May 7, 2005 -- Purpose
To remove dust, and light litter or soil from
floors as a daily cleaning procedure, or in
preparation for wet
cleaning procedures.
Procedure
1. Preparation
Take properly treated
dust mop to the area to be cleaned.
2. Dust mop area
Use a
dust mop of the appropriate size for the floor space that needs to be dusted. Start at one end of area. Hold the mop handle at approximately a 45 degree angle. Push the
dust mop straight ahead. Shake the mop to unload it frequently. Avoid lifting the mop from the floor or moving it backwards during the
dust mop ping procedure. Remove gum with putty knife. Turn at the end of the pass and
dust mop in the opposite direction. Overlap about ten inches.
When
dust mop ping obstructed areas, such as offices or classrooms, use a small (24" or 30")
dust mop . Start
dust mop ping at the entrance to the room. Work from the sides of the room to the center. Move furniture as you
dust mop and replace it in its correct position. Dust mop carefully around equipment. Remove any gum with a putty knife.
3. Pick up trash and dirt
Use a dust pan and counter brush to sweep up accumulated trash. Empty this into a trash chute or trash container.
4. Clean up
Take the
dust mop to the janitor's closet. Close the closet door and brush out
dust mop with a stiff bristle brush or place the
dust mop head in a plastic liner and shake it sharply several times. Cure the
dust mop with
dust mop treatment at the end of the cleaning operation. This allows time for the
dust mop treatment to spread throughout the
dust mop . It also eliminates a wet, oily streak on the floors, from the
dust mop . Replace the mop head when it is soiled and return the soiled mop head to the laundry. Always hang
dust mop s with yarn facing away from walls.
Wash hands.
