How Long Does Prison & Custody Cell Cleaning Take?
Prison and custody cell cleaning typically takes between one to three hours per cell, depending on the level of cleaning required. Routine cleaning involves tasks like sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping surfaces with disinfectants approved by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc).
Deep cleaning, on the other hand, includes intensive sanitisation of high-touch areas such as cell bars, mattresses, and lavatories, using electrostatic sprayers or fogging devices to ensure all surfaces are disinfected.
