·         Maintenance shall only be performed by adequately trained personnel, i.e. engineering staff and/or equipment supplier.

·         All equipment required cleaning and correct storage

·         All equipment should be checked and inspected for damage on a regular basis to prevent major breakdowns.

·         The scheduling of maintenance should be based on the frequency of usage.

Vacuum Cleaners

Vacuum cleaners will give maximum cleaning efficiency when they are maintained well. The wheels of the machine need to be oiled periodically. After use, dust bags should be checked and emptied. If the machine operated with the dust bags full cleaning will not be efficient. The machine may heat up too much, and the bags get damaged. Wipe the casing daily and check the hose and flex before use.

Buckets

The buckets should be washed, rinsed, and dried. The squeegee should be wiped clean and replaced when necessary. The hose need to be rinsed out, the casing and wheels whipped, and the filter checked after use

Floor Polishers

·         The Brushes and pads should never be left on the machine after cleaning. The brushes should be detached after cleaning. The fluff should be removed from them before washing. Wash rinse and dry wet ones after use.

·         The pads should be washed, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.

·         The tanks should be emptied washed and dried. The wheels and casing should be wiped after use. The wheels need oiling periodically. The flex should be checked for any fraying before use

 

 

Brooms

Brooms should be shaken free of dust and fluff. Never store them standing on their bristles, or the bristles will bend out of shape, resulting in inefficient cleaning. Store brooms either lying horizontally or hanging bristles downward.

 

Brushes

Brushes should be gently tapped on hard surfaces to loosen dust and debris after the cleaning process. Frequent washing with water is avoidable since the brushes may lose some of their stiffness in this way.

Caddy

After each shift, they must be cleaned and topped up with replacement supplies for use in next shift.

Mops

Shake mops well after use outdoors the mop heads should be easily detachable so that they can be frequently washed in hot water with detergent
