Commercial Cordless Vacuum. @mrjeffthecustodian
Not all vacuum cleaners are the same. Especially when it comes to commercial cleaning. The Sanitaire cordless vacuum can really be a great vacuum to add to the cleaning tool belt. Great battery power. Easy filter cleaning. Always having a clean filter you want have that old musky dusty spell while vacuuming. #cleaning #custodian #janitor #floorcleaning #vacuuming #cordlessvacuum @mrjeffthecustodian

      About the same as jail. Just all the inmates. Go home everyday. No really expect to not let it overwhelm you. Set yourself a pace that you can live with. Things that you just touched will be messed up in about 5 minutes. Just remember you’re one person. You will have to make it your own. Make a schedule as best as you can but don’t be to rigid with it. Be flexible with it. If you’re not it will eat you alive. When you leave for the day. Do just that. Leave it there. Take your breaks and vacations. Control the job don’t let it control you.

    I was wondering what I was going to do on my pd day Jeff and they had me and the other evening custodian weedeat for three hours at the high school to get ready for homecoming next Friday , then I spent an hour mowing the courtyard at the intermediate school we work at . It was 95 and humid and I had a horrible heat headache so I had two hours left I pulled trash cleaned the staff and office bathrooms and wiped down and dust mopped library and cleaned front entrance windows but I don't like the way my windows look ever. You're right the squeegee is the most efficientl but I don't know if I could do it quick like you. What would you recommend how many parts dawn dish soap to water. Monday night I am going to try your mop bucket filling method, I hate suds in my mop water.i try to set a goal as to what section I want to be at what time I'm usually close. At 59 I'm no speed demon I kind of just hammer away at a consistent pace. The one thing I do want is a cordless shark vaccum , that would save me alot of time alone in itself.

      On the dawn I just turn the bottle up side down and squeeze for about 5seconds that my how many parts. Don’t work about being fast just being steady is all that matters. At 54 I’m slowing down more every year. Chipping alway is the best technique in my book.

      I must admit I don’t see the appeal in cordless vacuums, we use one in a mental health setting (makita brand) and the suction is poor. In practice we should use them over a large area but they are make it a chore in picking things up that it’s easier to sweep everything to a rug and then hoover it. If given the option I go for a cord based vaccum to save any trip in replacing the battery.

      Does not sound stupid. Sounds like you are not open to new ideas. Did you make any other sugestions to the custodian like sizing up the rooms to be cleaned and help by showing hard to clean areas where a leaf blower would not be needed? Did show this custodian other available tools like attachments to the vaccum? Our job is too difficult for bs from coworkers who do nothing but make our jobs harder and offer no solutions to real world problems. There you are welcome. Use it on the new custodian you have to hire now along with a little respect for them.

      @@garyday6681 hold up let’s get something strait off the top my father was a custodian for 25 years and never used a leaf blower to clean his floors. He also did twice the work then most custodians do now days and didn’t quit when the boss said no to something he suggested. He used a dust mop,broom and dust pan and did his work just fine. I never said I was not open to new ideas but I am not open to ideas that are going to potentially blow dust particles in the air for kids to walk into the next morning and have allergies start up And get sick .I also found out while the custodian was using the leaf blower to be more”efficient” and get things done faster he was going home early every night and not doing other things that could have been done. I do not try to make my custodians jobs more difficult and I don’t say no to anything I wouldn’t do or try my self first - I personally went into a classroom and used the leaf blower and tried his way and then had to spend 20 mins dusting the room because of all the dust it blew all over the room . The only problem in this guys world was he was lazy not that I didn’t allow for better solutions. This was why I was asking JEFF if he ever used a blower and where one might be acceptable to use in a building. So before you run your mouth saying I am making things harder for my custodians you should know your facts or get the whole story.

    Dyson V15 detect is the best investment I made to make my job at work easier. the auto mode makes the battery last all day, I even have the carpeted library in my section, but it does have a removable battery if you needed another. If u want to upgrade it fully you can get the XL motorhead for a bigger cleaning path. the only cons besides price that I found is the wheels they use are not industrial grade and break easy if you drop it on floor with out care i remedied this by putting small Teflon sliders with double sided tape after the back wheels came off, with the low pile carpets it works just as good if not better. The newer models don't have triggers which i don't feel is an advantage in this field. Although it was pricey id buy it again if i had too with how much time and hassle it saved me looking for outlets.
