How to Score Yourself#
- 90-100%: Excellent — your standards are high
- 70-89%: Average — members notice the gaps
- Below 70%: At risk — complaints and cancellations are likely
What Happens Next#
If you scored below 90%, your facility has hygiene gaps that members notice. The question is: can your current cleaning setup close those gaps, or do you need a partner who specialises in this?
We offer free, professional hygiene assessments with photo documentation and a detailed score. No obligation, no pressure — just clarity about where your facility stands.
