Creating a cleaning concept: step by step

A good cleaning concept clearly answers what is cleaned where and how often - and what it costs. It is the basis for budgets, tenders and smooth operations. Here is how it is created step by step.

Step 1: record areas

At the start is the asset inventory: all buildings, floors, rooms and outdoor areas with their coverings and room types. The more precise this basis, the more robust the whole concept.

Step 2: define cleaning types and intervals

For each area it is defined which cleaning type is needed at which interval: maintenance cleaning in everyday use, deep and interim cleaning at longer intervals, plus special work such as window cleaning.

Step 3: calculate the effort

The annual effort results from area, performance value and interval - objective and transparent. From this, workloads in FTE percentages and the costs can be derived.

Step 4: plan and allocate

The calculated effort is transferred into route, weekly and annual planning and distributed across teams. This turns the concept into an implementable process.

Step 5: document and keep up to date

A cleaning concept is not a one-off document. If areas or use change, it must grow with them. If everything is in one software, changes are immediately consistent everywhere.

Conclusion

A solid cleaning concept builds on clean recording and an objective calculation. easyCAFM brings these steps together in one platform - from the area to the planning.
