WEATHER-WASHED SURFACES!
Marco Paladini is the Director of Hygienized Pty Ltd and visionary founder of Hygienized, a brand built on a passion for cleanliness, health, and creating a better future. With a background in hospitality and a deep-rooted commitment to excellence, Marco embarked on a mission to transform spaces and elevate well-being through innovative cleaning and hygiene solutions.
The global pandemic served as an unexpected catalyst in Marco's journey. Finding himself without a job, he leveraged his extensive experience in high-profile hospitality venues to gain new opportunities in the commercial cleaning sector. He had the honor of working for major Australian groups such as Vicinity Group (Chadstone Shopping Centre) with Spotless/Downer Group, Westfield, and Ikon Services Australia. These experiences provided him with invaluable insights and experience into the high standards of commercial cleaning and waste management.
During this challenging time, Marco achieved a significant milestone: the official registration of the Hygienized trademark with the Australian Government agency that administers intellectual property, IP Australia . This marked the beginning of our movement that's gaining momentum, exceeding even Marco's expectations
Marco is incredibly humbled and honored by the profound positive feedback received from clients, which serves as the core fuel that inspires Hygienized to keep growing and sharing its passion for hygiene. He is a hands-on mentor who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and work alongside his team. He inspires to strive for excellence, exceed expectations, and always put the customer at the heart of everything they do. He leads with courtesy, humility, and professionalism, fostering a company culture where everyone feels valued and empowered
Within the first 15 months of operation, Hygienized High Pressure Cleaning was named a finalist in the local business awards, a testament to the brand's rapid growth and positive impact. This recognition came after Marco received a phone call from the Local Business Award executive team, announcing that clients had been nominating him for his outstanding service in the trades and services category. The award gala dinner ceremony, a celebration of local excellence, was held at the prestigious Langham in Melbourne
Marco's entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to quality led to the development of Hygienized's first-of-its-kind biocide treatment service offering, a testament to his innovative thinking and pursuit of excellence. Now, Marco is leading Hygienized into a new era with the launch of a cosmetic product line with the company branded Castile Soap which gained Australian Made Certification, aiming forward to enter the professional-grade cleaning product sector in the near future. This expansion is a testament to his visionary leadership and unwavering belief in the power of hygiene to transform lives
Never forgetting his roots, Marco is deeply grateful to the initial clients who entrusted him with their cleaning needs. To show his appreciation, he recently announced the formation of the Founder's Club, granting his first-year customers a lifetime discount on all services and products, as well as exclusive access to future company events
But Marco's dedication to building a better future extends beyond his business. As an active member of Lions Australia with the Lions Club of Brighton Inc, he embodies the spirit of service and community engagement. He generously offers his cleaning services to those in need, particularly the elderly who cannot afford them. He enjoys connecting with his community, firing up the BBQ at Bunnings sausage sizzles and other events with his fellow Lions members. As the Christmas Cake Chairman of the club, he leads the annual Lions Christmas Cake fundraiser, helping raise funds alongside his beloved club members and executives to give back to his community locally and around the world through the Lions International Network
Marco's core values of quality, excellence, innovation, customer focus, and community service are woven into the fabric of Hygienized. His passion for building a cleaner, healthier future is contagious, inspiring his team and clients alike to join the Hygienized movement
