Top 5 Strategies to Minimize Cost of Cleaning Operations

To simplify your cost cutting job, WINAIM has gathered a variety of cost saving cleaning methods and new technologies that can increase cleaning efficiency, lower operating costs and eventually lead to larger profits.

Dilution Control: Most often the cleaners use more chemicals while manually diluting the cleaning chemicals with a solvent. Their intention is to achieve good cleaning results however, this practice may increase the costs as well as increase chemical hazards in the cleaning environment.
A Dilution Control Solution can be used to avoid this problem. This process allows you to dispense correct dose of chemicals; so that the cleaners do not manually dilute them. This solution helps you reduce unnecessary waste of chemicals and cut cleaning operation costs.

Product Replacement Program: Most of the time the machines and equipments used for cleaning operations are either overused or replaced before the end of their lifespan. Hence it is very important to establish a Product Replacement Program where-in each of the machines and equipments are labelled with their appropriate Use-until date, along with their track record maintained on an excel template.

Joint Procurement: If there is a large amount of product purchases, it is wise for the cleaning organizations to partner with their suppliers to increase buying power and have greater savings. A good relationship with the supplier could also have a possible outcome of price ceiling, which prevents the supplier from rising the product costs above a certain level.

Assess Cleaning Performance regularly: There could be many repeated errors and incidents that occur continuously during the cleaning process, and remain unnoticed. These errors and incidents on repetition can cost the cleaning organisation a lot of time and money. A strategically implemented and managed audit process like WINAIM’s Cleaning Compliance Management System provides a 360-degree, consolidated view of performance across multiple processes and can easily spot these errors and incidents. These findings can help in re-designing the business processes and activities for maximum efficiency at lowest possible costs.

 Build an effective Training Program: It is very important to build a training program that focuses on both initial and ongoing training for the cleaners. It can keep both the new and the existing cleaners up-to-date on the correct and the most efficient methods to clean as well as know how to use the latest cleaning tools. Many cleaning equipment and chemical Manufacturers and distributors provide complimentary training programs for their clients. WINAIM has built an advanced Training Management platform that can help you reduce costs, resources and time associated with maintaining your training programs.
