Improving cleaning procedures involves changing the way or the focus with which cleaning is performed to better prevent or remove soils, contaminants, or pollutants, and to select and use less toxic products. These processes should be integrated into a system of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are part of the overall operations and maintenance plan for the building.
Building managers ideally should develop and maintain SOPs as a set of written guidelines that govern:
- Cleaning procedures
- Chemical handling and tracking requirements
- Equipment maintenance and operation procedures
- Communication protocols and requirements
- Training and inspection programs, and
- Reporting and record-keeping procedures
These guidelines should be made available to all cleaning personnel and occupants. In addition, if desired, a more in-depth housing complex-specific Green Cleaning Plan (see Appendix A) may be developed for every building or building-set to be cleaned.
