In October 2022, Cleaning Times Validated Product Directory was added to ISSA’s Official Cleaning Times and Tasks guidebook, adding more value to this trusted industry resource with its latest evolution.
ISSA’s Official Cleaning Times and Tasks guidebook, created in the 1960’s, helps service providers determine the amount of time it will take to maintain a facility using pre-determined practices and products. This guide has been adopted as the standard for many industries, including healthcare, government, education, and others, as well as incorporated into a wide variety of programs as the default for standardized cleaning task times.
The benefits of validation
Cleaning Times identifies efficiencies with intended increased productivity with a variety of equipment, tools, and technology, focusing on five factors: task, tool, time, total units, and training.
The Official Cleaning Times Validation confirms manufacturer data on the length of time it takes to complete cleaning-related tasks by solidifying production rate claims. This helps facility managers accurately predict the time and labour required to maintain their facility and make informed choices for increased productivity, using those validated products and brands.
Serving as an effective tool for building service operators, the validation makes it easier to serve customers better, increase bidding accuracy, and reach a higher level of competition.
Earning validation
How long does validation take? If you are a manufacturer seeking to apply, the process takes 60 days between the processing of the application and receiving the full report back. Once a validation and case study are elected, that time increases to a maximum of 90 days.
GP PRO (a division of Georgia-Pacific), specializes in advanced dispensing solutions for commercial facilities, and has earned the honour of becoming the first dispenser manufacturer to be certified through the Official ISSA Cleaning Times Validation Program.
