Procedure

1. Prepare area
Knock on the outside door. Open it slightly and announce your intention to enter. If the restroom is occupied, wait until it is empty. Then open and "stop" the door and post a "Closed for Cleaning" Or "Wet Floor Sign" sign.

2. Toilet bowls and urinals
Apply Secure toilet bowl cleaner to toilets and urinals. Follow the instructions printed on container. Let the cleaner stand while the balance of the restroom is being cleaned.

3. High dust
Remove all dust webs with a lambswool duster. Clean the wall vents, tops of doors and partitions with wipers dampened with RTU disinfectant solution.

4. Replenish supplies
Refill all hand soap, hand towel, Renature toilet tissue and sanitary napkin dispensers. Check the deodorizers and refill them when it is necessary. Check the working condition of all the dispensers in the restroom.

5. Clean light fixtures and mirrors
Wipe off the light fixtures and mirrors with glass / Mirror cleaner and clean wipers. Move around the restroom until all are cleaned.

6. Clean wash basins
Using a creme cleanser, bolex mild acid cleaner or germicidal solution (depending on soil levels) clean the interior surfaces of all wash basins. Exterior surfaces, faucets and piping under basins should also be cleaned daily. Wipe chrome dry with a soft cloth or wiper. Wash basin should be disinfected during each cleaning operation. Do not use powerful acid toilet bowl and urinal cleaners in wash basins. Wash basins are made of baked enamel that will be removed by strong acids or scrubbing with harsh abrasives. Use strong acid cleaners only on vitreous china toilets and urinals. Check faucets for dripping and ease of operation; also check the drain flow to see that each drain is clear and empties the wash basin properly.

7. Spot clean walls and partitions
Dampen a cloth with a germicidal solution or misty spray germicidal cleaner directly to the surface. Wipe off shelves, dispensers, receptacles, doors and partitions.

8. Clean inside of toilets and urinals
Clean toilet bowls and urinals thoroughly with toilet bowl brush or swab and disinfectant cleaner or proper acid cleaner. Check toilets and urinals with a flashlight mirror for stains and incrustations that are under the rim. Do not damage the smooth surface of vitreous china toilets and urinals by heavy scrubbing with abrasive materials. Flush, agitate with the brush or bowl swab. Flush again.

9. Clean exterior of toilets and urinals
Moving down the line, clean from top to bottom with germicidal solution mixed at proper dilution. Disinfect all surfaces, pipes and valves.

10. Pick up waste from floor
Use a lobby dust pan and corn broom to pick up all paper and trash from the floor. Use a putty knife and MaintenancePro gum remover to remove any gum.

11. Clean waste receptacle
Empty and remove trash can liners then wipe the interiors with a germicidal solution. Replace liners.

12. Clear floor of all obstructions
Remove all supplies and equipment. Put waste receptacles out of the way.

13. Mop floor
Apply properly measured MaintenancePro germicidal solution and hot water around the toilets and urinals. Begin at the far end of the restroom; wet mop floor or spray with a portable pressure sprayer. Allow wet disinfectant solution to work for up to ten minutes (during the waiting period move equipment and supplies to other areas). Wring out the mop and pick up the excess solution. Scrub with a deck brush if heavy, visible soils are present.

14. When floor has dried
Replace all of the waste receptacles. Remove the "Closed for Cleaning" sign. Wash hands and arms carefully, to avoid cross contamination. Rinse and wipe down the sink.

15. Clean up
Clean up all of the equipment at the conclusion of the shift. All buckets and wringers must be thoroughly washed, rinsed and allowed to dry.
