You Were Asking (a day late): Custodial staffing
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Today, I’d like to tell you about a little 40-page booklet that could prove quite indispensable to you. It is the ISSA 540 Cleaning Times, available from ISSA, an association for cleaning and custodial contractors and vendors. (Originally, the ISSA stood for International Sanitary Supply Association, but in 2005, it was changed to ISSA: The Worldwide Cleaning Association, to better reflect their membership.)
The cleaning times booklet has estimations of the times it takes to do certain custodial tasks, such as: The time it takes one person to vacuum a carpeted hallway of a certain square footage; the time it takes to clean a certain number of restroom sinks; the minutes expended vacuuming a couch. They also include the tools typically used for a job. This can help you allocate custodial staff and supplies.
