In the cleaning of the bottom of stationery store shelves, hand-free mops need to be combined with tool compatibility, operation skills and hygiene details to efficiently complete the cleaning of low Spaces. The following is the systematic operation plan for this scenario:
First, tool adaptation and transformation
Mop head selection
Flat design: Give priority to choosing a flat mop head with a thickness of no more than 5cm (such as the Miaojie ultra-thin model) to avoid the mop head getting stuck in the bottom gap of the shelf due to being too thick.
Rotatable joint: The connection between the mop rod and the mop head should support 360° rotation to facilitate Angle adjustment for cleaning the area behind the shelf column.
Customized extension rods: If the height of the shelf is greater than 1.8m, it is recommended to install extension rods (with a total length of ≥1.5m) to reduce bending operations.
The material of the mop has been upgraded
Microfiber + electrostatic adsorption: Use a mop with electrostatic adsorption function (such as 3M Sigao electrostatic mop replacement cloth), which can adsorb light waste such as paper scraps and dust.
Clipable mop: Cut the mop into narrow strips with a width of no more than 25cm to fit the narrow space at the bottom of the shelves.
Second, the cleaning operation process
Preprocessing stage
Remove obstacles: Move the promotional items, spare packaging boxes and other temporary items placed at the bottom of the shelves to an open area.
Dry dust removal
Use the dry mopping mode with a hand-free mop and push and pull quickly in a "Z" shape to absorb surface dust.
For dead corners such as the base of the shelf columns and the gaps in the skirting boards, a mini dustpan and a brush can be used for manual cleaning.
Wet mopping cleaning stage
Disinfectant solution ratio:
The stationery store mainly has dust and fingerprint stains. It is recommended to use neutral cleaners (such as Blue Moon All-purpose Water) diluted at a ratio of 1:50 to avoid corroding the metal parts of the shelves.
If disinfection is required (such as during the flu season), a small amount of quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants (concentration ≤0.1%) can be added.
Wet mopping technique:
Segmented cleaning: Divide the bottom of the shelves into several 1m×0.5m areas and clean each section to avoid omissions.
Pressure control: The mop head should be at an Angle of 15° to 30° to the ground, and a slight downward pressure (about 2 to 3kg) should be applied to ensure that the mop is in full contact with the ground.
Bidirectional wiping: First, wipe horizontally to remove surface stains, then wipe vertically to remove remaining water marks.
Finishing up
Quick-drying treatment: Quickly sweep the clean area with a dry mop to reduce water stain residue.
Tool cleaning:
Wash the mop three times with clean water, squeeze it dry and hang it to dry in the sun.
Wipe the mop handle with disinfectant wipes to prevent bacterial growth.
Third, efficiency improvement techniques
Zonal cleaning method
Divide the shelves by function (such as pen area, notebook area, gift area), and change the mop after each area is completed to prevent cross-contamination.
Time management
After the daily business hours, cleaning should be carried out. The cleaning time for each group of shelves (about 3 meters long) should be controlled within 8 to 10 minutes.
Tool linkage
Use a handheld vacuum cleaner (such as Dyson V8) to clean the dust on the top and vertical surfaces of the shelves, and form a three-dimensional cleaning system with a mop.
Fourth, recommend a combination of tools
Core tools:
Miaojie Ultra-Thin Flat mop (Mop head thickness 4.5cm, with 360° rotating joint)
3M Sigo Static mop Replacement Cloth (25cm×10cm)
Auxiliary tools:
Mini dustpan + brush set (for cleaning the base of the column)
Dyson V8 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (for cleaning the top of shelves)
Cleaner:
Blue Moon All-purpose Water (Neutral and clean, pH 7-8)
Anjie Quaternary Ammonium Salt Disinfectant (Food contact Grade, Concentration 0.1%)
By using the above methods, the cleaning efficiency of the bottom of stationery store shelves can be increased by more than 40%, while reducing the risk of shelf damage. It is recommended to carry out deep cleaning twice a week and mainly use dry dust removal on a daily basis to keep the shelves clean for a long time.
