Did you know that mopping floors is a major source of workplace accidents? It can cause shoulder, elbow, wrist, and, of course, back pain. We think we know how to properly mop floors, but in reality, few have had the chance to receive proper training on the subject. In this article, learn how to dance with the mop!
What equipment should you favor?
This question is not simple. That is, it depends on several factors such as:
- The washing area
- The coating
- The time you have available for this task
- The budget you have for purchasing accessories and equipment.
The self-scrubber
Remember that any purchase can affect the quality of the work done, but also the health and safety of your employees. So, it's worth thinking about THE best option for you and the space you have to clean. First and foremost, I always favor theuse of the auto-scrubberWe now have a wide range of scrubber dryers in Quebec! Small, medium, ride-on, equipment that can even reach under shelves, and even scrubbers that can even scrub floors!
Learn to dance with your mop
There are, however, buildings where only damp mopping will work. flat wash system will therefore do an excellent job at this level. Any place where there is a lot of furniture makes washing with an autoscrubber impossible (classroom, office, library, bathroom or locker room, etc.). You will even save time.
By the way, I hope you learn to dance with your mop!!
- This means never going beyond the width of your arms.
- Going backward rather than forward
- You can move your feet, as long as it doesn't stretch your back
We have made a reminder leaflet for you on the correct method which can be displayed in the cleaning rooms.
Good practice!
