In addition to the listed custodial cleaning duties, please be advised to add five (5) minutes per classroom/office/restroom for custodian to do spraying and one (1) minute of “dwell time” to disinfect all hard surfaces (i.e. desks, casework, sinks, etc.).

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines dwell time as, “the amount of time that a sanitizer or disinfectant must be in contact with the surface, and remain wet, in order to achieve the product’s advertised kill rate.”

In addition to the six (6) minutes allotted for spraying and dwell time there is additional time that will need to be set aside for wiping down all sprayed hard surfaces.  Wipe down time estimates will range 5-10 minutes depending on the classroom/office/restroom.

The total estimated time to spray, allow for dwell time and wipe down is 15-20 minutes.

The additional time needed to disinfect and wipe down will result in certain listed custodial duties not being done as frequently as they are done presently (e.g. vacuuming, dusting, etc.).  Head Custodians/Plant Supervisors are asked to discuss cleaning listed duties with their Principal/Asst. Principal to ensure cleaning priorities are understood and all agree.
