AICS, a custodial and janitorial consulting group, has released its latest infographic: Workloading Controls Cleaning Costs.

The most frequently asked question in the cleaning industry is “How much should it cost to clean my building?” AICS’s newest infographic answers that question by presenting a 5-step process to getting the most out of your cleaning dollars.

The infographic highlights the following facts:
• Cleaning costs are the largest maintenance and operating budget item.
• Cleaning costs are driven by labor.
• Labor accounts for up to 80 percent of cleaning costs.
• Understanding labor costs is the key to cost control.
• Workloading determines the number of labor hours needed to clean a facility and is the best way to establish cleaning costs.

“The marketplace is increasingly demanding that janitorial costs be justified,” said David Frank, CEO of AICS. “Workloading is the best available tool to establish costs and our infographic outlines the five steps to effectively managing cleaning costs.”
