Keeping 2000 Alban Arena attendees clean

03 March 2026

UP TO 2000 folk attend shows held at the Alban Arena in St Albans – and that means keeping them clean.

Rising to the occasion is contractor, Guy Scott of St Albans’ based cleaning company, Scott and Sons.

Opened in 1968, the Alban Arena has since been providing leisure and entertainment to the local population and hosts more than 250 shows each year, including music theatre and comedy.

With a capacity of over 2000 people, this popular venue requires regular cleaning and maintenance.

Over the last 35 years, Scott & Sons has provided essential first-class cleaning services throughout the Hertfordshire area meeting the developing needs of domestic and commercial clients.

Guy may have a large number of staff but he still likes to “get his hands dirty” on many of them more prestigious contracts.

“And this is one!”, he says.

“Tasked with cleaning the seating we were honoured to be the preferred contractor for this important job,” says Guy.

“Our vast experience in the leisure sector meant that we were fully aware of the importance of choosing the right product for the upholstery.

Guy and the team set to, starting with a test area using Prochem B108 Fabric Restorer to tackle ice cream deposits and greasy handprints.

“It worked a treat, so we progressed with this as our main cleaning agent, “says the boss.

“A couple of the chairs needed careful attention with a pre-spotter, on this occasion Prochem’s B144 Stain Pro, as evidence of food staining was very clear.

Moving onto the carpets in the Arena, the job proved to be a little more straightforward.

“We chose to use Prochem B109 Fibre & Fabric Rinse in the tank with a pre-spray of S709 Multi Pro,” says Guy.

“The carpets came up extremely well, meaning we produced such a good standard of clean that the client has booked us on a scheduled basis moving forward.”
