Customizable Training Options for Your Facility

Customizable Training Options for Your Facility

Maintaining a facility is challenging, and training a team to do it consistently can be just as demanding. Even with the right products in place, inconsistent procedures can lead to mistakes, rework, and unnecessary labor. When tasks are performed differently from shift to shift, quality becomes unpredictable and more time is spent correcting issues instead of maintaining spaces.

Standardized training helps facilities create clear expectations, reduce variability, and ensure cleaning tasks are performed correctly regardless of who is on the floor.

No single training method works for every team or facility. That’s why consistent quality depends on proper training and reinforcement from day one. Without follow-ups, check-ins, and clear procedures, results become dependent on individual experience rather than a shared standard.

Why Standardization Matters

Standardization provides teams with clarity. When procedures are clearly defined, staff know what tools to use, which products are appropriate, and how tasks should be completed. This reduces product waste, eliminates guesswork, and helps ensure cleaning is performed efficiently and safely.For example, understanding the correct tools and steps for restroom cleaning or floor maintenance helps prevent overuse of products and reduces the likelihood of improper procedures that lead to rework. When everyone follows the same process, results become more predictable and easier to maintain.

In-Person Training with Knowledgeable Representatives

Buckeye Representatives provide in-person training to help leaders and custodial teams understand proper procedures and application techniques. Our representatives will come to your facility and train your staff. They are available by phone when problems arise. They are experts at maintenance and can solve any problem. Other companies don’t provide this personal touch. Our goal is to create relationships with our customers so we can provide the solutions that make sense for their needs. 

Our representatives can provide specialized training for each program and product and are based locally so they can provide a service-oriented approach that ensures your team has the knowledge to succeed.

Training Tools and Resources

We also offer additional training options like the Honors Program for Schools and Universities, which focuses on building consistency through hands-on learning and ongoing reinforcement.

The Buckeye Honors Program is a complete training program designed to support custodial teams with planning, onboarding, and daily task execution. 

Honors can be tailored to the specific needs of a facility, and offers 24/7 online access with exclusive training videos, test reporting and customizable surveys.

Along with the Honors Program, we offer training programs for other facility types to compliment in-person training. 

To further support consistency, we can also provide educational wall charts and visual resources as point-of-use references. These include floor care charts for staff, hand washing guides for restrooms, and sanitation charts to support both staff and guest awareness. 

Ongoing Support

Training doesn’t stop once procedures are introduced. Buckeye provides various training materials and ongoing customer service to help answer questions and address challenges as they arise. 

Consistency Starts with the Right Support

Maintaining a facility will always come with challenges, but consistent training and clear procedures make it easier for teams to succeed. With structured training, visible resources, and ongoing support, facilities can reduce rework, improve consistency, and create more predictable cleaning outcomes.

Flu Season 2025: Step-by-Step Strategies to Prepare Your Facility

Flu Season 2025: Step-by-Step Strategies to Prepare Your Facility

Flu season peaks between October and April, but the best time to prepare is now. According to the CDC, flu activity often begins to rise in late August and September, which means early planning can make all the difference. Facilities that proactively stock supplies and reinforce best practices are better equipped to protect their staff, and visitors.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to reducing the spread of the flu and other seasonal illnesses before they start.

Step 1: Promote Healthy Hand Hygiene Practices

The CDC lists frequent handwashing as one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of the flu. The first step in supporting that effort is creating a visible, active hygiene culture within your facility.

Buckeye’s Symmetry® Hand Hygiene Program makes this easier with the Symmetry Behavior Modification System (SBMS). SBMS uses engaging visuals and educational cues to encourage healthy hand hygiene habits. Posters, digital placards, and motion-sensing placards are all tools you can use to keep hygiene front and center.

Pair that messaging with Symmetry Touch-Free Dispensers, designed for safety, ease-of-use, and minimal contact. They help reinforce healthy behavior while making hand hygiene more accessible to everyone in your facility.

Step 2: Clean and Disinfect Surfaces Daily

Cleaning frequently touched surfaces is critical to slowing the spread of flu-causing viruses. Buckeye offers a wide range of disinfecting products and step-by-step usage guides to help you maintain a healthy space.

Top product options for flu season include:

Sanicare Disinfecting Wipes – Quick and effective for high-touch surfaces.

Sanicare Quat 256™ – Broad-spectrum disinfectant for schools, offices, and public spaces.

Watchdog™ NF – Ideal for facilities with animals or sensitive environments.

Sanicare Mint, Lemon, or Pine – Disinfect and leave behind a pleasant, clean scent.

Whether you’re managing a classroom, office building, or healthcare space, these solutions are easy to implement and highly effective when used consistently.

Step 3: Train Staff with Step-by-Step Resources

When it comes to preparing for the flu season, prevention isn’t just about products, it’s about people. Training your janitorial and maintenance teams ensures proper protocols are followed consistently throughout the season.

Buckeye representatives can assist with demonstrations for your team that cover each product we offer to fit your facility and showcase how effective those products are.

Whether you’re looking to implement the Symmetry® Hand Hygiene Program or adopt the Buckeye Eco® Proportioning Program, our team makes sure your staff is equipped with the knowledge and confidence to keep your facility safer.

Start Preparing Now

The earlier you prepare, the more protected your facility will be during the height of flu season. Stocking up on supplies, reinforcing hygiene habits, and empowering your team with training are the best ways to prevent the spread of illness and promote a safer, healthier environment for all.

Keep Your School Clean All Year Long

Keep Your School Clean All Year Long

As the new school year begins, custodial teams face the challenge of cleaning every area of the building from classrooms and cafeterias to locker rooms and restrooms. With so much to cover, a structured, easy-to-follow training program can make all the difference.

One area that needs detailed cleaning and regular maintenance is the restroom.

Start with the Basics: 5 Daily Steps

To maintain a school building here’s a quick guide from the Buckeye’s Honors program on what to expect and or do around the school:

Develop a routine based on these five essential cleaning steps:

High Dusting – Remove dust from vents, ledges, and above surrounding areas.

Spot Cleaning – Wipe down walls, doors, and frequently touched surfaces.

Dust Mopping – Clear the floor of loose dirt and debris.

Emptying Trash – Dispose of waste and replace liners.

Damp Mopping – Finish with a thorough floor cleaning with products like Buckeye Green Light™.

These steps should be completed regularly, especially after peak times like lunch breaks or class transitions, to maintain a clean and healthy environment.

Step-by-Step Restroom Cleaning with the Buckeye Honors® Program

The school year is stressful enough, and having a program that suits you and your school is key. Here’s a sample of what our program outlines for critical areas such as restroom care:

Begin by preparing the space. Prop open the door and place a “Wet Floor” sign at the entrance.

Survey the restroom. Identify priority areas such as toilets and urinals, floor care, trash.

Toilet & Urinal Cleaning: Lower the water level with a bowl brush. Spray the entire toilet and urinal (inside and out) with Buckeye Gel Scrub™ and allow a 10-minute dwell time.

High Dusting: Clean vents, lights, and stall tops.

Mirrors & Glass: Use Buckeye Star Spray™ with a microfiber cloth or paper towel to avoid streaks.

Countertops: Disinfect and wipe down sink and counter areas thoroughly.

Floor Care: It’s essential to mop the floor from any spills and stains after completing all other steps.

Why Choose the Buckeye Honors® Program?

Get Ahead with Summer Cleaning

Get Ahead with Summer Cleaning

Summer break is just around the corner. Hallways are emptying, and staff are going on break, making this the best time to schedule deep cleaning and maintenance of the school.

Without the daily hustle and bustle of students and staff, facilities can clean, refresh key areas, and prepare for the upcoming school year. Whether you’re focusing on floor care, deep cleaning, or providing training for your team, now is the time to optimize your cleaning program.

Floor Care: A Step-by-Step Approach

The first thing people notice when they enter your school is the floor, and floors endure constant wear and tear throughout the school year. Summer offers the chance to restore them with proper maintenance, whether that means stripping and recoating hard floors, deep cleaning carpets, or refreshing entrance mats. To properly approach your floors, you should:

Plan Your Process: Prioritize longer projects such as refinishing floors into sections of the school throughout the summer and schedule cleaning in phases to maximize efficiency and drying time.

Use the Right Products: From floor strippers like Juggernaut® and Green Seal-certified Penetrate to cleaners like Buckeye Blue and Green Light, Buckeye offers the proper solutions to achieve lasting results.

Deep Clean Carpets and Mats: Remove dirt and build-up with effective cleaners like Gone™ H2O2  and Jet Stream to ensure all flooring surfaces are in top condition before students return.

Sanitizing High-Touch Areas

A thorough summer cleaning includes disinfecting and deep cleaning of high-touch surfaces. High touch areas can range anywhere from desks, chairs, whiteboards, and restrooms, to cafeterias. Did you know that school cafeterias can be dirtier than a toilet seat? Each of these areas can accumulate germs and buildup over the course of the school year and require deep cleaning.

The best way to disinfect these areas is with powerful cleaning solutions designed to eliminate bacteria and viruses. Buckeye’s Eco Proportioning Program provides custodial teams with the tools and products needed for efficient and effective cleaning and disinfecting. Our Buckeye Eco Proportioning Systems Buckeye Eco Pro™, Buckeye Eco Element®, and Buckeye Eco Edge® are compact, flexible, and designed to fit seamlessly into custodial closets.

To complement these systems, Buckeye offers high-performance disinfectants and restroom cleaning solutions, including Buckeye Terminator™, formulated to eliminate bloodborne pathogens and bacteria, and Ever-Clean®, a Green Seal-certified solution ideal for maintaining restroom cleanliness.

Training through the Summer

With summer cleaning, floor resurfacing, and many other projects, comes the need for training staff to handle these projects and prepare for the fall. The best way to train your staff properly is to implement a program dedicated to preparing your team for success. Buckeye’s Honors® Program gives your staff all the knowledge they need to succeed and help your school to shine throughout the summer and into fall. 

With the Honors® Program, Buckeye provides 24/7 access to an online training portal, including instructional videos, tests, reporting, customizable surveys, and progress tracking. No matter when new hires join your custodial staff, this program ensures seamless and effective training.

Next Steps

There is a lot to do in the summer months, however, with the right steps in place, all can be achieved, and your school will be ready for the new school year.

Are Your Floors Ready for Winter?

Are Your Floors Ready for Winter?

Winter weather is fast approaching, and one of the best defenses against the season’s challenges is the placement of mats. Mats help stop snow, salt, dirt, and debris from being tracked through your facility, keeping your floors cleaner and reducing the risk of slips and falls. However, to maximize their effectiveness, it’s essential to maintain your mats throughout the season.

Impact of Ice Melt on Finished Floors

Ice melt products, while helpful in preventing icy conditions, can be harmful to finished floors. The residue from ice melt can leave behind white, chalky stains, dulling finishes and sometimes even causing surface damage. This makes it essential to have high-quality mats in place, and to keep them clean, to catch as much ice melt residue as possible. Facilities should ensure they have enough matting at entrances, ideally 15-20 feet in length, to capture debris from multiple footfalls before individuals reach the main flooring area.

Combatting Ice Melt Stains and Scuffs

To reduce winter damage, facilities can adopt a floor care strategy that addresses both high-traffic areas and entryways.

Set a Regular Cleaning Schedule: Frequent sweeping and mopping are essential, particularly during and after major snow days. Regular upkeep prevents ice melt, dirt, and salt from embedding in floors.

Immediate Entryway Care on Snow Days: Remove mats temporarily from entryways if ice melt residue has built up under or around them. This allows for direct cleaning of the floor beneath, minimizing damage. Sweep away any debris, large ice chunks, or salt particles left by foot traffic.

Apply Buckeye Floor Cleaner: Select a cleaner from Buckeye's lineup that is designed for winter floor maintenance. For an eco-friendlier option, Buckeye offers two Eco Floor Cleaners. Buckeye Eco® Floor Cleaner Fragrance-Free E32 S32 and Buckeye Eco® Floor Cleaner E33 both provide a greener solution without compromising the effectiveness of the floor cleaner. Use the cleaner to restore shine, remove scuffs, and prevent buildup on finished floors.

Rinse Thoroughly: After mopping, clean the mop and empty the dirty water to prevent spreading residue on other areas. Rinse the floor with clean water, and mop thoroughly to eliminate any remaining product or salt residue.

Use an Auto Scrubber: For larger areas or where available, an auto scrubber can streamline this process by simultaneously cleaning and rinsing the floor, helping maintain a uniform appearance and removing deeper debris effectively.

Matt Maintenance Care

Outside Entrance Mats

To keep outside entrance mats effective, sweep the surrounding sidewalk and area daily to minimize tracked-in dirt. Spot-clean mats with a Buckeye carpet spot remover, like Gone H2O2 as needed. Apply the solution to the spot, allow it to dwell, and agitate the area with a brush or carpet bone from the outside toward the center. Blot dry with a clean, absorbent cloth to finish.

Inside Mats

Vacuum inside mats daily, ensuring to overlap each part of the mat by 2-3 inches for maximum soil removal. If needed, use a Buckeye carpet spot remover, like Gone H2O2 for stains. Saturate the spot, allow it to dwell, and then agitate with a brush or carpet bone, working from the edges inward. Blot dry to prevent moisture from soaking into the backing mat.

Maintenance Products, Programs, and Training for Healthcare Facilities

Maintenance Products, Programs, and Training for Healthcare Facilities

Combatting the spread of HAIs (healthcare associated infections) in healthcare facilities is a complex task that requires a multi-faceted approach. Hospitals and other healthcare facilities require an effective cleaning and maintenance program to protect staff, visitors, and patients from the spread of germs and illness.

Hand Hygiene 

The CDC states that hand hygiene is one of the most important steps in reducing the spread of germs. Making hand sanitizer and hand washes readily available to staff and visitors can help reduce the risk of the spread of germs, but there are other ways an effective hand hygiene program can combat disease.

In addition to top-of-the-line products, offering education and awareness materials alongside behavior modification tools that inspire immediate hand hygiene practices can increase compliance rates in healthcare facilities.

The Symmetry® Hand Hygiene Program offers those tools and more. Symmetry’s Point of Care tools make hand hygiene available when it’s needed most. For example, the 50 ml Tray Table/W.O.W. Clip puts sanitizer right at the patient’s bedside for easy access before and after patient care.

Cleaning and Disinfecting 

Proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures can have a huge impact on the spread of germs in any healthcare facility. The Buckeye Eco® Proportioning Program simplifies cleaning and disinfecting with automatic dilution, ensuring important products like disinfectants are properly diluted every time.

Eco products include cleaners, disinfectants, and sanitizers for every surface in a hospital or healthcare facility. EPA expects products on List N to kill all strains and variants of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) when used according to the label directions. All Eco disinfectants are on List-N.

However, a cleaning program is not complete without the proper training. Cleaning and disinfecting procedures need to be followed carefully so areas like patient rooms and hospital waiting rooms remain free of germs. To ensure hospital staff have access to the information they need, Buckeye created the Prescription Training Program.

Prescription is a complete maintenance program for hospitals that presents the products, procedures, and training needed to meet your facility’s highest standards. The Prescription program provides training in routine cleaning, patient room cleaning, surgery room cleaning, restroom, carpet care, hard floor care, and product safety. This program and its resources are available online, 24 hours a day.

Reducing the spread of HAIs is a constant battle. Make sure the people in your healthcare facility have access to the tools they need to combat illness. Contact your local sales representative to learn more.
