Janitorial cleaning is all about efficiency, consistency, and professionalism. Achieving optimal cleaning times requires a detailed process, which also minimizes the risk of errors and complaints. In this video, Greg challenges himself to see how quickly he can clean a restroom with one stall, one urinal, and one sink.

When i worked in housekeeping one thing i didn't understand was why the cleaning solution, especially for mopping, had no scent. I feel conditioned to smelling bleach or some kind of cleaner.
@OctoCleanMedia
@OctoCleanMedia 2 ай бұрын
That's a great point and a very important one as well! The solution we use and recommend (Waxie 210) doesn't really have a scent, which we feel is actually a good thing. Many store-bought chemicals have added scents but are also heavily diluted, giving the impression of a clean space without being as effective as they should be. A truly clean restroom or space shouldn't smell like anything, especially not bleach, which is an oxidizer. Bleach has a strong, distinctive odor that can be unpleasant and harmful to inhale, so it's best to avoid using it whenever possible in favor of safer, scent-free cleaning solutions like Waxie 210.

Top to bottom is definitely in effect! We dust first, and then mop to sure leave the space nice and clean! Just like in an office, we dust first top to bottom and then vacuum.

First! Thank you for this awesome video! I'm wondering how long it takes to clean hard floors wall to wall. My biggest account is a 5ksqft account and it takes me 20min to dust mop, 40min to vacuum the edges and other nooks, and about 35min to mop. So total, I take 1.5hrs to fully clean 5ksqft wall to wall. I feel like I'm too slow but I just don't know how to improve! I'm sure I can cut time on vacuuming, but I'm not sure where.

Why avoid polishing the safety handrails?
@OctoCleanMedia
@OctoCleanMedia 5 күн бұрын
Many stainless steel polishes are oil based. You don't want to leave any chance for the rails to be slippery or leave a residue that will get on peoples hands. Other stainless steel fixtures aren't touched frequently like this.

I rewatched your restroom video from 6 months ago and noticed you switch the order in which you do things. In the first video you swept after spraying, didn’t dust separately and also did the mirror before the sink. Did you recently change that?
@OctoCleanMedia
@OctoCleanMedia 2 ай бұрын
Great point, Kyle! As long as all steps on the team cleaning cards are fulfilled, the order of operations can be modified at the cleaner's discretion. Between the two videos, the differences are negligible, as the tasks can be interchanged without affecting the overall time. However, if someone were to mop first, it would cause an issue since the cleaner would need to wait for the floor to dry before continuing with their tasks.

Why not use paper towels instead of the same cloth to clean every toilet/urinal? Also, why not red towels rather than yellow? We service a facility that's color coded so red for restrooms (biohazardous) blue for non-production and yellow for production areas. Just curious why microfiber cloths rather than paper towels and/or color coded? I don't think it's sanitary to use the same cloth to clean the toilet then use it to wipe down the auto flusher on the urinal BUT maybe I'm missing something?

In our color coding system red is used for biohazard in medical facilities to clean medical equipment. That is why you will see yellow for toilets. Yellow for pee and red for biohazard is easy for us to teach and remember. How you color code is all about what works for you. In this instance, there is only one toilet and one urinal, which are maintained daily, hence why the towel wasn't swapped for another. But in a larger restroom, we completely agree that swapping towels regularly as they become soiled is a must. The yellow towel did not touch the button for the urinal which is completely separate on on the wall above. Our preference is microfiber because it picks up much more than paper towels. But it's all circumstance. A brand new account that hasn't seen a lot of maintenance - sure paper towels are probably the way to go. Thanks for your comment!

I’m curious, do you still use the rags if the toilet looks filthy?
@OctoCleanMedia
@OctoCleanMedia 2 ай бұрын
Absolutely! In some sever cases, using paper towels may be a better option to preserve a towel. But paper towels shouldn't be used regularly as they raise expenses. Nevertheless, our yellow towels are definitely used on filthy towels, and then washed or discarded (severe cases) accordingly.

That is a great response. Yes, you will go through quite a few yellow towels throughout a cleaning. We recommend using large high quality towels that can be folded a few times to cover more surface area without cross contaminating.

Question, why not just spray the sink before the toilet so that also has more dwell time? I’m sure you have a good reason, I was just curious. Thanks.
@OctoCleanMedia
@OctoCleanMedia 2 ай бұрын
Great question! Dwell time can vary depending on the surface. Toilets, being more contaminated, generally require a longer dwell time than sinks or touch points. However, your suggestion to spray sinks with disinfectant at the same time as toilets is a good idea, as it allows for an extended dwell time for both.
