Scope Goals Implementation Cleaning Product and Equipment Specifications Guidelines for Safe Handling and Storage of Products Training Responsible Parties Time Period Appendix A: Recommended Resources Appendix B: Finish Schedule

Introduction

The local USDA Forest Service Office has developed the Idaho Panhandle National Forest Sandpoint Ranger District Office Green Cleaning Plan: Policies & Practices with the primary goal of reducing the exposure of building occupants and maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemical, biological, and particulate contaminants, which adversely affect air quality, human health, building finishes, building systems, and the environment by implementing and managing green cleaning operations. This plan includes the overall policy as well as specific requirements for products, practices, training, and logs to be used in the Sandpoint Ranger District Office.

Studies estimate transitioning to green cleaning processes, in addition to improved ventilation and cleaning procedures could create an annual productivity gain of $30 billion to $150 billion nationwide due to improved indoor environmental quality. EPA studies report that common cleaning chemicals regularly cause complaints of central nervous system disorders, dizziness, irritation to the mouth, throat, eyes, skin, lungs and GI tract, kidney damage, respiratory failure, and ataxia, among other symptoms and illnesses. Many of the harmful chemicals found in cleaning products are unnecessary additives. Fortunately, alternatives are now readily available and can result in greater productivity, decreased liability, and ongoing protection of the investment in Leadership in energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

Scope

This plan applies to all activities generally required to clean all areas within the Sandpoint Ranger District Office (13,363 square feet). Intended to assist the building owners and facility managers in achieving a hygienic and safe indoor environment, this plan applies to the following facility operations processes:

· Purchase of cleaning products, equipment, and janitorial paper products.

· Handling and storage of cleaning products, equipment, and janitorial paper products.

· Maintaining of documentation and logs for cleaning products and tools, janitorial paper products, powered cleaning equipment, hard floor maintenance and carpet maintenance.

· Cleaning standard operating procedures (Description/Specifications, contract) guiding the implementation and management of the Green Cleaning Plan.

· Training and communications with personnel, service providers, vendors, and occupants.

· Requests for proposals (RFPs) used to identify and contract with outside service providers and vendors.

The Green Cleaning Plan’s requirements are mandatory for any in-house or contracted cleaning service provider as well as for the procurement of cleaning products, equipment, and janitorial paper products.

Goals

The goals of this Green Cleaning Plan include:

· Reduce the exposure of building occupants and maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemical, biological, and particulate contaminants, which adversely affect air quality, human health, building finishes, building systems, and the environment by implementing and managing green cleaning operations.

· Purchase and document use of products and equipment that meet the sustainability criteria outlined in this plan, including items used by in-house personnel or contracted service providers.

· Purchase and maintain janitorial equipment that reduces building contaminants, minimizes environmental impact, and work injuries.

· Assemble documentation for building finishes, products and equipment, material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and technical bulletins, chemical handling and storage procedures, dilution controls, maintenance plans, and cleaning SOPs and schedules.

· Implement an ongoing training program and strive for continuous improvement.

· Engage cleaning service providers and vendors that can provide cleaning services and products in accordance with this plan.

Implementation

A focus on efficient use of chemicals and supplies, meeting hygiene goals, and protecting building occupants, systems and finishes will guide the effective implementation of this plan. Procedures and techniques are as essential as product and equipment selections to successful implementation; product and process both contribute to achievement of the goals outlined by this plan.

Guidelines for Safe Handling and Storage of Products

The average janitor uses about 23 gallons of chemicals per year. With one of the highest rates of job-related injuries, an estimated 6 out of every 100 janitors are injured by the products they use. The following guidelines are designed to reduce hazards, improve safety, and encourage efficiency:

· Education on procedures to minimize exposures and impacts of chemical handling, managing hazardous spills, mishandling, and other incidents must be provided.

· Instructions for use, manufacturers material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and technical bulletins must be readily available and/or posted. A Safety Manual must be on hand and include contact information for hazardous events and step-by-step instructions for proper use of each product available.

· Technical bulletins must provide full disclosure of ingredients including disclosure of all ingredients, both hazardous and nonhazardous, that make up 1% or more of the undiluted product and concentration ranges for each of the disclosed ingredients.

· Chemical handling and storage must always be conducted in a manner that limits opportunities for accidental spills, leaks, and other mishaps including securely closing containers when not in use, ventilation of cleaning storage rooms, and preference for dispensing equipment which minimizes worker exposure.

· Protocols for height of storage, separating volatile chemicals, identification of chemicals that require the use of gloves, and other handling guidelines must be followed.

· Appropriate dilution controls must be adhered to.

· Products should be used until containers are completely empty. Any excess product must be disposed of according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Recyclable packaging must be recycled and, at a minimum, include paper, cardboard, plastics, metal, and glass.

Description/Specifications (Contract) Descriptions/Specifications (contract) address the consistent implementation and management of the Sandpoint Ranger District Office Green Cleaning Plan. A focus on efficient use of chemicals and supplies, meeting hygiene goals, and protecting cleaning personnel, building occupants, systems and finishes from contaminants will guide the effective implementation of the Green Cleaning Plan. Because the cost of cleaning is 80-90% labor, at the core of operational effectiveness is the number of labor hours required to perform the tasks.

The development of clear specifications for processes, such as cleaning restrooms, removing trash and recyclables, floor and carpet maintenance, office cleaning, and the frequency of the tasks is central to creating effective specifications and descriptions. The materials to be cleaned include: Carpet (Interface), Forbo Marmoleum (linoleum), porcelain/ceramic tile, wood base and trim, laminate countertops, rubber base, wood doors and casework, painted walls and ceilings.

Sandpoint Ranger District Office green cleaning contract Descriptions/Specifications address the following:

1. General Cleaning Systems

· Consideration of facility usage patterns.

· Specify more frequent and intensive cleaning zones.

Appendix B: Finish Maintenance and Cleaning

Marmoleum Flooring (www.forbo-flooring.com)

Dust wiping and damp removal of stains usually is sufficient for normal routine cleaning. In this way daily cleaning is easy to perform so it will barely interrupt the normal use of the floor. A smart combination of regular cleaning and occasional maintenance will keep the floor covering in a perfect condition for a very long time.

The Forbo FloorCare system is based on two essential principles of resilient floor care:

Cleaning: dirt is removed by dry or damp cleaning Maintenance: the surface is kept closed and smooth

These two principles will perform complementary:

- Removing solid and sticking dirt will minimise the risk of sharp particles (such as sand) causing microscopic surface damages and scratches from foot and other traffic.

- A well closed and smooth surface will prevent dirt from being trapped into microscopic damages and scratches in the surface; the flooring appearance remains clean and bright.

To achieve these essential situations, the Forbo FloorCare system supports two different methods. The preferred floor care method is determined by the availability of dedicated tools: the most effective and economical method is performed by using a so called one-disk or rotary machine. For those situations where using machine is not a practical option, a manual floor care method can be applied.

The Spray method

Mechanical floor care, using a rotary machine In most situations the Spray-method is the best option. Spray-cleaning will keep the floor in optimal condition and inhibit the adhesion of dirt. The Spray-method provides a dry and hygienic environment.

Products Forbo Cleaner is an effective and pH neutral cleaner.

Forbo Spray acts both as a spray cleaner and as a protective, satin gloss polish.

For more information: www.forbo-flooring.com.

If you want to use alternative products, please consult your local supplier.

Tools Dust mop and dust cloth, wiper or water vac, damp mop, a rotary machine. Most producers colour code their pads. Usually a buffing pad is red; for scrubbing use a red or green pad. A full Spray film is easily applied by a suitable applicator (e.g. synthetic sheepskin type)

Rotary speed For periodic Spray cleaning, 150 to 300 rpm is recommended; use 300 to 500 rpm for removing gloss disturbances and to restore optimum appearance.

The Monel method

Manual Forbo floor care, using basic floor care tools The Monel method (or ‘soap film method’) is the best option when a rotary machine is not available or not practical. A water-soluble Monel film prevents stubborn dirt from adhering to the flooring surface. Monel provides a satin gloss and an improved slip resistance.

Products Forbo Monel is an effective cleaner and a protective soapfilm product. A Monel film prevents stubborn dirt from sticking to the flooring surface. The soapfilm will be removed and renewed at the next periodic cleaning.

If you want to use alternative products, please consult your local supplier.

Tools Dust mop and dust cloth, wiper or water vac, a damp mop, a scrub brush.

Topshield renovation

Should the Topfinish of Marmoleum/Artoleum incidentally be damaged, Forbo comes into its own with its unique renovation products, enabling the restoration of the floor’s original finish and appearance.

Products TopFinish and TopRemover are specially formulated as a system for renovation of Topshield on Marmoleum/Artoleum TopRemover has a neutral pH (ph=7) and is safe for humans, for the environment and for the floor Do NOT use TopRemover on vinyl floorings.

Do NOT use alkaline products (such as high pH stripper) on Marmoleum or Artoleum.

Tools Dust mop and dust cloth, wiper or water vac, damp mop, rotary machine, (green) scrub pad. TopFinish is easily applied by using a suitable applicator (e.g. a synthetic sheepskin type).

Tile Grouts and Sealants LATICRETE® Portland Cement Based Grouts - Installation Procedures

Maintenance of Portland Cement Based Grouts:

Standard mopping of tile simply moves the dirt off the tile (the high points) and deposits that dirt into the grout joints (the low points). Correct cleaning procedure entails specifying the right cleanser, proper equipment to actually scrub both joints and tile followed by wet vacuuming and thorough rinsing of the tile.

Clean the installation with a neutral cleanser. Rinse with water and polish dry with a Turkish towel twice a week for the first month after installation. Regular cleaning can be done with a damp cloth or mop. Thorough cleaning with a neutral detergent can be done on weekly or monthly intervals.

The following steps should be done for problem cleaning:

A. Sweep tile and joints of loose debris

B. Apply a neutral cleaner with a wet mop

C. Allow cleaner to soak on surface of tile

D. Scrub exceptionally dirty areas with nylon (Mylar) bristle brush

E. Wet vacuum areas of excess water and dirt.

F. Rinse with clean water and remove excess water with well rinsed (or clean) mop.

G. Polish dry

There are no ANSI or ASTM performance requirements for cleaners. For listing of current Materials and Methods
