- Ever get overwhelmed with your job?my dad taught me a very valuable lesson. How to take things and accomplish them one step at a time. This lesson I have applied many times in many areas of my life. Often as a custodian we can feel like we are drowning in the work. Feeling rushed and sometimes not even knowing where to began. Sometimes we just need to stop and slow
Down and evaluate. To come up with a plan. To control the job and not allow the job to control us. That has been my sailing for many years now. Control the job don’t let the job control you. I have been a custodian for over 20 years. The purpose of this channel is to share some of my knowledge with you. I remember the feeling when I first became a custodian. I was given a set of keys, a radio and a badge. Didn't get any training whatsoever. Being a custodian is not rocket scientist knowledge. There are definitely things that a custodian needs to know. I call it the art of the trade. Tips and tricks that can make the job much easier and enjoyable. Contact me: mrjeffcustodian@gmail.com

I know you don’t keep a lot on your cart, is there a possibility of getting a video on how you go about stocking soap and paper products, especially if your rooms have paper towel dispensers and soap. Sure it’s fine if your bathrooms are right next to your closet, but some people have bathrooms all over.
I work as a substitute Custodian for a local school district. I'll get right to the point. All of the Elementary schools have ONE custodian. and a 7.5 hrs that we work out of 8 1/2 hr scheduled shifts. It almost always takes 7 hrs JUST to fully trash ( talking a LOT of rooms) and then having to Vacuum 8 to 13 rooms. That includes rounding up all the trash and boxes often takes 3 trips as the dumpsters can be over 100 yards away. Were not even mentioning here the 2 complete sets of bathrooms + the kinder bathrooms. Some places they assign 4 sets of bathrooms. I have gone without breaks or lunch about 85% of the time in my 2+ year stint. Our Junior highs have 2-3 Custodians..it's still a LOT of work... but nothing compared to the Elementary schools. Oh... supposed to dust 3 rooms a night... along with other little things.
I'd like to mention the "dangerous" thing of being alone at night.... falling... crime...or whatever . I worked for this same district over 40 years ago as a kid ! Just felt like a little work would make days off more fun again ! Had retired 8 years. The amount of work is really ridiculous. I would NEVER sign on as a "real" employee No no NO !
Custodian is a very demanding job...everyone wants to control or report things. Thank you to advice us.
I wish your videos were required to watch at our school district.
Hmm group message. Thanks for the videos and God bless!
Share my channel with your co-workers.
I know what you mean, I have 18 classrooms including labs lecture halls and a tutoring center where they eat make a mess daily, I could implement your advice for sure thank you.
AMEN
Thank you so much for this, definitely something I needed to hear
The job description would be absolutely impossible to do even for 1 shift.

Love it
What are you chances of you doing a video on your dust mopping method, like the pattern you use etc? So many rooms have different furniture setups.

I’m all about simple and keeping real. I lost my way on some of my videos. I just have had to get back to being me.
On that auto scrubber in the video, does the vacuum start by letting the squeegee down or do you have to hit a button to start it?
Button
