Cleaning Levels

The University of Colorado Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus require our custodial company Kleen - Tech to adhere to industry cleaning standards established by the Association for Higher Education Facilities Officers (APPA) APPA | Leadership in Educational Facilities.

The cleaning levels are defined as:

  • Level 1 Orderly Spotlessness
  • Level 2 Ordinary Tidiness
  • Level 3 Casual Inattention
  • Level 4 Moderate Dinginess
  • Level 5 Unkempt Neglect
