Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
storing default cleaning cycle parameters and short cleaning cycle parameters for washing one or more articles in a wash chamber of an automated cleaning machine, wherein the short cleaning cycle parameters include a total cycle duration that is relatively less than a total cycle duration of the default cleaning cycle, wherein the articles are not component parts of the cleaning machine and are configured to be inserted and removed from the cleaning machine;
executing, by the cleaning machine, at least one cleaning cycle using the default cleaning cycle parameters to wash a first set of the one or more articles;
determining, by a controller of the cleaning machine, a number of cleaning cycles executed per unit time;
determining, by the controller, that the determined number of cleaning cycles executed per unit time reaches a short cycle threshold, wherein the short cycle threshold is a number of cycles per unit time; and
in response to determining that the determined number of cleaning cycles executed per unit time reaches the short cycle threshold, executing, by the cleaning machine, at least one subsequent cleaning cycle using the short cycle cleaning process parameters to wash a second set of the one or more articles in the wash chamber, wherein the second set is a different set relative to the first set.
