How Clean is Your Supply Closet?
May 18th, 2009 by admin
If you have a commercial cleaning business, then you probably store most of your supplies and equipment in a supply closet or “janitor closet”. Did you know you can find out just how well-trained workers are by the cleanliness of the supplies and equipment in storage areas? The messier and dirtier you find things, the more likely it is that your employees aren’t being trained properly on the importance of maintaining equipment and keep their storage closets clean.
So take some time this week to visit your supply closets and look for these warning signs:
*Is there trash in the janitor cart or brute? All trash should be emptied every night, with none left over for the next day.
*Are the shelves well-organized or are they cluttered and messy? Shelves should be organized so that chemicals are stored together, paper supplies are together, can liners are together, etc. Heavy, bulky items should be stored on bottom shelves for safety reasons.
*Are the mops and brooms hung up? Mop should never be left in the mop bucket and the mop head should be left upright or hung up to air dry. Brooms should also be hung up or standing upright - never let the broom rest on the bristles.
*Is the mop bucket empty and clean? Dirty mop water should never be left in the bucket. It should be empty and rinsed out.
*Is the vacuum cleaner bag full? If it has a magnet bar is it full of staples and paper clips? Is the vacuum cleaner dusty? Vacuum bags should be emptied at the end of each shift, magnet bars should be free of metal and the vacuum should be wiped clean.
*Is the floor free of clutter? Everything should have a home and nothing should be left laying around.
Is the closet locked? If not, it should be or you might have building employees coming in and walking off with supplies and not returning them or putting them back in the wrong place. Make sure your employees are trained to lock the doors when their shift is over.
