Recommended Method: Wall Mop and Handle:
As in all cleaning procedures, the first step is to gather the
recommended janitorial equipment and supplies together and bring to the
area to be cleaned.
Test the wall for porosity. Test the all-purpose detergent/cleaner or
EPA registered cleaner/disinfectant for compatibility with the surface.
Dust/vacuum the wall. Set up wet floor/caution signs. Then dip wall mop
and frame into solution and wring wall mop.
Clean the wall in a “framing” pattern (4 square feet area), starting at
the bottom. Rinse the wall mop and wall area using the clear water rinse
bucket. Clean the next “frame” area, overlapping the preceding “frame”.
Alternate Method: Sponge and Bucket:
Test the wall for porosity. Test the all-purpose detergent/cleaner or
EPA registered cleaner/disinfectant for compatibility with the surface.
Dust/vacuum the wall. Set up wet floor/caution signs. Then dip sponge
into solution and wring out.
Clean the wall in a “framing” pattern (4 square feet area), starting at
the bottom and work toward your dominate hand. Rinse the area using the
clear water rinse bucket. Clean the next “frame” area, overlapping the
preceding “frame”. Repeat these steps until wall is finished.
Inspect your work. Repeat procedure(s) if necessary.
Allow time to clean up and return the cleaning equipment to the storage
area.
Finally, when you are finished, wash hands and dry thoroughly.
