Custodial managers should pay close attention to the custodial closets within the facility. Cleanliness, storage options, layout and supplies all play a significant role in the effectiveness of the cleaning crew.
Watch for:
1. Multiples of the same product Are managers purchasing too much?
2. Varying brands of the same product This may cause confusion among cleaners.
3. Cleanliness Messy and unorganized closets become a safety issue and can take workers longer to organize materials necessary for cleaning tasks.
4. Equipment quality –Cleaning will not be effective if the equipment that is used is dirty itself. Overfull vacuums emit dust back into the air, dirty cloths spread bacteria and can leave a film on surfaces, torn squeegees leave streaks, etc.
5. Product information – Post MSDS and other safety/training materials in each cleaning closet so it can be accessed by staff.
6. Consistency – Make sure each cleaning closet within the facility is laid out the same. Doing so creates consistency for staff.
