To ensure food safety and quality, cleaning equipment must still be properly cared for and cleansed independently of the quantity of soap and cleaning solutions used on them. In actuality, if cleaning instruments are not properly maintained, they can harbour dirt, bacteria, debris, and odours. Every time you use a dirty mop, it will just redeposit dirt or shift it around. Additionally, the longer the tools are kept up, the better they will work (and the less you need to spend on buying replacements). Here are a few simple methods for cleaning your cleaning supplies. When you hire a reputed cleaning company, they will come with clean, upgraded equipment that will leave your house spotless.

Keeping Cleaning Equipment Clean

Brooms

Your broom will stay in shape if you hang it on a wall or store it upside down. Brushes with bristles that are spread should be immersed in warm water for 30 seconds. After that, hang the broom for a day or two by securing the bottom with a rubber band. The bristles’ shape will be restored after the band is taken off. Use a front stoop or a deck step as a stiff edge to rub the bristles clean.

Scrub Brushes

After each use, rinse your scrub brushes. Hold them under warm, running water to wash any leftover dirt or food after cleaning the dishes, the tub, or the sink. After each usage, let your brushes air dry to prevent mildew and bacterial growth that could happen if you put them in a drawer or cabinet while they’re still damp. At least once a month, wash your scrub brushes more thoroughly in hot water with detergent.

Cleaning Cloths

You can wash everything in the laundry on the hottest cycle, including regular clothes, rags, old shirts and towels, cotton cleaning cloths, etc. To brighten and deodorise clothes, mix a small amount of baking soda (perhaps half a cup) into standard laundry detergent. Add a small amount of laundry detergent to the wash when cleaning these fabrics, then hang them to dry or dry them in the dryer on their own.

Mops

A mop must always be spotless because even a small amount of residual soil can cause a bad stench. This will also result in cleaner floors. After floor cleaning, thoroughly rinse the mophead in a pail of clean, hot (but not boiling) water. You can rinse the mophead in a utility sink if it is easily removable. Never clean anything in the kitchen sink, including mopheads or other cleaning supplies.

Dusters

Take your duster outside after you’ve finished dusting the house to give it a good shake. Dust and dirt particles will fly throughout this operation, so protect your eyes and nose. When it’s time for a thorough cleaning, combine warm water with a few drops of dish soap to make a cleaning solution. Dip your duster into the soapy liquid, then let it sit for a while. Take your duster out of the soapy solution, give it a gentle wring, and hang it to dry naturally.

Vacuum Cleaner

Before cleaning the vacuum, make sure it is unplugged. Use a moist cloth and mild detergent to clean the casing, hoses, and attachments once a month. Before putting the machine away after each usage, use the crevice tool or hose to vacuum the rug/floor attachment. Once each week, or more frequently as necessary, empty or replace the bags.
