Assess The Impact

• Asthma afflicts about 20 million Americans,
  including 6.3 million children
• Annual savings and productivity gains are 6 to
  14 billion from reduced respiratory disease
• 1 to 4 billion in savings from reduced
  allergies and asthma

Vacuum Cleaner Efficiency

• Particles below 10 micron are invisible to the
  human eye
• The most common airborne particle is 2.4 micron
• The most harmful particle is 0.3 microns

Cleaning Systems

• Zone Cleaning
• Team Cleaning
• Gang Cleaning
• Blended Cleaning
• Day Cleaning
• Cooperative Cleaning

16
Zone Cleaning
Zone cleaning means one employee performs all
tasks for a specific floor or section of a
building such as a wing of a building, pod or
station. This system gives workers a sense of
"ownership" as they are responsible for specific
areas. The individual gets to know all the
tasks of the specific area that he or she is
assigned to.
17
Team Cleaning
Most often, teams consist of one, two, three or
more workers who work individually to complete
cleaning tasks in a precise sequence Work is
organized in a sequential route. The work is
systematized and structured with cleaning times
allotted for each task. Cleaning workers are
taught specialized skills and focus on one or two
cleaning tasks. Specialists work separately but
cooperatively, with each member's tasks outlined
on a job card.
