Ok, here are my final notes on NOTICE-able Cleaning – how you can efficiently, consistently and profitably deliver it.You’ll need to make two shifts. A shift in thinking and a shift in hours.You need a shift in thinking because you need to not only accept the idea of creating NOTICE-able cleaning makes sense, but that it’s worth the initial challenge and awkwardness of actually implementing it.And that’s how precisely how I suggest you start – by trying it out in one or two buildings as a test – to see for yourself how it works and how well it works!So let’s assume you’ve already performed a test for long enough to convince you of its benefits.Now, let’s explain the shift in hours.This shift is essentially a redistribution of the total hours available for the job/week.For example, you may want to look at cleaning most nights with a ‘basics only’, ‘touch-up’ or ‘lite cleaning’ approach in mind.Why? drum roll please…… to be able to ‘afford’ the hours needed for the BIG, labor intensive DETAIL cleaning night – that can deliver the NOTICE-able Cleaning effect! Let’s see what this might look like.A building having a total of 18 hrs./week of cleaning available to meet budget might consist of:Three (3) hours Mon-Thurs ‘basics only’ cleaning, and Six (6) hours of DETAIL cleaning scheduled on Friday.Here’s a couple important things to remember.Implementing this strategy isn’t easy – again, nothing worthwhile ever is.* Trying to ‘trim’ the cleaning hours from some nights to ‘find’ the hours needed for the big, DETAIL night – isn’t easy.*Trying to ‘fill’ or ‘staff up’ a building with qualified cleaners a few hours most nights – and LOTS of hours on the BIG detail night isn’t easy either.*Same goes for trying to find a way to clean a building on the ‘basics only’ nights that still delivers a result customers not only find acceptable, but appreciate.None of these are easy – BUT, the question is…
