75-30-minutesProfessional cleaners should work not only efficiently and qualitatively, they should work quickly. Nobody needs a cleaner who only plays for time. The World Wide Cleaning Industry Association ISSA has published a brochure where they’d calculated the cleaning time of different things.
These ISSA standards are interesting to read and sometimes to show to your cleaning company in order they roll up the sleeves and get to the real cleaning.

So, in 30 minutes a professional cleaner should:

·    Clean up to 60 desk phones

·    The outside of 10-15 microwaves

·    Thoroughly clean 20-30 chairs

·    300 dumbbells

·    10-15 Pilates machines

·    Thoroughly clean 10-15 bathroom sinks

·    Outside of 10-15 lockers

·    Be able to empty 50-60 trash cans

·    Vacuum 12-15 small offices using HEPA backpack vacuum

·    Or mop the middle-sized lobby about 6-8 times

Are your workers that quick?

Yes, speed is important, but results are more important than that.

71-main-cleaning-productsFacility Cleaning Decisions Magazine conducted a survey among the facility managers. They were asked about the cleaning products that they consistently need to order and keep in stock.

Here are their most common answers:

The first place goes to paper towels and tissues.

The runner-up is sanitizer (disinfectant) and hand soap receiver the third prize.

So, what conclusions can we make thanks to this survey? Hand hygiene and germ-free surfaces are very important for any office building.

61-shopping-mallMalls around the country are the most popular and the most visited places. Doctors and heath experts announced that there are eight places that are homes for millions of bacteria and viruses: the flu viruses, E. coli and others.

Food Courts Tables

We think that all food courts are clean and sanitized, but actually the cleaners use the rags and cloths that contain bacteria that can be spread around, such as E. coli.

Restroom Sinks

Experts agree that the germiest places in restrooms are sinks and soap dispensers. Use special hand sanitizers and they will help you to decrease the number of bacteria on your hands.

ATM Keypads

Researches have found that every ATM key contain 1,200 germs, including viruses and bacteria. The germiest key is ENTER because everybody touches it.

Fitting Rooms

Not only fitting rooms, but also such an action as trying on clothes can lead to catching different diseases. Be careful and use hand sanitizers at least.

Toy Stores

Experts say that toy stores can contain much more germs than playgrounds. This happens because very often children behave inadequately at the stores in order their parents buy a toy they like. Kids lick them, rub their faces, kiss toys, etc.

Electronic Shops

Different gadget shops are not safe because people touch these gadgets thousands of times, if not more. Scientists also conduct the research that showed that viruses can be easily transferred between screens (glass surfaces) and fingers.

Be aware of phones, remote controls and other small things

Everybody knows that remote controls and phones are homes for millions of bacteria. Before using it, it is recommended to sanitize them.
