MALAYSIA STANDARD FOR CLEANING PERFORMANCE Introduction As a science, cleanliness can be measured and that the measurement will be objective, quantitative and repeatable for a given set of criteria. However in practical terms cleaning is subjective and that its measurements are based on a given standard. While subjectivity gives the impression of wide difference in opinion on values and the definition of clean between the service providers in the cleaning industry and the building owners and managers or the professional associations in the real estate industry a standard which specifies the quality of services and the measuring system that determines the quality of cleaning service can reduce such subjectivity and form a platform for those parties involved to move to a performance based system. Traditionally service providers in the cleaning industry are subjected to a head count system and unilateral imposition of unsound measurement standards and systems which discourage improvement in productivity through skill upgrades and better employment benefits, automation and mechanization and the medium of Information Technology. The move to performance based system with sound measurement standards and systems will lead to a better cleaning performance through increased productivity and better understanding and acceptance by all the building owners and managers and their cleaning service providers.
Objective : 1. To established a minimum standard for cleaning performance which is agreeable by both the service provider and its client. 2. To improved safety and health level in cleaning activities. 3. To upgrade the professionalism of service provider. 4. To standardized measurement for cleaning performance in the industry. 5. To assist and be a reference point in monitoring cleaning performance among service provider. 6. To upgrade the overall level of cleanliness in Malaysia with the objective of CLEAN MALAYSIA.

The proposed quality benchmarks are specified in Table B.1 for the various elements. There are two sets of benchmarks for each element in order to take into account the possibility of re-pollution when inspections are not carried out immediately after cleaning as compared to inspection immediately after cleaning without possibility of re-pollution. The elements which are cleaned according to the minimum cleaning frequency should be free from dust and stain when inspection is carried out immediately after cleaning.

C.1
Performance Level
The Performance Assessment sheet is a tabulated list (See Table C.1) of Inspection Units,their respective Elements for each area / blok to be inspected and Cleaning tasks for each elements. The assessment is done for each Element of an area / blok with the Cleaning Tasks as a guideline in determining whether inspection is carried out immendiately after cleaning or inbetween cleaning. Building owner / manager or its representative in the presence of service provider or its representive shall randomly select the areas or blocks to be inspected. Where possible inspection should be carried out immediately after cleaning where the Standard Immediately After Cleaning is applied. Should inspection be carried out after cleaning is carried out with the possibility of the area / block being used, then the Standard in-between Cleaning should be applied. The recording of the inspection is by rating the level of conformance to the Performance Standard as follow; Observation Not clean with no sign of cleaning being carried out as per agreed frequency Not well cleaned. Sign of cleaning being carried out but not well clean. Cleaned but can be improved further. Clean and tidy. Cleaning carried out well.. Comments Unsatisfactory Fair Good Excellent Score 1-2 34 56 7
Cleaning Performance will then be calculated based on the points obtained divided by the number of elements inspected times by 100 for a percentage score. Building owner / manager and service provided must agreed on the acceptable Performance level based on the percentage score.

The level of Cleaning Standard is subject to the frequency of cleaning tasks agreed between the building owner / manager and the service provider. When frequency of cleaning is less, the time frame for in-betwwen cleaning will be longer which means that the acceptable level of cleaning performance which is the Standard In-Between Cleaning will be longer. The pollutions due usage in-between cleaning will be present for a longer period of time. The suggested Cleaning Schedule (See Table D.1) is to achieved the minimal level of cleanliness for a commeciaql building.
