Does your community follow any particular rule of thumb regarding # of hours dedicated to cleaning an estate home specifically?

Hope this helps.]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:52:22 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421069 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421069
Here’s some example of square feet and cleaning times:

1-Bedroom 521-856 sq./ft-1hr 30min.

2 Bedroom 996-1148 sq./ft- 2 hrs.

Villas-1260-1769 sq./ft-2 hrs.

On a normal day a housekeeper will clean anywhere from 3 to 4 homes according to the size.

If a housekeeper is cleaning villas they clean 3 a day.
We base these times on the fact that they have 2 15 minute breaks and 30 minute lunch.

If I can be of any other assistance please let me know.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:42:15 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421070 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421070 1 bedroom apt is 1 hr
2 bedroom apt is 1.5 hrs
Villa is 2 hrs
Garden Home is 3 Hours

Basic cleaning = bathrooms, kitchen, dust furniture, vacuum carpet, sweep and mop floors
Anything beyond a basic cleaning is additional hours ie: Clean out stove/refrigerator, wash personal laundry, organize seasonal decorations, sweep and remove cobwebs from front porches and back patios.

Housekeeper can clean 2 Garden Homes a day, or 3 villas a day or 4 apartments a day. ]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:42:34 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421072 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421072
6 residential units per day in the Apartment Building

7 hours scheduled per week for “estate home”]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:42:49 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421074 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421074 Staff clean at different levels based on square footage:
- Our Apartment Cleaning Teams will clean 7-8 units per day.
- Our Garden Home and Villa Cleaning Teams will clean 6-7 units per day.
Rule of thumb for Well-Spring is that we a lot so much time per unit based on square footage of the type of unit.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:43:06 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421075 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421075 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:43:32 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421076 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421076 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:43:45 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421077 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421077 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 17:44:01 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421079 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1421079 1 bedroom apt is 1 hr – 700 sq ft
