Practical suggestions

1. All loose particles and litter should be removed before dealing with any stubborn
stains/dirt.

2. Use lighter cleaning methods before attempting stronger methods.

3. Before any implement or cloth is used, make sure they are clean and dry.

4. If possible, use a double bucket system when mopping the floors so that dirty water is
not reused while mopping. The first bucket contains clean water while the second bucket
is used to squeeze out the water from the dirty mop following which the mop is dipped in
the clean water and mopping done.

5. The Three bucket system should be ideally practised and that the first bucket contains
water with detergent used in the beginning. The mop is then rinsed in the second bucket
and dipped in the third bucket which can also contain a disinfectant and the mopping
done again. .
