Custodial Operations Cleaning Procedures
In accordance with the CDC Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Facility,
the Custodial Operations Department is continuously assessing and confirming
our cleaning protocols. With the CDC’s announcement that cleaning
once a day is usually enough to sufficiently remove the virus and that the risk
of infection from touching a surface is low we have amended our routine
cleaning for summer and fall.
Our summer has included project work of cleaning stairwells, upholstery and
deep cleaning of bathrooms, turning over the Residence halls, detail cleaning
of buildings and more.
Our fall routine cleaning will have day porters checking restrooms often and
working to wipe down common spaces and high traffic touch points. All
other spaces that are utilized will be cleaned according to the following
schedules:
- Common spaces in hallways and lounges – routinely disinfect
surfaces and touch points (utilizing Protexus electrostatic sprayer), and empty
trash
- Restrooms – daily disinfect, clean and restock all open
restrooms
- Residence Halls – disinfect and clean daily common spaces,
common restrooms, stairwells, hallways, trash rooms and laundry facilities.
- Classrooms in use– empty trash daily, vacuum or mop one night
per week, empty recycling one night per week, straighten desks/chairs nightly,
disinfect desks, surfaces and touch points nightly (utilizing Protexus sprayer
in rooms with minimal technology)
- Public offices/shared spaces – empty all common space trash
nightly, vacuum or mop three nights per week, empty recycling one night per
week, spot clean surfaces three nights per week, and disinfect touch points
nightly
- Personal offices – vacuum or mop as needed or biweekly,
complements faculty and staff cleaning before and after use
- Spaces for medical treatment receive services and disinfection
nightly
Through the fall 2021 we will continue to supply wipes, paper towels,
disinfectant spray and hand sanitizer to all classrooms, labs, and offices that
have high traffic.
We will continue to have central locations at Brighton for trash disposal
that we will empty nightly.
As the guidelines continue to change please know that our plan will remain
fluid. The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff is our
biggest priority. Should you have any questions or concerns please
contact our department at 292-2593.
