The crew waited on the jet-bridge during the plane cleaning and electrostatic spraying process. The crews aren't being allowed even 30 seconds after spraying completion to wait boarding the airplane. As we board the plane there is still the overwhelming smell of chemicals in the cabin. It would be helpful if policies were put into place that allows time for the smell of the chemical to dissipate before we have to board the plane.
Air Carrier Flight Attendant reported electrostatic cleaning fumes linger during boarding of the aircraft.
