Mikes Cleaners Accessibility Statement and Policy
Accessibility Statement for Mikes Cleaners Area
Mikes Cleaners is committed to making our services, premises and online information accessible to everyone in the Mikes Cleaners area. This statement explains our accessibility standards, the features we provide to support inclusive access, and how we approach continuous improvement. We aim to meet recognized accessibility requirements so that customers with disabilities can use our services with confidence.
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level as a baseline for our public-facing digital content. Our efforts include testing pages for semantic structure, logical headings, meaningful link text and support for assistive technologies. In our physical locations we take steps to ensure clear signage, level access points and accessible counters where practical to support local area accessibility.
Key digital commitments include support for screen readers, robust keyboard navigation and adequate color contrast for text and interactive controls. We use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes where appropriate to improve compatibility with popular screen-reader software. Our goal is to ensure that customers using assistive technology can find, understand and complete common tasks such as placing an order, checking service details or locating a nearby branch.
How we design for usability and accessibility
We implement keyboard-friendly navigation so users can operate our site and kiosks without a mouse. This includes visible focus indicators, logical tab order and explicit skip-links to bypass repetitive content. We also prioritize content clarity: concise headings, descriptive buttons and forms that include labels and helper text to reduce confusion for everyone.
Features and compatibility — Our platform is tested across common assistive technologies and browsers. We provide captions or transcripts for audiovisual materials when available, and avoid relying on color alone to convey information. In-store digital displays and kiosks are configured to the extent practical to be readable and navigable by visitors with varying needs.
We also maintain a program of manual and automated testing and periodically review pages and store interfaces for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Where limitations are found, we document them, prioritize fixes and seek solutions that balance usability and practical delivery for the Mikes Cleaners community.

We aim to respond to accessibility requests promptly and to work with individuals to find suitable solutions.
Reporting issues and ongoing improvement — If you encounter barriers while using our services or notice an accessibility concern, please let us know so we can investigate and remedy the issue. We treat accessibility as an ongoing commitment: we update procedures, train staff and incorporate accessibility into procurement and product decisions to reduce future barriers.
Limitations: despite our efforts, some third-party content or legacy pages may not fully comply with WCAG 2.1 AA. When that occurs we will identify alternatives or provide direct assistance to help you access the same information or service. Our objective is continuous improvement across both digital and physical customer experiences.
