LEVEL 1 Standards:
Level 1 establishes cleaning at the highest level. It was developed for the corporate suite or the historical focal point.

• Floors and base moldings shine and/or are bright and clean; colors are fresh. There is not buildup in corners or along walls.
• All vertical and horizontal surfaces have a freshly cleaned or polished appearance and have no accumulation of dust, dirt, marks, streaks or fingerprints. Light all work and fixtures are clean.
• Washrom and shower fistures and tile gleam and are odor-free. Supplies are adequate.
• Trash containers and pencil sharpeners hold only daily waste, are clean and odor-free.

LEVEL 2 Standards:
Level 2 is the level at which cleaning should be maintained.

• Floors and base moldings shine and/or are bright and clean. There is no buildup in corners or along walls, but there can be up to two days worth of dust, dirt, stains or streaks.
• All vertical and horizontal surfaces are clean, but marks, dust, smudges and fingerprints are noticeable upon close observation. Light all work and fixtures are clean.
• Washroom and shower fixtures and tile gleam and are odor-free. Supplies are adequate.
• Trash containers and pencil sharpeners hold only daily waste, are clean and odor-free.

Level 3 Standards:
This level reflects budget cuts or other related staffing problems. It is a lowering of normal expectations. While not totally acceptable, it has yet to reach an unacceptable level of cleanliness.

• Floors are swept or vacumed clean, but upon close observation there can be stains. A buildup of dirt and/or floor finish in corners and along walls can be seen.
• There are dull spots and/or matted carpet in walking lanes. There are streaks or splashes on base molding.
• All vertical and horizontal surfaces have obvious dust, dirt, marks, smudges and fingerprints. Lamps all work and fixtures are clean.
• Trash containers and pencil sharpeners hold only daily waste, are clean and odor-free.

Level 4 Standards:
This level reflects even deeper budget costs or other significant staffing-relating problems. Areas are beginning to accept an environment lacking normal cleanliness. In fact, the facility begins to consistently look like it requires a good "spring cleaning".

• Floors are swept or vacuumed clean, but are dull, dingy and stained. There is a noticeable buildup of dirt and/or floor finish in corners and along walls.
• There is a dull path and/or obviously matted carpet in walking lanes. Base molding is dull and dingy with streaks or splashes.
• All vertical and horizontal surfaces have conspicuous dust, dirt, smudges, fingerprints and marks. Lamp fixtures are dirty and some lamp (up to 5 percent) are burnt out.
• Trash containers and pencil sharpeners have old trash and shavings. They are stained and marked. Trash containers smell sour.

Level 5 Standards:
This is the final and lowest level. They consider this "just-in-time cleaning". The facility is always dirty, with cleaning accomplished at an unacceptable level.

• Floors and carpets are dull,dirty, dingy and/or matted. There is conspicuous buildup of old dirt and/or floor finish in corners along walls. Base molding is dirty, stained and streaked. Gum, stains, dirt, dust balls and trash are broadcast.
• All vertical and horizontal surfaces have major accumulations of dust, dirt, smudges and fingerprint, all of which well be difficult to remove. Lack of attention is obvious.
• Light fixtures are dirty with dust balls and flies. Many lamps (more than 5 percent) are burnt out.
