12. When all restrooms are complete, drain and rinse mop bucket. Clean touchless wand system by spraying clean water through the sprayer
NEVER USE BLEACH. Bleach is not a substitute for disinfectant. Bleach does not clean, is corrosive, and can be extremely hazardous to use. When mixed with, or coming into contact with, other chemicals it can be extremely dangerous and even fatal

4 Custodial Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Standard Operating Procedure for Carpet CareVacuum: Vacuuming is the first and most important step to maintaining your carpet. This must be done on a regularbasis in order to maintain the cleanliness of your carpet
Types of vacuums used in USD 259 for carpet: 1. Upright- This vacuum is better used for entry mats and areas that have a heavier amount of traffic. An upright vacuum is not as efficient as a vac pack but has a beater bar that allows a brush to have direct contact with the carpet
2. Vac Pack- This vacuum is worn on your back similar to a back pack. It allows for more efficient cleaning. The vac pack can be used on all different surfaces; VCT, wood, carpet tile, etc. Its wand allows for access to hard to reach places that upright vacuums do not. The down side is, there is no beater bar. This vacuum is an overall better option for a better more productive vacuuming program
The proper procedure for vacuuming is to start from the farthest point of the room and work your way out of the room,being mindful of areas under desks, counters and corners. In a classroom that has partial tile, a vac pack can be utilized inthat area to save time
Spotting Carpets: This is a very important part of maintaining a carpeted room. It is important to get all spills and spotsup as soon as they happen. Ask staff to notify you as soon as something is spilled as time is of the essence. Recent spillsshould be blotted first starting on the outside of the spill and applying pressure with a white cloth or rag. The goal is toabsorb as much material from the floor as possible without spreading it. The next step is to treat the area with a carpetspotter. Allow time for the chemical to work per the manufacturers recommendation, then extract. When spotting is doneregularly you can prevent permanent stains from occurring
Regular carpet cleaning: 1. Remove as many objects as possible from the carpeted surface; Desks, tables, cabinets, etc
2. Vacuum entire floor from furthest point of the room toward the door, removing all dirt and debris from the carpet
3. Spot carpet. Use a carpet spotter and be sure to read all directions before using any chemical. Remove all gum; for best possible results use a citrus based gel to break down gum and a plastic gum removing tool. Utilizing a putty knife can possibly damage carpet fibers. Utilize a carpet brush to agitate any tough spots. Be sure to work both with the nap as well as against the nap of the carpet when agitating a spot
4. Prepare the extractor with a neutral floor cleaner. Be sure to read all directions and dilute properly. The goal in this process is to use as little water as possible when utilizing the extractor. Starting from the furthest point of the room, work in a straight line from wall to wall. While extracting you will also be putting down chemical and water. For every wet pass you will want to be sure to do a dry pass, meaning picking up water and not adding any additional water to the carpet on the second pass. This is in an effort to get as much water up as possible
5. Once all carpet is extracted, starting from the furthest part of the room and working in an overlapping Figure 8 pattern, utilize a clean, dry bonnet on your low speed floor machine. This process is called blending and it aids in the drying process
6. The final step is to utilize fans to allow for a speedy drying process. The goal is to create a vortex within the room with air moving in a circular motion toward the door. An adequate amount of floor fans should be utilized in the room to insure air movement is sufficient. Remember the room size is important and the more fans the better
Door(s) should always be propped open to provide sufficient air movement and allow air to escape
