Housekeeping involves all activities related to the cleanliness of institutions, workshops, Industrial areas, equipments and the elimination of nonessential materials in the hazardous areas. Here are some of the following general housekeeping practices must be applied to all areas within the institutions, workshops and all areas where employees work towards maintenance, construction and other activities.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Garbage materials, scraps and other waste materials are to be disposed in containers constructed of non \u2013 combustible materials or approved of non \u2013 metallic materials (e.g. UL approved plastic).<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Equipments are to be kept clean, and in good working condition.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Work areas are to be kept clean to insure that work activities may proceed in an orderly and efficient manner.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Compressed air shall not exceed 30psi when used for cleaning purposes. Eye protection is required during these cleaning operations.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The use of compressed air for cleaning an employee\u2019s body or clothing must be prohibited.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>7.

It starts from one corner of the room and ends at another corner and it can be taken out using the dust pan.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">b.\u00a0<strong>Damp Dusting: <\/strong>Less amount of water taken in the cloth, squeezed well and dried little in the air is known as damp duster cloth. When wiping the major parts the dust will stick to the cloth and it should be done twice, at least to get a clear result. It is not applicable for all surfaces such as wooden, polished surfaces. Wetting the cloth is very important because it ensures the moist condition of the cloth.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">c.\u00a0<strong>Dusting: <\/strong>Normally when we wipe a surface with a cloth it is known as dusting. It should be done with a clean soft cloth<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">d.<strong>Mopping: <\/strong>Wiping a surface is known as mopping. A material is coarser than a duster is used as a mop material. In this type of mopping both dust and dirt is removed. Basically mopping is done on the floor and there are many styles in doing so. Some dirt may come out easily but some may not. Additional force is to be used to remove thick dirt. In this process corners should be given special care to remove the dirt from it.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">e.\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Box Sweeper<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">: These are also called as carpet sweepers and are used for sweeping up the dust from smooth flooring such as rugs and carpets. A box sweeper consists of a friction brush that rotates when the equipment is pushed manually over the carpet or floor. The dust gets collected into the built in dustpans.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">f.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Wall Brooming: <\/strong>These are ceiling brooms called Turk\u2019s head. These brooms are used to remove cobwebs from ceiling, and high ledges. It is used to clean the wall removing cobweb and to keep the area clean and tidy, the guest areas and the public areas are to be cleaned and kept tidy. These brooms are made of coconut fiber and are used for coarse surface, especially outdoors.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">g.\u00a0<strong>Washing: <\/strong>Hard broom with water used to remove dirt from different surfaces is called washing. Here washing agents with fragrance may be used to remove dirt. More quantity of detergent is added based on the toughness of the stain. Washing makes the surface clean and it ensures the hygiene. Materials used in this washing are brooms, bucket, brushes, etc. when compared to mopping, washing is not an easy way to remove the dirt but it makes the surface cleaner.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">h.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Polishing: <\/strong>Polishing does not clean but produce a shine by providing a smooth surface. It falls under 3 categories they are oil based, spirit based and water based. It is only used after removing the dust. It comes in three forms liquid, paste, and cream. Applying and rubbing an agent or reagent on a surface to make it shine is called as polishing. Usually brass, wood, silver and marble are the materials to be polished. While polishing the material may turn in to a different color like light black especially with brass. On wiping the brass again the particular color may vanish. More time is consumed during polishing since time should be given after applying it. Additional force is to be used to make the material shinier. And polishing has to be done very frequently to avoid the material from becoming dull in color.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">i.\u00a0<strong>Scrubbing: <\/strong>This makes the surface shinier but not on all surfaces. The main purpose of scrubbing is to remove unseen dirt completely. An additional kind of energy is required for scrubbing. Detergent or stain remover may be used along with water while scrubbing and it is not done very often unless the particular area looks too dirty.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">j.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Suction cleaning: <\/strong>Helps to pull or suck the airy dust by using electric appliances such as vacuum cleaner. Carpets, core tiles and walls are cleaned this way. Sometimes it is used to suck water from wet surfaces. The filter cloth which is used in the vacuum cleaner must be cleaned immediately after usage.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n9.\u00a0 <strong>Basic rules followed in cleaning procedures &amp; cleaning method<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">a.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to remove the stain without harming the surface.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">b.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stains should to be removed completely.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Simple methods and simple cleaning must be tried out first.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Start with a cleaner area and cleaner articles and then move on to the soiled area to prevent the spread of soil.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">e.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Before suction cleaning, sweeping has to be done.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">f.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sweeping should also be done before dusting.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cleaning agents and equipments should be stacked neatly to one side.

It starts from one corner of the room and ends at another corner and it can be taken out using the dust pan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">b.\u00a0<strong>Damp Dusting: <\/strong>Less amount of water taken in the cloth, squeezed well and dried little in the air is known as damp duster cloth. When wiping the major parts the dust will stick to the cloth and it should be done twice, at least to get a clear result. It is not applicable for all surfaces such as wooden, polished surfaces. Wetting the cloth is very important because it ensures the moist condition of the cloth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">c.\u00a0<strong>Dusting: <\/strong>Normally when we wipe a surface with a cloth it is known as dusting. It should be done with a clean soft cloth<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">d.<strong>Mopping: <\/strong>Wiping a surface is known as mopping. A material is coarser than a duster is used as a mop material. In this type of mopping both dust and dirt is removed. Basically mopping is done on the floor and there are many styles in doing so. Some dirt may come out easily but some may not. Additional force is to be used to remove thick dirt. In this process corners should be given special care to remove the dirt from it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">e.\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Box Sweeper<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">: These are also called as carpet sweepers and are used for sweeping up the dust from smooth flooring such as rugs and carpets. A box sweeper consists of a friction brush that rotates when the equipment is pushed manually over the carpet or floor. The dust gets collected into the built in dustpans.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">f.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Wall Brooming: <\/strong>These are ceiling brooms called Turk\u2019s head. These brooms are used to remove cobwebs from ceiling, and high ledges. It is used to clean the wall removing cobweb and to keep the area clean and tidy, the guest areas and the public areas are to be cleaned and kept tidy. These brooms are made of coconut fiber and are used for coarse surface, especially outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">g.\u00a0<strong>Washing: <\/strong>Hard broom with water used to remove dirt from different surfaces is called washing. Here washing agents with fragrance may be used to remove dirt. More quantity of detergent is added based on the toughness of the stain. Washing makes the surface clean and it ensures the hygiene. Materials used in this washing are brooms, bucket, brushes, etc. when compared to mopping, washing is not an easy way to remove the dirt but it makes the surface cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">h.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Polishing: <\/strong>Polishing does not clean but produce a shine by providing a smooth surface. It falls under 3 categories they are oil based, spirit based and water based. It is only used after removing the dust. It comes in three forms liquid, paste, and cream. Applying and rubbing an agent or reagent on a surface to make it shine is called as polishing. Usually brass, wood, silver and marble are the materials to be polished. While polishing the material may turn in to a different color like light black especially with brass. On wiping the brass again the particular color may vanish. More time is consumed during polishing since time should be given after applying it. Additional force is to be used to make the material shinier. And polishing has to be done very frequently to avoid the material from becoming dull in color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">i.\u00a0<strong>Scrubbing: <\/strong>This makes the surface shinier but not on all surfaces. The main purpose of scrubbing is to remove unseen dirt completely. An additional kind of energy is required for scrubbing. Detergent or stain remover may be used along with water while scrubbing and it is not done very often unless the particular area looks too dirty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">j.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Suction cleaning: <\/strong>Helps to pull or suck the airy dust by using electric appliances such as vacuum cleaner. Carpets, core tiles and walls are cleaned this way. Sometimes it is used to suck water from wet surfaces. The filter cloth which is used in the vacuum cleaner must be cleaned immediately after usage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>9.\u00a0 <strong>Basic rules followed in cleaning procedures &amp; cleaning method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">a.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to remove the stain without harming the surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">b.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stains should to be removed completely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Simple methods and simple cleaning must be tried out first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Start with a cleaner area and cleaner articles and then move on to the soiled area to prevent the spread of soil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">e.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Before suction cleaning, sweeping has to be done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">f.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sweeping should also be done before dusting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cleaning agents and equipments should be stacked neatly to one side.

Cleaning should proceed from high to low wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00d8 When cleaning an area start with the cleaner surfaces and articles then go on to clean more heavily soiled areas so as to prevent the spread of soil over to the cleaner surfaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00d8 While wet cleaning or polishing the floor, the cleaner should move backwards while cleaning in front of him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00d8 Suction cleaning should be preferred over sweeping wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00d8 Sweeping should be done before dusting and dusting before suction cleaning. \u00d8 Stains should be removed as soon as they occur.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00d8 The cleaner should take all safety precautions while cleaning.
