GROUNDS SERVICES
Hudson provides daily custodial services including cleaning of offices, classrooms, cafeterias, hallways, restrooms, gymnasiums, auditoriums and other areas of your facility all based on available man-hours per square foot of the building or facilities . Some accounts may have some areas cleaned every other day or only once or twice per week depending on their use and the scheduling of their facilities.
We develop a daily, weekly and monthly cleaning schedule for our custodians’ assigned areas. We perform scrubbing, stripping and floor finish operations to hard floor surfaces as required (typically in the Summer and small areas like a cafeteria over Winter breaks) and perform carpet cleaning operations including vacuuming, bonnet scrubbing and water extraction as required.
Hudson will set up contractor pricing levels for our accounts with our preferred vendors for quantity savings in regards to chemical, paper product and maintenance supply purchases. We also coordinate the use of products per the vendor’s recommendations appropriate for the area being cleaned. Our customers purchase the products to save our mark-up and use their tax-exempt status where possible. We can also obtain distributor-pricing levels from for customer purchased janitorial equipment and cleaning machines.
SERVICE SCHEDULES:
Service schedules are dynamic in nature and are to be used as a guideline for servicing and cleaning the facility. Facility usage, setups, wet weather, construction, remodeling, equipment breakdowns and classroom / gymnasium / auditorium schedules all play havoc in maintaining a facility in a daily routine-like manner. Some days may require more attention to some areas due to weather conditions, the required repair, or the usage for the day or for the upcoming day – as in setups for ceremonies, events, drama productions, graduations, etc.. Our service schedule guidelines are meant to steer the maintenance and custodial crew towards a common goal of maintaining the facility in an orderly fashion.
STAFFING MAN-HOURS:
Maintenance and custodial work are a redundant 24-hour cycles of use, abuse and cleaning – to be repeated over and over. Therefore, depending on staffing levels and the square foot of coverage per man hour allowed, cleaning will only be as good as the time allowed to perform the tasks required. All project work is based on available man-hours to perform the projects at hand. Adequate time must be allotted by the customer, in order for Hudson to perform maintenance and repairs, which are in addition to the normal daily schedules and routines to clean and maintain the facility that are required of our personnel
