Custodians across student housing are already using the award-winning Cardinal Clean system to clean and sanitize close to 100 residence halls. Recently, Cardinal Clean machines have been installed in almost all undergraduate residences laundry rooms, making Stanford the first campus in the US to offer students access to use this powerful and green cleaning solution for free.

Students should feel safe and comfortable in their on-campus living environment which is why the Cardinal Comfort Initiative adjusts the heating systems depending on weather conditions. To conserve energy and prevent overheating, the heating systems remain off during warmer months until outside temperatures drop. During the coldest Winter months, the heating will continue until temperatures begin to rise. The initiative also aims to educate students on how to properly adjust their thermostats and troubleshoot problems themselves, saving them time and reducing the need for maintenance requests.
