#2 - Dust Mopping Procedure: To remove dust, and light
litter or soil from floors as a daily cleaning procedure,
or in preparation for wet cleaning procedures.
Required Supplies & Equipment:
· Dust Mops
· Dust Mop Frames
· Quick Change Dust Mop Handle
· Dust Mop Treatment
· Dust Pan and Broom
· Putty Knife
· Stiff Bristle Brush
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 mopping 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 mopping obstructed areas, such as offices
or classrooms, use a small (24" or 30")
dust mop. Start dust mopping 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 broom 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 mops with
yarn facing away from walls. Wash hands.
