1 Using Team Cleaning at Rescue Missions By Michael Liimatta, IUGM Director of Education For Course 307, Operations I
2 Using Team Cleaning at Rescue Missions Every day, work crews sweep through rescue missions facilities across the nations. They cleaning floors, restrooms, dining rooms and dormitories. Depending on how those crews clean, a lot of time may be wasted, and the final result may not be up to standard. For many rescue missions, team cleaning may be a way to streamline and improve custodial operations. The team cleaning approach was originally developed by private industry for such areas as office buildings and commercial outlets. It is also gaining wide-spread acceptance in the maintenance of educational facilities. Because they may extensive use of program participants, rescue missions can benefit from implementing this approach to their housekeeping tasks. In traditional zone cleaning, workers are responsible for all cleaning in a particular area, such as an entire floor. Workers fan out over an area, and each does the whole variety of cleaning tasks. In this approach, each person or cleaning crew is assigned to a certain geographic area. There, they do all the cleaning functions, essentially cleaning rooms from ceiling to floor. In most cases, rescue missions rely on this traditional of "zone" cleaning approach. Time studies, however, have demonstrated that is not the most efficient and organized way to get the job done. Additionally, using this approach, when turnover occurs, it takes quite a bit of effort to retrain new people for these jobs. Team cleaning using a very different approach. Team cleaning turns each worker into a specialist. Instead of a long list of cleaning tasks, each specialist has, in most cases, maybe two or three functions. As part of a team, each member is responsible for a specific duty. The size of the team is determined by the building size and needs; however, there are four primary specialists: Here are the essentials: Individuals are specialists, having only a few cleaning duties. The program uses efficiency of movement, instead of areas. Less equipment is used, resulting in cost savings. Supervision is a planned activity. Training is less costly and complicated. Individuals have a thorough knowledge of their functions. A double-check system ensure work quality. Inspection procedures are simplified. Progress of the program is measurable and accountable. This approach to cleaning can save a facility time and money. For example, consider if you have eight people cleaning a building, with each employee responsible for every aspect of cleaning a section of the facility. For this approach, you would need eight workers, eight vacuums, eight trash barrels and eight restroom carts to do the job effectively. By using a team-cleaning approach, you can cut back to six workers, each with specific responsibilities. The idea is to have two teams made up of a light-duty specialist and vacuum
3 specialist, having each of them concentrate on one area of the building, taking care of all the floors. Another team - made up of a restroom specialist and a utility specialist - work throughout the entire building. This approach requires six people, two vacuums, two trash barrels and one restroom cart, which results in more productivity, less equipment and lower costs. The benefits of this approach are lower labor costs, better cleaning results and improved worker safety. Instead of focusing on zones, the team cleaning method requires each worker to specialize in one or two specific tasks. The main focus team cleaning is the use of four specialists. Each role involves different tools and tasks, and performance standards. These individuals, then. Function in cooperation with others on the work crew. They are: Light-duty Specialist who empties the trash and recycling bins, dusts all horizontal surfaces, cleans telephones and spot cleans horizontal and vertical surfaces as needed. Vacuum Specialist who vacuums all areas, checks to see the trash was emptied, turns out the lights and secures the area. Restroom Specialist who fills the dispensers in the restroom, empties the garbage, and cleans and sanitizes fixtures, floors and drinking fountains. Utility Specialist who hauls the trash out of the building that has been accumulated by the other specialists, cleans the brass, blinds and carpet where needed, does any damp or wet mopping needed, and handles light maintenance and other specialty services. In addition, this person is usually the team leader, directing operations and handling problems on the spot. Each specialist role involves specific tools and tasks, as well as performance standards that are known and measurable, using a checklist system (see sidebar, Team-Cleaning Equipment and Techniques). By focusing primarily on one type of work, each team member becomes more skilled, more effective at the job, and more knowledgeable about proper safety procedures for that job. This translates to increased speed, less wasted motion, fewer accidents, less cleaning equipment, and improved cleaning. Reduced personnel, of course, means big savings for managers in a competitive industry. There are also hidden benefits. Team specialists are consistent. For example, supervising a team is less time-consuming because the supervisor can spot check given tasks to assess total quality instead of having to check every floor or zone. Additionally, it is quicker and easier to train a substitute employee for an absent team member because the supervisor needs to demonstrate only one set of tasks. One of the primary benefits of this approach is that each person knows his/her duties. Additionally, since he/she knows others are following who will complete the task of cleaning the areas, careless workers are monitored by the activities of others on the team. Slow workers are driven to move with the flow. Since tasks are being accomplished rather than areas, individuals can be evaluated on specifics rather than general appearances. Inspections are also much more
4 objective, which leads to better morale among workers. And if disciplinary action is warranted, the documentation is much more clear and definitive. The supervisor who oversees the team can tell you on a daily basis what he/she will be doing, how and with what he/she is managing, and how he/she can measure and be accountable for operations activities. All of this makes inspections a lot simpler and reduces paperwork needed by supervisors. Team cleaning is not only more satisfying for workers as they operate in a cooperative style; it also improves productivity measurably. For instance, with a vacuuming program using carefully selected equipment, productivity may increase from 4,500 square feet per hour to 10,000 square feet per hour. For the property manager, this kind of performance produces a significant competitive edge in the marketplace. If your facility can do the job better for less, you'll keep overall costs in line. And with team cleaning, you will have happier employees with lower turnover - an added bonus and another measurable annual contribution to your company's expanded bottom line. Team cleaning yields a "triple win" situation in which tenants, employees, and property managers/owners can all claim a valuable gain. Benefits of Team Cleaning In addition to saving money and time, team cleaning promotes a higher level of cleaning. One reason for this is better training. Instead of having to know how to clean every part of the building, the employee can specialize in one or two jobs, if properly trained. Another important aspect to making team cleaning work is having the proper equipment. For many facilities, a backpack vacuum can be a key element of team cleaning. Newer vacuums put almost no dust back into the room, resulting in a cleaner environment. Also, you can move faster with a backpack. However, don't rush out and purchase new equipment immediately. Transitioning your employees into a team-cleaning structure will take time. Example: The Team Cleaning Approach in the Syracuse School District Team cleaning, implemented in each of the district's pilot schools, plays an important role in the program's success. John Melfi, the custodial trainer/coordinator in charge of Cleaning for Health, explains, "Four technicians, or specialists, are assigned to each school. A primary technician goes into the classroom first. That person sanitizes the doorknobs and glass, empties the pencil sharpeners; dusts everything; disinfects the sinks, counters and desks; and picks up any large papers or trash. "Next, the floor technician vacuums all the classrooms, using a backpack vacuum that helps to purify the air. The sanitizing technician cleans and disinfects water fountains, and sanitizes all the doorknobs, handles, mirrors, fixtures, lavatories, seats and floors in restrooms.
5 "At the end of the night, we have what we call multi-purpose time, when everybody comes together to clean common areas such as the hallways and gym. And all of this is done on a daily basis. We know precisely how long it takes to do a certain task and exactly how much it costs." 1 Team-Cleaning Equipment and Techniques Team cleaning is a new way of working together independently, yet cooperatively. These tenets are summed up in one word: simplicity. Here are examples of simple, effective systems integrated in team cleaning by four basic specialists. A. Light-Duty Specialist Primary Duties: Dedicated to dusting, spot-cleaning and emptying trash. Suggestions: Use a mobile waste-collection system such as a resin-molded, polyethylene refuse barrel equipped with wheels and fitted with a wrap-around apron or caddy with pockets for holding spot-cleaning spray solution, dusting cloths, and poly liners of various sizes. Application: The light-duty specialist rolls the waste collector and tools directly to the location where needed, dusts, spot cleans, empties trash, and replaces liners in fluid motions, then rolls to the next location. B. Vacuum Specialist Primary Duties: Dedicated to vacuuming carpeting, hard floors, upholstery, other surfaces. Suggestions: Use a lightweight backpack vacuuming system with four-stage filtration, ergonomic design and harness for distributing weight across hips, and strap-mounted attachments. Application: The vacuum specialist works systematically throughout the facility, using a side-toside fanning technique with a lightweight vacuuming wand to clean carpeted and hard floor areas with minimal fatigue. Multi-tasking - performing several tasks in one trip with the same equipment - streamlines vacuuming throughout the building. With simple tool changes, this worker can clean upholstery, carpet edges, corners, stairwells, A/C vents, etc., according to the building's cleaning specifications. C. Restroom Specialist Primary Duties: Dedicated to cleaning and sanitizing restroom fixtures and floors, and drinking fountains. Suggestions: Use a restroom cart holding a plastic mop bucket with fill-line markings, mop, other tools, restroom supplies, color-coded portion-control packets for point-of-use mixing, color-coded spray bottles for glass cleaner, and disinfectant.
6 Application: The restroom specialist uses pre-measured pouches of concentrate to make additional glass cleaner, disinfectant, and mopping solution on location as needed with-out having to make trips to the supply closet. Color-coding of all products eliminates mistakes. Premeasured packets create ideal dilutions and facilitate point-of-use mixing, encourage prescribed mop-water changes, and enable better quality monitoring and inventory control (workers return empty packets to supervisors at shift completion). D. Utility Specialist Primary Duties: Dedicated to cleaning entrance glass, lobbies, other flooring, etc. Suggestions: Since the utility specialist is a "cleanup hitter" - focusing on miscellaneous tasks according to the building's specifications - equipment is contingent on duties. For entrance glass spot cleaning, use a plastic spray bottle containing glass cleaner, lint-free cloths, a holster or apron to hold sprayer and extra trigger/head, and pre-measured glass cleaner concentrate packets for point-of-use mixing. For floor cleaning, use a mop bucket and mop, with prescribed number of concentrate packets carried in holster or apron to facilitate solution changes. Application: Perform various tasks throughout a facility, including glass cleaning, floor care, peripheral vacuuming, etc., and pick up trash bagged by the light-duty specialist at scheduled times for each floor, depositing it in an outside dumpster.

7 Implementing a Team Cleaning System To adapt team cleaning in your facility, you need more than just the right tools. When you first set up team-cleaning operations, consider scheduling cleaning workers within 5-and 10-minute segments. Many times, it can take employees 10 to 15 minutes to enter the building, clock in, put on a smock, say hello, get their materials, and get to their work assignments. If you can cut that time, you will save time, thus saving money. Most people can get ready to work in less than three minutes. Consider a district with 160 employees. Getting them to work a few minutes faster can result in a significant monthly savings. While the makeup of each facility is different, the problems administrators face in terms of cleaning are usually the same. Team cleaning works to solve these problems because the key - the employees - is already in place. With team cleaning, your custodian is no longer just a cleaning worker, he or she is now a specialist. The employee has the tools, the training, and a fair way of measuring job performance. Confusion about job responsibility is eliminated because the cleaning specialist has specific expectations that are clearly defined. He or she knows exactly how long it will take to get to the work area, precisely how many solution changes are needed each shift, and just how to use the equipment. Each specialist has his or her own set of tools, eliminating wasted time borrowing from another worker. To work well, the system must be set up and introduced properly. Team cleaning is a process that must be learned and practiced. Don't expect overnight success, and be sure to include the following crucial elements in setting the stage for a successful team cleaning program. When implementing such groups, management has to define the jobs, conduct on-the-job training, introduced standardized tools and operations, measure performance, and keep communications open. Important Steps For Implementing A Team Cleaning Program A. Define the job(s). To make job assignments clear, managers who use team cleaning often create color-coded cards for each specialty. These list each cleaning task and designate a specific amount of time it should require. B. Initiate on-the-job training. Training was the key to helping custodians learn the new system. Start with your best workers - the ones who get their jobs done without becoming exhausted and irritated. Watch what they do and how they do it. From observation, develop a "right way" (a labor-sav-ing way) to do each job, and have the best worker in each specialist category teach these "best practice" skills to others in that category. By carefully defining the job and describing exactly how it is to be done, you lay the perfect basis for all future training and improvement. C. Develop standardized tools and operations. With the help of your most experienced workers, determine the right tools for each job - what type of vacuum, which size broom, what type of mop, what capacity trash hauler, etc. Make these key items uniform so that no one is substituting inferior equipment and thereby performing substandard cleaning.
8 Standardized tools that work well and allow maximum mobility for each specialist optimize the quality and speed of work. Similarly, develop uniform procedures and work patterns. Simplify processes wherever possible. It has been said that there is always one best way to do the job. Your workers need to know it; so show it, expect it, and measure it. The Cleaning for Health program led to the standardization of training, cleaning products, equipment and methods. Staff were turned into trained technicians: They were taught the "best way" to complete specific tasks, including disinfecting surfaces, dusting, restroom sanitizing, floor care and vacuuming. Standardization is the key. Standardized equipment included compact backpack vacuums with four-stage filtration systems that contain 96 to 99 percent of dust particulates vacuumed. In addition to promoting cleaner air, the vacuums offer greater maneuverability than traditional uprights and minimize operator fatigue. The many cleaning products used by the department were replaced with three standardized liquid products in pre-measured packets: a bowl cleaning solution, a disinfectant and a general purpose cleaner. These products are now used throughout the Clean for Health schools, along with three standardized floor care products D. Measure performance. Use itemized checklists to evaluate work. Let workers know what the standards are and that they will be spot-checked by supervisors. This tangible feedback system reinforces high achievers and pinpoints weaknesses in other members so that supervisors can coach them on finer points. Remember to use checklists as teaching/training mechanisms, not as punishment. This objective method of evaluating work is fair, and it encourages team members to self-correct without penalty. E. Keep communications open. Team cleaning is a process involving a flow of work and workers. Although each specialist has a specific job, the specialists follow each other in a systematic order that automatically double-checks most functions. For example, as the vacuum specialist follows the light-duty specialist, this worker can quickly spot if trash has not been emptied. As part of a team, workers are conditioned to notice oversights and talk to each other. There are fewer slip-ups with cooperative cleaning teams. Additional Tips for Implementing the Change to Team Cleaning Of course, it's no easy task to transform a custodial department from old ways to modern, efficient methods - even when employees' livelihoods are at stake. Human nature rarely embraces change eagerly. People need to be led, convinced and involved. Dr. Cappa recognizes these keys to successful change. Make sure that your custodial staff believes in the concept you plan to introduce. Get representative members involved in the "researching ideas" phase and in demonstrating what
9 is possible among alternatives. Get the union involved in the change process from the beginning to ensure their support. Engage the informal power structure. Be sure to line up support at high-level district positions so nobody can undermine the program. Don't be afraid of change, especially when it involves adopting tested and proven techniques. Take time to examine methods and implement change slowly. This gives people time to adjust to change while learning new techniques. Keep learning. Continue searching for better products and methods. There's always something easier or better coming online, so watch for new developments. 2 Endnotes Information for this article was taken from the following: All For One, John P.
