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 the glass cover or diffuser and place in cart. Remove the light
bulbs and starters and place in cart.
Remove the reflector, if not permanent, and place in cart.
Repeat this procedure for three or four fixtures.
Fill both cleaning tanks with hot water and add EPA registered
cleaner/disinfectant to one, following recommended dilution ratios.
Wash cover or diffuser in cleaning tank, rinse in rinsing tank and set
aside to dry.
Wash reflector in washing tanks, rinse in rinsing tank and wipe down
with drying cloth.
Fill bucket and add EPA registered cleaner/disinfectant to water,
following manufacturer’s directions.
Sponge down the permanent fixture parts and wipe dry.
Damp wipe light bulbs.
Repeat for three or four dismantled fixtures.
Be sure to inspect your work and correct any steps you might have
missed. As in all cleaning procedures, allow time to clean up and return
the janitorial equipment to the storage area. Finally, when you are
finished, wash hands and dry thoroughly.
