Team Cleaning® is a flexible, efficient and cost-effective cleaning system for custodial operations. Team Cleaning applies the power of systems to reduce costs and maximize productivity.
It offers solutions to the many challenges that managers face—through better deployment of labor, effective cleaning methods, simplified training resulting in heathier environments.
In a five-day program the key to efficient, balanced workflow is to divide the cleanable square feet assigned to the Light Duty and Vac Specialists into four equal quadrants to manage cleaning frequencies: daily (routine), weekly (detail) and monthly (periodical).
The Light Duty and Vac Specialist Job Cards clearly show the starting point, a path to follow, assigned tasks and allotted time to perform. The detail is performed Monday through Thursday on a rotation basis to complete weekly requirements.
Monthly periodical frequencies are rotated over four Fridays utilizing the same designated quadrants; in this manner, the schedule has been fully met.
Vac Specialist as an Example:
Routine: traffic areas – Monday–Friday
Detail: square all corners – weekly by quadrant Monday–Thursday
Monthly periodical: clean vents, etc.… using four Friday quadrants
Team Cleaning allows flexible staffing configurations depending on the size and type of facility. The assigned tasks to each Specialists remains constant. The exception is smaller facilities where the workers may switch from one Specialist’s duties to another. All workflow is driven based on Specialist’s Job Cards.
