Soil
is a substance found where it is not wanted. Nature
places microorganisms in soil to conduct the process of digesting soil and
returning its nutrients back into the earth. Some of the
microorganisms can make living things sick and are therefore referred to as
germs. Living things have immune systems that keep the
"microorganism/germ count" under control. Buildings do not have immune systems to battle
germs. Therefore, it is imperative that building managers and custodians focus
on minimizing the availability
of germs by following residue-free cleaning practices.
The essays below identify a host of facility problems and then
explain how to proceed in dealing with them. We invite you to suggest a
