I have been a custodian for over 23 years. The purpose of this channel is to share some of my knowledge with you. I remember the feeling when I first became a custodian. I was given a set of keys, a radio and a badge. Didn't get any training whatsoever. Being a custodian is not rocket scientist knowledge. There are definitely things that a custodian needs to know. I call it the art of the trade. Tips and tricks that can make the job much easier and enjoyable.
Being a commercial cleaner such as a custodian is much different than just cleaning at your home. from waxing floors, to making and following a schedule. Oh and I must add dealing with many issues and people. There is nothing special about me. I'm just your average guy out here doing the daily grind just like you. I'm one of those folks, what you see is what you get. I hope you find my channel useful and knowledgeable.That you will subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notification when new videos are posted.Thanks Mr.Jeff

Offensive strong SMELLS! @mrjeffthecustodian
Just because you smell cleaner doesn’t mean something is clean. There’s nothing worse that smelling a cleaning that is just to strong. As custodian we want things to not only be clean, but to smell clean. Just not over barring with the smell of cleaner. A good fresh mild smell is ideal for a nice clean smell. Mixing according to the directions. More
Is not always better.

Yes Another Bathroom Video @mrjeffthecustodian
We had a teacher at the high school who would complain about everything we used, and believed that only bleach would work. It got so bad we had to just get a spray bottle and some bleach to spray in her sinks to appease her nose.
Oh my
Thank you Mr. Jeff I enjoy watching your videos. I have ambitions of being a custodian like my dad. And your videos have really helped me out. Can you please make more videos with Tips and Tricks please thank you sir.
Any particular tips you looking for?
That Spartan Clean by Peroxy is probably the best all-around product I've ever used. It has so many applications and uses
Yes good stuff. Have some of that on hand.
This just showed up and i am eager to watch more of your videos. Ive worked for a cleaning service for 20 years. Im 44. My boss is 60 and not in the greatest physical health. Hes had several knee surgeries, back, neck surgery. He also had throat cancer several years ago. We do Carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, tile floor stripping and waxing, flood an.fire damage. We've got jobs scheduled for residential or commercial every week. Him and his wife have 4 kids but none of them are interested in his business. The 2 sons have helped but it was nothing they wanted to do. My boss has been hinting around he will eventually put me in charge when he can't do it anymore . My stepdad also told me yesterday that my boss told him the same thing. I guess ill eventually either be owner or co owner.
I have been thinking about buying some equipment and doing some jobs on the side. I love doing floors. Hopefully you will be boss.
I clean a gym and purposefully get there over two hours before they open just so I can be alone and clean lol. I enjoyed this topic and with my job being at a gym it makes for a hard balance between removing odors and not using over powering cleaners because members working out need fresh air that doesn't smell like fabul-grosso
We use a virucidal cleaner sanitiser for everything and its odourless.
We’ve taken away lots of the deodorizers and aerosol disinfectant sprays away from the custodians. They would just use them to just mask that they didn’t actually clean areas. The old adage if it smellls clean then it is clean isn’t always true.
Yeap
I love the early morning empty building walk around
So soothing
Your content is greatly appreciated. I'm a custodial supervisor and I've learned a lot from this channel.
I appreciate that thank you.
What is your take on a spray product called "Odor Eliminator"
Never heard of it
@mrjeffthecustodian It's very strong as well. So strong that you have to add water with it to dilute the scent. But it works very well at leaving bathrooms smell fresh afterwards. It basically an air freshener on steroids. 😆
@bryanbrooks2634 sound like if you toned it down it should be good. We had a product like that called fresh start. We would spray bathrooms down with it at very end of the day and leave. There was just enough of the smell in the mornings left over to be just right.
Pinesol rules over Fabuloso!
Amen brother. Some here
This was a very informative vid and i hope you do more of these. I just bought some of that mr clean productbecause of this vid.
Got a vid posting later today.
I made 1000 bucks a week as a custodian
Oh WOW!!
When I used to be a janitor I used to find a lot of money and I would keep it
I find a dime or so every now and then.
How much money do you make as a custodian
Sorry but that’s to much of a personal question. But I will say this not enough.
I understand I want ask it any more
What to do if you have a custodian that gets really mad for me leaving early twice a month??
Let them get mad, There the one with the problem not you. Sounds like they are they have a pretty simple life with no problem of there own. To be all up in your business. Don't let that negativity get one you be the bigger person. Up the fun and leave early 3 times a month. LOL!
@ Here’s the thing I do great work for them thanks for the feedback!
Hey Mr jeff can I get a shout out today is my birthday
Happy birthday
We use envirox orange cleaner for everything. Mopping, carpet shampooing, you name it.
At my school board if there’s dishes we skip cleaning the sink but there’s always that one room where leave them for months and you start to wonder if they expect you to clean the dishes for them because the only way I’m touching your dirty ass dishes is to throw them in the trash 😂
When using products that are scented, there are many people who are very sensitive to aromatic smells. Use products that are chemically neutral. Using products that produce a surfactant that becomes sticky, not good.
Going to do a vid on strong cleaning smells.
What about using cleaning grade vinegar on floors
Never have look into that. So I really don’t know.
Im a floor tech at a hospital and we use a neutral cleaner but the ladies that clean patient rooms has to use a disinfectant cleaner that leaves a sticky film on the floor. When we go to buff those floors its like buffing a dirty car. It leaves swirls in the wax and destroys our pads with hard black debris.
That not good.
I'm a custodian at a elementary school. I find myself watching your videos often. I've been wondering what to use in my dull floors and it's like you read my mind. I'm going to buy the yellow Mr Clean that you have linked in your video. My only question is how much do I use ? Im not good with measurements so I want to make sure I'm mixing it right
1oz per gallon of water.
I can't stand fabuloso the lavender scent it's just too strong, I just use what's given to us being Stride but I do bleach my mop often usually on a Friday so I can then let it drip/air dry over the weekend
Yes sirree, a common occurrence for me! I just grin it & bear it. 😀
I knocked over a can full of milk and spaghetti the other day in front of all the kids😅. I looked up thinking they would all laugh at me but nothing… so I started cleaning it up and THEN one yelled he dropped it and all of them let loose😂😂😂for about two min. Very delayed
😂
Yep😅 then I just walk away for a min 😂
Yeap!
😂 literally just did the same last night😂
That’s funny!
Quite often 🤣 i stppped dumping small ones imto a big one. I just combine all the dirty bags into 1 now.
Let me guess, the back of the wringer leaking? Same thing happens with the mop bucket at my store
lol I was walking with my yeti cup. With my hands full. So it was tilted.
Yup did it today..
That sink needs to be scoured.
Oh it shines now. Just want to see how long dishes would stay in there. About a month.
@@mrjeffthecustodian I was told when I started custodial work that it was my “job to clean the sink not their dishes, if the sink is not clear of dishes don’t clean the sink.” Sometimes it’s like this video😜 see how long the stand off lasts. Thanks for all the videos 🙂
I work the same way. My Manager said if there's anything in the sink to work around it. @@lacyauchard1937
I have a good question Not about the paper towels but about the tile on the floor what's your best way of cleaning it? I could really use some good advice.
What kind of equipment do you have to work with and chemicals you use?
@mrjeffthecustodian Well I have the standard side-by-side and we just use regular tile cleaner but it's not getting the grout out. What kind of pads do you use when you clean your bathrooms with the side by side?
@stephenlrios A black pad will work on a side by side. A degreaser cleaner works well. I am adding a link of a video I did last Summer. I used a different type of machine. But the same method I have used with side by side in bathroom.ua-cam.com/video/s462_BUvAuU/v-deo.htmlsi=OxXrMJPMKRW6HWQ2
@stephenlrios here is another link. ua-cam.com/video/gUGx_8FXOxc/v-deo.htmlsi=C-PFWSO5Be_UXqE0
@mrjeffthecustodian Thank you
Hahaha. And you don't notice until you start walking back to the area you pick the trash up from. 🤦🏽😂
God this irks me when people do this Why don't they just mark the date on their items.
Oh this was dishes left in sink.
@@mrjeffthecustodian Yeah that pisses me off too Do you clean it?
Not get no power
I need to start doing this
Works every time.
😁😁
As a part time school custodian, I confirm very this is correct!
Great advice I've chemically stripped floors many times however I have a question about doing a top scrub when do you a top scrub do you burnish and then lay down a few coats of wax? Or can you just lay the wax down on the floor right after the top scrubbing process?
Lay wax down after scrub
Do you have a boilers license
No
@mrjeffthecustodian I know if you have one you can make more money
Brakes an pto time when iam burt out iam not shy about using my days when i fell that way
Know the feeling. Got to take care of yourself.
i lived though a 100 foot plunge just the other day , went back to work after the fire dept got me out
Our elevator has been making creaks and squeaks for about two years now and many times it will flat out just stop moving and send you back to the basement 😅fun times!
That's what my coworker did
Great advice experience. Flexible and creative problem solving. 100%.
Great video as alwsys. I want to buy it too but still doing my research. I'm glad you have it. Do you think that I can also use it to clean stair carpers ornedges ofnthe carpets
I would use something that extracts on carpet. Not this in my opinion.
I just got to say Why don't old men shave? Said is so worried some what the heck is hiding in all of that hair? Gross
