Sorry but the BS answer is "it depends".
Typically on food contact surfaces in high risk areas you'd want <100 TVC after cleaning, in some high care factories you would use enteros as your indicator organism. For people you'd want <20 staph normally and absence of any other key pathogens you're swabbing for.
