How to Train Your Cleaning Staff for Maximum Efficiency
A clean and organized workspace doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of well-trained janitorial staff using the right methods and tools. At J and T Supplies, we believe that efficient cleaning teams are the foundation of every successful business. Here’s how proper training can transform your cleaning operations and keep your facility spotless every day.
Start with the Basics
Every cleaner should understand the importance of hygiene, safety, and attention to detail. Begin by introducing them to basic cleaning techniques such as sweeping, mopping, disinfecting, and proper waste disposal. Make sure they know how to use cleaning chemicals safely and how to read product labels correctly.
Provide the Right Equipment
Training is only effective when paired with the right tools. Equip your staff with high-quality janitorial supplies such as microfiber cloths, mop buckets, disinfectants, gloves, and protective gear. At J and T Supplies, we provide durable and easy-to-use cleaning products that simplify the cleaning process and improve results.
Teach Time Management
Efficiency in cleaning often comes down to time management. Train your staff to follow a routine—starting from high-traffic areas to less-used spaces—to ensure consistent coverage. Encourage them to organize their cleaning carts, so they have all tools within reach, reducing wasted time.
Focus on Safety Practices
Handling chemicals, wet floors, and cleaning machinery can pose risks. Make sure your staff follows safety protocols such as using signage, wearing protective gloves, and ventilating enclosed spaces. Regular safety briefings help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.
Encourage Teamwork and Accountability
Cleaning is a team effort. Assign specific areas to each staff member to create accountability while promoting teamwork for shared spaces. Encourage feedback sessions where cleaners can suggest better methods or highlight problem areas.

The cleaning industry evolves with new products and technologies. Keep your team updated with training on the latest janitorial innovations. At J and T Supplies, we not only supply cleaning products but also share expert advice on how to use them effectively.
