Floor Cleaning Tips

Here are some easy ways to clean up the floor. Fill a bucket with correct detergent solution and water. Fill a second bucket on the mop outfit two-thirds with clean, warm water. Set up Wet-Floor signs. Clear the room by removing the furniture.

Scrub the floor by operating the floor machine from side to side while applying solution. Overlap on each pass to be sure that the entire floor has been covered. Use care to avoid bumping the baseboards and other fixed objects. Use a scrub pad and holder to scrub corners and other areas not accessible to the floor machine.

Use a wet pick-up vacuum or remove the dirty solution with the first mop. Dip the clean second mop into the clear water and rinse. Wring out the wet mop frequently. Cover the entire area to be cleaned. Wipe off baseboards before they are allowed to dry.

Immediately clean up equipment at the conclusion of the procedure. All buckets and wringers must be thoroughly washed, rinsed and allowed to dry. All mops must be thoroughly washed and hung to dry, away from the walls. You can wash spin mop heads in the washing machine. All other equipment is either washed or wiped down and stored in the proper location. Wash hands.
