Professional 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.
