Cleaning Methods
Start by wearing the suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which includes gloves and safety goggles.
Sweep the entire floor area using a broom, collect debris into a dustpan, and dispose of it in the designated rubbish bin.
Prepare a mop bucket with an appropriate cleaning solution, then mop the floor, ensuring all areas are thoroughly covered.
Utilise a sanitising spray and cloth to meticulously clean all touchpoints, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Clean the external surface of the compactor by wiping it down with a damp cloth to eliminate dust and grime.
Empty all rubbish bins, replace the liners, and clean the bins using a disinfectant spray.
If necessary, utilise an odour neutraliser to guarantee the area is free from unpleasant smells.
