Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
All in-house Custodial employees receive training on cleaning standards, procedures and chemical use. The time frame varies for individual employees. Supervisors monitor staff closely during the training period and records are kept of individual employee training. Continuing, all employees are accountable for following best cleaning standards and safety procedures.
Indoor Air Quality
Special attention will be paid to improve indoor air quality by preventing the use of unsafe cleaning chemicals with hazardous contaminants and by introducing environmentally friendly approved Green products in all university buildings. These Green products must be certified by the Environmental Choice Program or approved by Green Seal.
Chemical Dispensers
In order to reduce and control excess chemical usage, chemical dispensers will be installed in all custodial rooms to dispense cleaning solutions at the correct dilution rate, as per the manufacturer’s specification.
Carpet Care
Carpet tile installed in main hallways at most campus buildings is steam cleaned with a clear water application.
