Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Custodial Work

What tools do school janitors use to clean large hallway floors?
Custodians rely on wide dust mops for sweeping, heavy-duty string mops with wringer buckets for washing, and commercial floor scrubbers that clean and dry large surfaces efficiently.
Why is floor maintenance so important in busy schools?
Regular cleaning removes dirt and moisture brought in from outdoors, preventing slipping hazards and reducing the spread of germs in areas with high foot traffic.
How do janitors help schools during seasonal changes?
During winter, custodians spread salt on walkways and clear snow to ensure safe entrance. In summertime, they deep-clean classrooms, wax floors, and repair furniture before school resumes.
