By now, we all know the importance of cleanliness in a facility, but did you know that different facilities require different types of cleaning schedules and cleaning techniques? Here at Aspin Group, we know how confusing it can all get. That is why we are here today to share our ultimate guide to creating a cleaning schedule for different facility types. We will take you through different factors to consider when it comes to creating an effective cleaning schedule for different types of facilities. Let’s get straight into it! 

Identifying Facility Needs: 

It comes as no surprise that every facility will require different needs. Before you craft a cleaning schedule together, ensure that you understand your facility’s unique cleaning needs. For example, the areas in your facility that receive the highest foot traffic and most touched surfaces are going to require more frequent and thorough cleans in comparison to areas that do not receive a lot of foot traffic and highly touched surfaces. 

Cleaning Frequency: 

How often you should clean your facility is going to vary depending on your facility. High-traffic facilities, such as office buildings and shopping centres, will require daily cleaning in order to maintain hygiene and meet cleaning standards. However, facilities with less foot traffic might benefit from less frequent but thorough cleaning sessions. 

Prioritising and Task Allocation: 

If you want an effective cleaning schedule, then establishing your cleaning priorities and task allocation is going to be essential. Bathrooms, floor maintenance, and surface disinfection should be at the top of your priority list. Giving cleaning tasks to different cleaning staff allows you to get a clear understanding of who is doing what and ensures you are doing the job effectively.
