Operating System One (OS1)®

Sustainble Cleaning & Benchmarked Best Practices(OS1)® is an intensive high-performance, sustainable cleaning system designed to increase operational efficiency and reduce our client’s carbon footprint. The (OS1)® program employs in-depth training based on standardized tools and systematic procedures. The program features team cleaning where workers are trained as “Job Specialists” to perform specialized tasks. Each Job Specialist is outfitted with the exact tools and chemicals necessary to perform their Specialist task. This increases efficiency and reduces waste. Every job specialist function has been benchmarked as the best cleaning practice through the (OS1)® Users Group.

The (OS1)® process will also improve your cleaning program by utilizing the most energy efficient equipment, in-depth employee training and EPA approved cleaning solutions. Each of these factors implemented together have been proven to increase indoor air quality, lessen the impact on the environment and reduce operational costs.

The (OS1)® process gathers and tracks essential data daily to utilize in reporting and benchmarking. With accurate and tangible data, we are able to proactively identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of your operations.

(OS1)® is the only organization to date that has obtained scientifically verified statistics for a cleaning process. Some of the leading (OS1)® users include Qualcomm, Northrop Grumman, The Boeing Company, Sandia National Laboratories (a division of Lockheed Martin), FBI Headquarters at Quantico and the University of Texas, among others.
