Custodial hiring gaps stretched high school crews thin
This Wisconsin district could not reliably add extra custodial help across its high schools, yet corridors and commons still needed nightly scrubbing before classes.
Ride-on scrubbing pulled custodians off detail work whenever someone interrupted a route, wasting time restarting passes.
- Hard-to-fill custodial openings
- Long ride-on scrubbing shifts each night
- Frequent stops when staff were pulled away
- Need dependable corridor coverage
Two autonomous scrubbers at each high school
Leadership purchased two autonomous floor scrubbers for each high school and trained custodians to launch mapped routes that run to completion without an operator on the machine.
Staff treated the units as dependable team members that show up on schedule while humans handled classrooms, events, and public areas.
- Deploy two scrubbers per high school
- Map corridor and commons routes
- Train custodians on fills and exceptions
- Keep humans on student-facing detail work
Three to four hours reclaimed per school day
Custodial teams report saving three to four hours each day they no longer spend driving manual scrubbers.
Buildings and grounds leaders describe uninterrupted scrubbing cycles that free staff to service students, teachers, and public areas.

This account documents a published Wisconsin district deployment, not a Service Robot Co. customer story. It still shows how campus cleaning robot rental should pair two scrubbers per large school with mapped routes before expanding.
