I hate it when things get kept for long periods of time plus start to develop problemsome smells.
- I informed my men that our mop head must be hung to dry after it’s used or else it will harbor mold spores plus bacteria, thus dirtying the floor when you’re attempting to clean.
I think that they understand implicitly why this absolutely needs to be done, however I still can’t get them to remember every time. The most fortune I got was after I made physical signage to put above the mop station to remind them when they’re done to hang the mop head so the head can dry out completely, and then I had the technique of adding a substantial step to the start of every mopping process—cleaning the mop head before use with a single basket of diluted floor sanitizer to rinse out plus wipe it before making a fresh basket for mopping the basement. Others may find these procedures trivial, plus I believe that’s an unbiased position to hold if you don’t have a keen nose nor any respiratory dust sensitivities of any kind. Sadly, that’s not relevant to my husbandy plus I, nor our youngest child who has recently come down with asthma. The two of us had to wipe an old window system before using it in the basement because it had a smell every single time every one of us switched it on. Thankfully every one of us found a very special cleaning spray for cooling systems at the home goods store plus after multiple applications, the window cooling system was pleasant once again. The aerosol cleaning spray dissolved the black mold plus bacteria that had settled on the evaporator coil from years of use as well as storage.
