Today’s economic climate continues to put pressure on clean-ing professionals to increase overall efficiency without sacrific-ing effectiveness. The global recession is pushing companies to reevaluate all strategies and technologies, cut costs and improve value propositions to a greater degree than ever before. For cleaning service professionals, there are a myriad of products and equipment designed to help cut costs and increase production rates without sacrificing quality of service. Unfortunately, with the economic conditions as they are, most budgets are stretched, making new equipment acquisition costs prohibitive. However, there are operational production strategies that have been proven beneficial in increasing productivity and effectiveness without the additional cost of new equipment. One of the most effective of those strategies is team cleaning. When properly implemented, team cleaning strategies have been tested and proven to provide: Increased efficiency — rates of production — by increasing the amount of work that can be done in a shorter amount of time Higher quality of services due to team cleaning’s self-monitoring features. These two team cleaning benefits, coupled with competi-tive rates, can result in a larger market share for cleaning con-tract professionals or reduced costs for in-house operators. 14 CM/Cleaning & Maintenance Management ® • May 2010
