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.
