Step by step guide to double solution mopping workplace floors

Guide to Double Solution Mopping

1. Put on PPE, if specified, and assemble all of the equipment to be used and check each item for safety.

2. Place warning signs at the extremes of the work area and ventilate the area.

3. Mopping an unswept floor is a sure-fire way to scratch and damage your floor and leave behind fluffs of dust and hair. Firstly, sweep-up before you start mopping. Remove chewing gum or other litter with scraper.

4. In one bucket prepare cleaning solution following the usage instructions and fill second bucket with clean water for rinsing

5. Apply solution to an area of floor using the mop. Mop the floor using a figure of eight stroke with each pass overlapping.

6. Clean adjacent to skirtings by “cutting in” parallel to skirtings.

7. Use abrasive pad to remove stubborn marks.

8. Ensure bucket is behind line of work. Use separate, preferably colour coded, mops for applying cleaning solution and rinse water. When ringing out mop, stand in front of wringer and press down firmly.

9. Change cleaning solution when dirty. Re-charge mop with clean solution as required.

10. Wipe skirtings with cloth to remove splashes.

11. Leave floor as dry as possible and leave warning signs in place until dry.

12. Clean all equipment and check all items for safety. Return all items of equipment to the storage area and store safely and securely. Return warning signs to store when floor is completely dry.
