General Cleaners​/Power washers​/Outside Porters Medpace Cincinnati M to F

PRIMARY PURPOSE

To perform a variety of cleaning activities in assigned buildings/facilities, keeping them clean, sanitary and orderly, and to perform other tasks related to the area of assignment.

Using a treated high duster, begin cleaning in a counter‑clockwise direction around the room – high dust surfaces above shoulder height (lights, curtain tips, vents, ledges). Clean the high duster by gently brushing in a downward direction into the service cart.

Using a germicidal solution, work counter‑clockwise to sanitize surfaces below shoulder height (ledges, chairs, telephone, countertops, trashcans). Remove fingerprints and smudges from doorknobs and walls using the proper solution. Spot‑clean windows.

Wipe down in the following order: above and below the sink, toilet seat and the outside of the toilet bowl. Clean the inside of the toilet with a Johnnie Mop and germicidal solution, paying special attention to the rim. Clean and check soap dispensers and paper dispensers daily, refilling as needed. Empty trash cans, removing liners if liquid is present, wiping the can, and placing a clean liner.

Using a treated dust mophead, start at the back of the room using the “S” stroke to catch dust on the leading edge. Dust under all furniture and in restrooms, stopping just inside the door. Clean the mophead with the counter brush, sweeping dust into a dustpan and disposing it in the service cart. When vacuuming, start at the back of the room and work toward the door, getting under chairs and furniture.

Clean and check outside areas several times during the day. Tasks include:

• Empty and clean ash urns and trash cans
• Police sidewalks, flower beds and curb lines for trash and cigarette butts
• Spot‑clean spills on sidewalks and remove gum with a scraper
