A quick reminder, especially in larger commercial settings.
As we looked at the most common cleaning mistakes in 2021, one of them was essentially not reading product labels. When cleaning practices become routine, it’s important to pay attention to the basics. Make sure your staff is reading the label of each product used each time. Why? Because labels indicate:
How to use the product safely and effectively
When using any industrial-strength cleaners, ignoring directions will negatively impact cleaning performance. If you misuse the product you put staff and customers at risk.
Concentration/dilution information
We have seen cleaning personnel mistakenly using double or triple the necessary concentration levels for some cleaning products.
Any warnings or hazardous chemicals involved
Combining cleaning chemicals incorrectly can potentially be very dangerous.
Make sure to read the fine print.
Allergen info and Poison Control information
Know what to do, if, for example, a worker has a cleaning solution come into contact with an eye or some other situation. Or if there is pertinent allergen information, perhaps related to fragrances.
Commercial cleaning solutions involve a coordinated effort in terms of:
- Product selection
- Employee training
- Equipment & maintenance, and
- Cleaning procedures.
If there are any breaks in the chain, like in the case of not reading labels, the effort can fall short. Something often overlooked can put workers at risk, waste money on over-using cleaners, deteriorate equipment, and lead to ineffective cleaning. And oftentimes once the problem is discovered, it’s already too late and the damage has been done.
