When cleaning the floor of the pet store's boarding area, using a hand-free mop in combination with scientific disinfection methods can not only effectively remove dirt but also ensure the health of pets. The following are the specific disinfection steps and precautions:
First, the cleaning process
Pre-treat hair and dust
Use the dry mopping mode or electrostatic adsorption function of the hand-free mop to quickly clean up loose hair, dust and pet snack debris on the floor, preventing hair from entangling the mop during subsequent wet mopping.
For hard-to-reach areas such as corners and crevices, a creamer brush or a small vacuum cleaner can be used to assist in cleaning.
Wet mop disinfection
Disinfectant selection:
Chlorine-containing disinfectants (such as 84 disinfectant) : Dilute at a ratio of 1:100 (e.g., 10 mL of disinfectant +1L of water). They are effective against common bacteria and viruses (such as canine distemper and feline panleukopenia viruses), but be aware of the pungent smell.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate complex salt disinfectants: such as Dubonweike, when diluted as per the instructions, are non-irritating and suitable for daily use in pet stores.
Quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants: Low irritation, suitable for surface disinfection in the environment, but should be avoided from being mixed with anionic surfactants such as soap.
Operation steps:
Pour the diluted disinfectant into the water tank of the no-hand mop or spray it directly on the ground.
Use an "S" -shaped route to mop the floor, ensuring that the ground is evenly covered with disinfectant. Focus on wiping the areas where pet food bowls and water bowls are placed, as well as areas that may be contaminated by excrement.
After mopping the floor, let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the disinfectant to fully take effect.
Secondary cleaning
Mop the floor again with a clean mop (or a no-hand mop and replace it with clean water) to remove any remaining disinfectant and prevent the pet from licking and irritating its mouth or stomach.
For stubborn stains (such as pet urine marks), you can first apply a special cleaner to the affected area and then disinfect it according to the above steps.
Second, tool maintenance
Mop cleaning and disinfection
After each use, soak the mop in clean water containing disinfectant (such as 1:200 diluted 84 disinfectant) for 10 minutes, thoroughly clean it and then dry it.
Change the mop regularly to prevent bacterial growth.
Mop storage
Hand-free mops should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place to avoid mold growth caused by a damp environment.
Third, precautions
Pet safety
During the disinfection period, move the pet to another area. Wait until the ground is completely dry and there is no residue of disinfectant before putting it back.
Avoid using phenolic (such as Dettol) or aldehyde disinfectants, as these substances are highly toxic to pets.
Ventilation and air exchange
After disinfection, open the Windows for ventilation for more than 30 minutes to reduce the concentration of pungent odors and ensure the health of people and pets.
Regular deep cleaning
Conduct a deep cleaning of the foster care area once a week, including the walls, cages and crevices, and use a high-pressure water gun or steam cleaner to assist in decontamination.
Fourth, it is recommended to combine tools with disinfectants
Tool: Sorbona hand-free flat mop (extended panel + microfiber mop cloth, strong water absorption, suitable for large area cleaning).
Disinfectant: Potassium peroxymonosulfate complex salts (such as Dubonweike), which are highly safe and pet-friendly.
Auxiliary tools: Gap brush, electrostatic duster, pet-specific cleaner (for stubborn stains).
