Yes and no. You have dirtyness in Japan everywhere too, but they just systematically clean a lot and very often. Public toilets can be cleaned like 10 times a day. This frequency is unseen in the US

Can you link the source? I've never heard before that the average rate was much higher then the average rate in the US.

Rate of cleanings per day is not the same as the duration of each cleaning(s)?

How does this reveal information about the average rate per day?

How often does the bullet train turn about - the article and video both claim this is down at each end of line stop prior to turn about.

What infomation does the longer general video expose about Japans cleaning corp that you can look up to obtain general schedules?

source is my eyes. There are cleaning sheets in most public toilets and you can see how many rounds they have every day since they stamp it every time.
