Study Notes

Cleaning Equipment Supplies, Materials, and Cleaning Chemicals

Cleaning: Involves the absence of visible dirt.
Sanitation: Refers to killing germs and bacteria through the use of sanitizing chemicals (e.g., disinfectants) or hot water/steam (e.g., dishwashing, laundry).

Cleaning Equipment and Proper Usage

Floor Polisher: Used for scrubbing, stripping, and polishing hard floors. Needs appropriate pads for each task.
Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner: Absorbs water, dust, and dirt from floors and other surfaces (e.g., upholstery, draperies).
Cart or Trolley: Used for transporting cleaning supplies and chemicals, making cleaning faster and easier.

Cleaning Supplies and Materials and Proper Usage

Scouring Pads: Made of abrasive materials for washing kitchen equipment and dinnerware.
- Green scrubbing pads: Used for general scrubbing; often used with scouring powder.
- Scrubbing pads: Used for cleaning painted surfaces, marble, and porcelain. Used with soap and water.
Wiping Cloths: Highly absorbent cotton cloths used to remove dirt and stains, and absorb water from tables, counters, and work surfaces.
Mop with Handle: Used for manual floor mopping. Retain clean water in one bucket while squeezing dirty water into another.
Ceiling Broom: Used to remove cobwebs and dust from ceilings. Clean bristles after use.
Trash Bag: Disposable receptacle for garbage or rubbish. Secure and dispose of properly to prevent bad odor and bacteria.
Soft Broom and Stick Broom: Soft broom for fine surfaces (e.g., floors). Stick broom for tough surfaces.
Sponges: Used to clean fine surfaces. Wash and rinse after use to remove any soap residue.
Bucket: Used with a mop for cleaning floors and walls. Empty when water is dirty. Clean and dry after use.
Insect Sprayer: Used to fumigate and eliminate pests and mosquitoes. Use a protective mask while spraying.
