Implementing A Day Cleaning Program

With the economy as a focal point of budgetary decisions across the country, facilities are evaluating every level of business in an effort to save some dollars. Cleaners are now looking at day cleaning as a method to both save money and help the environment, but it isn’t an ideal solution for every facility.

To successfully implement a day cleaning program, three main groups must first be on board — the property manager, the cleaning department or building service contractor and the tenants of the facility. Training will be required for cleaners so to not disrupt daily business functions and cooperation from building occupants will be necessary as they are required to share space with cleaners.

It is also important to fully understand the cleaning tasks and schedule necessary before implementing a day cleaning program. School janitors, for instance, must work around large groups of kids who change classrooms throughout the day. Government offices might have specialized privacy needs, making some areas off limits during set times of the day or week. And hospitals might require the use of various cleaning products and practices in different areas of the facility.

Before implementing a day cleaning program, cleaners must evaluate the facility and outline a program that meets the needs of the property manager, while minimizing the impact on building occupants.
