ISSA indicates that over 90% of every budget dollar is spent on labor, less than 10% is the cost of the supplies. For example, floor care programs can cost as much as 67% of your spend as they are generally the most labor intensive and require the highest level of janitorial expertise.
A cleaning budget reduction does not always save a company money and can, in turn, cause additional costs, such as expenses generated from service failures. Service failures due to budget cuts and poor quality are also costly because additional labor is required to correct each cleaning deficiency and they require customer interaction that consumes management resources.
