#### Formulas Used
- Trash Bags/month = ⌈sq ft ÷ 1,000⌉ × facility multiplier × cleaning days
- Paper Towel Rolls/month = occupants × 0.05 rolls/person/day × facility multiplier × cleaning days
- Toilet Paper Rolls/month = restrooms × 2 rolls/restroom/day × facility multiplier × cleaning days
- All-Purpose Cleaner (oz)/month = (sq ft ÷ 500) × 2 oz × facility multiplier × cleaning days → divide by 32 for bottles
- Disinfectant (oz)/month = restrooms × 8 oz/restroom/day × facility multiplier × cleaning days → divide by 32 for bottles
- Floor Cleaner (oz)/month = (sq ft ÷ 1,000) × 4 oz × facility multiplier × cleaning days → divide by 128 for gallons
- Mop Head Replacements/month = ⌈(sq ft ÷ 5,000) × facility multiplier⌉ × cleaning days ÷ 200 uses per head
- Microfiber Cloths/month = ⌈sq ft ÷ 2,000⌉ × facility multiplier × cleaning days ÷ 50 washes per cloth
