Use proper wet floor signage.
Proper floor signs are available in an assortment of shapes
colors and sizes. A slip on a wet floor can cost you money
from accidents and lawsuits. Wet floor signs are relatively
inexpensive and can fold away neatly so they don't take up
much space.
Prepare the area by moving an
obstacles before mopping begins.
Sweep, vacuum or dust mop the
floor to remove any large debris.
When wet mopping a floor use
two buckets. One bucket should be used for your cleaning
solution and the other should contain fresh cold water as a
rinse. Not rinsing a floor can leave a dull chemical haze and
make the floor slippery in spots.
Make sure to follow the
manufacturers directions when using any cleaning chemicals,
this will insure that you get optimum performance from your
floor cleaner. Fill your bucket 2/3 full for both buckets.
When mopping a floor, work from
the farthest corner of the room to the entrance. To mop open
flooring move the mop from left to right in a figure eight
motion. Move back one step after each side to side motion. The
mop tip 20 degrees from a vertical position toward the person
moping. The mop should pass at approximately 12-16 inches from
the feet.
When mopping hallways let the
mop strands just touch the wall or baseboards. Move down the
sides of the hallways first and then mop down the center.
When the mop starts to look
dirty plunge the mop head into your solution up and down about
three times. Place the mop in the wringer and apply firm
pressure with the handle. Turn the mop around in the wringer
and apply pressure with the wringer handle once more.
After the room has been mopped
with your floor cleaning chemical let the floor dry. Once the
floor has dried fully repeat the process using your fresh
water rinse. Letting the floor dry first can reduces the
chance of slipping when performing the fresh water rinse.
After these steps have been
completed clean and store the floor mopping tools.
