A Game-Changer for Cleaning Businesses
In the cleaning industry, efficiency and consistency are essential for success. That’s where the Speed Cleaning Technique comes in—a structured method designed to streamline cleaning processes, reduce errors, and enhance productivity. At Speed Cleaning, we’ve developed a certification program that helps cleaning technicians internalize these principles, making their workflow second nature without the need for checklists.
The Foundation: 13 Tenets of Speed Cleaning
Our method is built on 13 core tenets that guide cleaning technicians in adopting a systematic approach. This isn’t just about memorization—it’s about shifting the mindset to create habits that lead to faster, more effective cleaning. When followed consistently, these principles help cleaning businesses standardize their operations, save time, and ensure high-quality results.
Optimizing Operations for Seamless Continuity
One of the key goals of our certification program is to make cleaning operations more optimized. This ensures that businesses can continue running smoothly even when a team member needs to take time off, whether for vacation, sick leave, or due to the high turnover nature of the industry. With a standardized process in place, clients won’t feel a significant impact when there’s a change in staff. This consistency not only ensures client satisfaction but also reduces operational stress.
Moreover, a standardized operation brings significant benefits for employees as well. When a cleaning team operates in a well-structured environment, employees feel more confident and supported in their roles, contributing to a positive work culture. Technicians are empowered to perform their tasks efficiently, leading to job satisfaction and long-term retention.
What Makes Our Certification Unique?
Our online certification program is tailored for onboarding new employees and reinforcing training. It’s designed to help cleaning technicians master Speed Cleaning techniques so they can execute tasks flawlessly. To support this learning, we provide a reinforcement book that serves as a visual guide, aiding in faster skill retention. While the book isn’t required for certification, it is a valuable resource for those looking to accelerate their learning process.
Additionally, the training is conducted in English, and as a part of the certification program, you’ll receive access to a Train the Cleaner module in Spanish at no extra cost. If you require it in Portuguese, we offer a separate Portuguese module as well, ensuring your team can access the training in the language that best suits them.
Consistency Is the Key to Success
Having a defined technique and training system makes a significant difference in any cleaning business. A standardized approach reduces mistakes, increases efficiency, and ultimately creates a win-win situation for both cleaning technicians and business owners. A consistent operation means that regardless of staffing changes, the quality and speed of cleaning remain intact.
Specialized Training Modules
Our certification includes tailored modules for different roles within a cleaning business:
-
Cleaning Technicians – Learn and internalize the Speed Cleaning principles for efficient cleaning without the need for checklists.
-
Trainers – Access downloadable resources to support their teams, helping them develop skills and track progress.
-
Business Owners – Gain a comprehensive understanding of the methodology, ensuring a structured training system and consistent results across the business.

A Certification for All Experience Levels
Our certification program is designed to work for both experienced cleaning technicians and those with little or no experience. The key is standardizing your cleaning operations to ensure consistency, regardless of a technician's prior knowledge. The most important thing is to hire the right person—someone with good character, willingness to learn, and a positive attitude. The technical skills? We’ve got you covered.
Studies show that people are often hired based on their technical skills, but they typically leave due to behavioral issues. At Speed Cleaning, we believe in hiring for values and attitude because we can teach the technical side. With our program, you can be confident that your team will perform at the highest standards, regardless of their starting point.
Recognizing and Rewarding Expertise
Cleaning business owners can recognize and reward their technicians with Speed Cleaning recognition pins, validating their expertise in the Speed Cleaning technique. These pins serve as an additional, valuable form of acknowledgment, marking cleaning technicians as officially certified in Speed Cleaning.
The recognition pins not only showcase the technician’s mastery of the technique but also enhance their credibility and pride in their work. Having a certified team with visible recognition helps reinforce your company's commitment to quality and boosts client confidence. The pins are an extra benefit that encourages further motivation and loyalty from your team, fostering a sense of achievement and pride in their skills.
Additionally, the company will receive a certificate, and both cleaning technicians and cleaning trainers will receive individual certificates recognizing their expertise and successful certification in Speed Cleaning.
As an added benefit, your company will also receive a badge to display on your website and marketing materials. This badge signifies your business’s commitment to quality and certification. Furthermore, your company will be listed in our business directory, offering increased visibility. As part of the certification program, you will also gain exclusive access to a private Facebook group for certified companies. This group is a valuable space to exchange experiences, ask questions, and collaborate with other certified businesses.
