A taste of the course
The five cleaning rules
Professional cleaners follow these every time.
1
Top to bottom
Clean high surfaces first, so dust falls onto areas you have not cleaned yet.
2
Clean to dirty
Start in the cleanest area and finish in the dirtiest.
3
Dry before wet
Sweep or dust before you mop or wipe.
4
Towards the door
Start at the furthest point and work towards the exit.
5
Fold your cloth
Fold your cloth in four, so you always have a clean side.
Words of the trade
Words every cleaner should know
The words you will hear on the job.
SDS
Safety data sheet: the document that explains how to use and store a chemical safely.
PPE
Personal protective equipment, like gloves, masks and safety boots.
Dilution
Mixing a chemical with water. A 1:10 dilution is 100 ml of chemical in 1 litre.
Colour coding
Different colours for different areas, so a toilet cloth is never used in a kitchen.
One bucket, one chemical
Never mix chemicals. Some combinations give off dangerous gas.
Infection control
The steps that stop germs spreading from surface to surface and person to person.
