Damp Mopping Patient Rooms

Damp Mopping Patient Rooms (Double Bucket Method) This method is recommended for use in health care facilities. In other facilities, refer to the single-bucket method. Recommended Supplies and Cleaning Equipment: EPA Registered Cleaner/Disinfectant All-Purpose Detergent Cleaner Dust Mop Frame and Handle Treated Dust Mop Head Dust Pan and Counter Brush Scraper/Putty Knife Wet Floor Sign(s) (2) Mop Buckets/Wringers Mop Head(s) Mat(s) Recommended Method: As in all cleaning procedures, the first step is to gather the recommended janitorial equipment together and bring to the area to be cleaned. Remove all debris from the floor and place in trash container, then dust mop floor area with a treated dust mop. Next, place a wet floor sign in the doorway. It is best to place the mopping buckets in the hallway just outside of the room you are mopping. When you wring your mop in either bucket, wring it enough so it is not dripping. It needs to be wet enough for the cleaner-disinfectant to be effective, but dry enough so that it doesn’t take a long time to dry. Fill one bucket (solution bucket) with EPA Registered Cleaner-Disinfectant. Fill the other bucket (rinse bucket) with clear water. Wring the mop out until it is damp, not heavy, in the solution bucket. Then mop the room using an S-Stroke pattern. When the mop dries out, return to the rinse bucket and then to the solution bucket. Start at the far corner of the room using a pattern that covers the entire room and ends at the doorway. How often should you change the mopping solution? Common sense will tell you to change it when the solution bucket is dirty, or the rinse bucket is dirty. The best advice is change the solution when it is dirty. But, in any case, the solutions should be changed after every 3 rooms. Allow the floor to dr y before removing the wet floor sign. Take a moment to admire your work, then clean the janitorial equipment thoroughly and return to storage area.   Search For Cleaning Supplies And Cleaning Products On Our Online Store
