🎙 In this episode, Allen Cooper breaks down how ReadyList’s digital tool revolutionizes EVS cleaning workflows—reducing a standard discharge clean by 15 minutes and a thorough “high clean” by nearly 30 minutes.

Allen explains the difference between a routine discharge clean (approximately 1 hour) and a high clean (1.5–1.75 hours when contamination is significant). By guiding cleaners through detailed checklists and minimizing rework from missed spots, ReadyList not only speeds up room turnover but also reduces supervisor time spent on corrections.
