The best I've found!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Science of Professional Cleaning : Handbook for Janitorial Services (Plastic Comb)
Forrest Farmer's Handbook for Janitorial Services, "The Science of Professional Cleaning" is a superb resource. As the supervisor of the Campus Environment Team at a small college in the Midwest, I was looking for a reliable resource to use for the training of the campus cleaning crew. I had checked several that had been recommended but none fit what was needed. When I came across Forrest Farmer's book, I was thrilled. It is exhaustive in its content and yet concise and simple in its presentation. It has met our training needs beyond my expectations.
