Curo who will be carrying out repairs to paths, walls and fences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The team will be fixing cracks and replacing damaged sections in paths, repairing fencing posts and panels, and sorting out damaged brickwork and pointing in existing walls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Larger, more complex jobs, will continue to be managed by our contractors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/82QCGcqeecQ?si=kZG3tl5-fYuyIOST" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The team has been created to help ensure that these smaller repairs can be carried out more quickly and efficiently. They’ve already made great progress on reducing the number of outstanding jobs, completing around 65 tasks every month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have a path, wall or fence that needs repairing, please &lt;a href="/contact-us/mycuro-customer-portal/" title="MyCuro customer portal"&gt;get in touch through MyCuro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/contact-us/" title="Contact us"&gt;on the website&lt;/a&gt;, or by &lt;a href="tel:01225366000"&gt;calling the Customer Contact Team.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
