Custodial Services

The Custodial Staff at California State University, Stanislaus is working together to maintain the cleanliness of the entire campus. The following is a basic outline of some of the many services Capital Planning & Facilities Management (CPFM) Custodial Staff provide. Any questions may be directed to the Customer Service Center at (209) 667-3211.

Capital Planning & Facilities Management recently experienced a reduction in Custodial Services staffing. In response, the department has evaluated its services and determined that it is necessary to prioritize certain buildings and spaces to maintain a reasonable and appropriate Standard of Care. As a result, service reductions will be implemented and inevitably felt throughout the campus.

The prioritization of academic spaces and restrooms will receive the highest priority. Followed by public areas and office spaces. The critical period for our team to service classrooms/labs, is between the hours of 5am and 8am. After 8am, we focus on all other spaces to complete our tasks as appropriate.

What does reduction in service mean?

  1.  Trash removal frequency in administrative office spaces will fluctuate each week. This will be based on staffing levels.

  2.  Vacuuming will occur as time allows based on staffing levels.

  3.  General servicing of public spaces such as elevators, lobbies, and building entrances will be completed as time allows.

  4.  Classroom and lab preparation prior to the first academic session may be difficult and is not guaranteed.

  5.  Routine tasks like dusting, window cleaning, and cobweb removal will be completed as time allows based on staffing levels.

  6.  Floor care maintenance (e.g., carpet shampooing, floor waxing) will be completed as time allows.

  7.  Support for academic and non-academic events (e.g., athletic games) during business hours will be difficult.

For additional information and clarification on the above service reductions, please see our Custodial Question & Answer section.

How can the Warrior Community help?

  • Place food waste in lobby trash cans, which will be emptied more frequently than those in administrative offices or classrooms. This helps with odor, pests, and delays in trash collection.

  • Pick up your own debris after meetings or class to minimize the amount of trash that needs to be collected.

Routine Cleaning of all the Buildings on Campus:

  • Public and student populated areas - these areas receive daily custodial services primarily performed by our custodial team, Monday through Friday. Services include restroom sanitation, trash removal, sweeping, mopping of hard floor surfaces, vacuuming of carpeted spaces, and cleaning of Egan boards/chalkboards and chalk rails. Deep cleaning, such as floor stripping and waxing and carpet shampooing, are typically performed during session breaks.

Routine Cleaning of Offices and Cubicle Spaces:

  • These areas receive as time allows custodial services. Services include dusting, window cleaning, cobweb removal, vacuuming, mopping, and sweeping.

  • Routine office trash removal day of the week will fluctuate based on staffing levels. If you trash is not removed during the week, please contact Capital Planning & Facilities Management at (209) 667-3211 (x3211).

  • Restroom cleaning, sanitation, and replenishing of paper and soap products.

  • Classroom/lab cleaning, sanitation, and replenishing of paper, soap, and Egan board marker products.

  • Waste removal in kitchen areas and break rooms.

  • Waste removal from public areas.

The following is accomplished on an as time allows basis:

    • Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, and window cleaning

  • Public areas - The following can be expected to be accomplished in public areas:

The following is accomplished annually by in-house staff in public, office, and student-populated areas, contingent on staffing levels:

  • Carpet cleaning

  • Hard surface refinishing

  • Detail cleaning of spaces

The following is accomplished annually or bi-annually (in the summer months) by a selected vendor, contingent on funding:

  • Hard Wood Surface Refinishing

    • Completed at the Fitzpatrick Arena gymnasium.

Trash removal has traditionally been scheduled once a week, on Wednesdays. Reduced service means that the day of the week may vary. One week it may be on a Wednesday. The following week it may be on a Friday. The day of the week is fluid.

This is determined by the Custodial department. Primary factor of staffing levels for the day will play a crucial role in determining if/when the task(s) for that specific day can be accomplished.

The Custodial department’s goal is to ensure academic spaces such as classrooms and labs are serviced each day between the hours of 5am and 8am; Monday – Friday. Contingent on staff levels for the day, ensuring your classroom is service may be delayed.

No. This task is specifically assigned to our Custodial team. The “borrowing” of equipment is not permitted. If your space needs immediate vacuuming, please contact Facilities Services at (209) 667-3211. A Custodial staff member will be dispatched to address your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please place food waste in lobby trash cans, which will be emptied more frequently than those in administrative offices or classrooms. This helps with odor, pests, and delays in trash collection.

The department will make every effort to service your space prior to and after your event. To ensure that your event is at least on the Custodial department’s calendar, please ensure you select Custodial Services when submitting your event within 25Live.

While servicing classrooms each weekday morning, we check and ensure markers are readily available for use. Often, markers are removed from the space. In this case, markers are made available to each department administrative office, upon request. You can also contact CPFM at 209.667.3211. We will replenish the markers as soon as we are able to.

Our team has three shifts that services are provided.

Pick up your own debris after meetings or class to minimize the amount of trash that needs to be collected.
