\"Floor<\/a>Keeping the floors clean in commercial premises is of paramount importance, even more so if you\u2019re operating in the food and beverage industry. To keep those floors clean and hygienic, the job needs to be done correctly with traditional floor cleaning methods. Taking shortcuts is something you should avoid and we\u2019ll be having a look at some common shortcuts many businesses accept that they really shouldn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are the 4 Shortcuts You must Avoid while Floor Cleaning<\/span><\/h2>\n

#1 – Some Companies\/Employees Avoid Pre-Sweeping the Floors<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, the floors are scrubbed or mopped without being swept clean of debris before this. The first major problem to occur when workers avoid pre-sweeping is that the floors are not getting thoroughly cleaned. Mopping generally won\u2019t pick up all of the debris and the action will more than likely just be spreading dirt around rather than cleaning it up. This debris getting spread around could also potentially harm the floor\u2019s surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 – Failure To Disinfect the Floors<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from sweeping the floors clean of debris before cleansing and scrubbing, the process should also include thorough <\/span>cleaning and disinfecting floors<\/span><\/a>. Without adding a disinfecting process to the floor cleaning procedure, the floors might appear to be clean but they may not be very hygienic. Disinfecting needs to be done to kill germs and bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 – Don\u2019t Vacuum Wet Or Damp Floors<\/span><\/p>\n

Just because you might be short on time, you should never lose patience and attempt to vacuum a floor that is still damp. It\u2019s just not going to prove very effective and if you\u2019re using a dry vacuum, you could end up ruining your vacuum cleaner or possibly even getting an electric shock. Only use a wet and dry vacuum cleaner or carpet cleaning equipment on wet floors.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 – Failing To Protect and Maintain Floor Cleaning Equipment<\/span><\/p>\n

Protecting floor cleaning equipment is just as important as cleaning the floors. If you don\u2019t look after your gear, your equipment will lose its effectiveness and if you\u2019re operating machineries such as a ride on sweeper or scrubber, your equipment could even break down if it\u2019s not maintained. The cleanliness of your floors relies on the quality of the floor cleaning equipment used.<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 – Using Too Many Chemicals<\/span><\/p>\n

Some workers, when attempting to clean a particularly dirty floor, might be tempted to use too much of a floor cleaning chemical or decide to make a cocktail of different floor cleaning chemicals. <\/span>Mixing chemicals can be dangerous<\/span><\/a> if they react with each other and too many harsh chemicals used on the floor may damage the surface of the floor. Over-use of chemicals should be avoided and is not a shortcut worth experimenting with.<\/span><\/p>\n

#6 – Avoiding Daily Floor Cleaning<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what business you operate, floors ideally should be cleaned daily. At the very least, they should be swept every day. If you\u2019re operating in food or beverage production or service, floors need to be cleaned and disinfected every single day and possibly even multiple times a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

#7 – Using Employees Who Have No Cleaning Experience<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want your employees to do the floor cleaning duties rather than hiring professional cleaners, then they need to be trained in how to effectively clean and disinfect the floors. Without proper training, they will simply be guessing and probably end up doing many things wrong or ineffectually. It\u2019s not rocket science but it does need to be done properly for the best results.<\/span><\/p>\n

#8 – Clean the Floors Last<\/span><\/p>\n

Things like desks and benchtops should be thoroughly cleaned of debris first before starting on the floors. If the floors are cleaned first, they\u2019ll simply end up getting dirty again when other equipment and furniture are cleaned. You also don\u2019t want people tromping all over a freshly-cleaned floor, especially if it\u2019s still wet. The floors should be cleaned last but not forgotten about.<\/span><\/p>\n
