When using a hand-free mop to clean the floor in an optical store, special attention should be paid to protecting the lenses. The following are targeted cleaning plans and key precautions:
First, tool compatibility selection
Recommendations for mop types
Flat mop (with microfiber cloth) : The mop head can closely adhere to the ground, has strong adsorption capacity and is not prone to dust raising. The fiber cloth is easy to replace to avoid cross-contamination. It is suitable for cleaning lens debris or dust.
Electrostatic dust removal mop: Electrostatic adsorption of fine particles, no risk of dust raising, suitable for cleaning debris under shelves or in lens processing areas.
Mop accessories optimization
Widened mop head: Choose a mop head with a width of ≥40cm. It covers a larger area in a single cleaning and reduces the potential risk of collision with the lens due to repeated operations.
Detachable fiber cloth: It adopts Velcro or snap-on design, making it convenient and quick to replace the dirty cloth surface and avoiding secondary pollution.
Second, optimize the operation process
Preprocessing stage
Tools: Handheld soft-bristled broom (such as horsehair broom) + dustpan.
Operation: Gently sweep along the ground texture to gather the lens debris or dust into piles. Avoid excessive force to prevent dust or debris from splashing.
Mop cleaning stage
Initial adhesion: Fully unfold the fiber cloth of the flat mop and push it along the "S" -shaped path. Keep the Angle between the mop head and the ground at 15°-30° to ensure that all debris is completely wrapped.
Secondary strengthening: Replace the fiber cloth with a new one and conduct a secondary cleaning of key areas such as the lens processing area and shelf aisles to ensure there is no residue.
Final processing stage
Tool cleaning: After removing the fiber cloth, rinse it with clean water, add a small amount of neutral detergent and rub to remove oil stains. Let it dry and set aside for later use.
Ground humidity control: After cleaning, the ground humidity should be ≤15% (no moist feeling when touched by hand) to prevent the lens processing area from getting damp.
Third, key measures for lens protection
Avoid cross-contamination
Zoned cleaning: Divide the mops into cleaning areas (such as the lens processing area, optometry area, and sales area, using fiber cloths of different colors).
Tool storage: The mop should be hung in a well-ventilated area, avoiding contact with the ground or wall. The fiber cloth should be stored separately in a sealed bag.
Employee Operation Specifications
Key points of training: Do not immerse the mop in the bucket for cleaning (as it may cause debris to spread). Instead, rinse the mop head with running water.
Protective measures: Wear disposable gloves when cleaning to avoid direct contact of hands with contaminated surfaces.
Emergency response
Lens debris cleaning: If there are lens debris on the ground, first gather them with a soft-bristled broom, then use an electrostatic dust mop to adsorb them. Avoid direct dragging to prevent the debris from scratching the ground or equipment.
Liquid stain treatment: If there is any detergent residue on the floor, immediately rinse it with clean water and dry it to prevent the equipment in the lens processing area from getting damp.
Fourth, summary of key action points
Tool selection: Prioritize the use of a flat mop and a fiber cloth, and pair it with an electrostatic dusting mop to enhance local cleaning.
Operating Specifications:
Reduce dust in the pretreatment stage and control the speed and Angle in the mop cleaning stage.
Thoroughly clean the tools in the final stage to avoid residue.
Lens protection: Use mops in separate areas, disinfect regularly to prevent cross-contamination.
Efficiency optimization: Widen the mop head and lengthen the shaft body, reducing cleaning time by more than 30%.
Through the above solutions, optical stores can achieve a lens debris removal rate of over 98%, while reducing the cleaning time to 30 minutes per 100 square meters, meeting the dual demands of lens protection and operational efficiency.
