What is the perception created amongst your staff about the value of cleaning and its relative importance at your establishment or facility? This perception may be called the “Culture of Clean”. Like the political spectrum, the culture of clean within any facility ranges from proactive on one end to reactive on the other.

Where do you sit?

Chances are you may sit somewhere on the spectrum, but the push needs to be toward the proactive end of the spectrum.
