Non-Classroom Laboratories Cleaning Frequency
Laboratories that are designated as non-classroom laboratories are cleaned four times per week.
The desire of Custodial Services is to maintain the integrity of any experiment/research occurring on campus. We also strive to provide the custodian with a safe environment to work in. Because of the unique nature of laboratories there are some tasks that custodial staff refrain from performing. All dusting in laboratory area is to be performed only by laboratory occupants. Scrubbing, stripping and refinishing of hard surface floors are done at times of the year that are the least intrusive to the occupants of the laboratory, which may result in a frequency schedule more closely related to the laboratory usage. Chalkboards or marker boards are cleaned only upon request so as not to remove data essential for any on going experiments. Custodial staff does not clean laboratory sinks, service laboratory paper towel dispensers or soap dispensers.
