    I remember my manager training me to sweep/mop. No need to sweep or scrub, just swirl the visible debris out of the way and when it reached the back door, make sure to fling that shit into the grass, LOL. Was it correct? Hell no! Did I get home in time to watch Robot Chicken? Absolutely! Priorities folks!

    • @BlakWiseCracker
      @BlakWiseCracker Před 5 lety +7

      dg8708, I just started doing that same mopping technique. Mop only and fling the dirt up against hallway wall and return to vacuum it up later. Going from room to room is way to much fuk’n work. It’s also a lot faster and you won’t be there and extra 2-3 hours vacuuming every damn room. Thus far 10 months no complaints. ✅✅🍻

    I just inherited an 18,000 square foot building working for my friends janitorial service. About 11,000 requires mopping. I divided three areas into zones. I will tackle one zone per weekend while doing the other regular maintenance on the building. Your video helped me get through the bigger, open areas. The last zone I have to move chairs out my way. But again, your tutorial helped me get it done faster. It helps to have a well-made mop head, not some cheapo version. Anywho. Thank you

    Pinch a 3M Scotch-Brite Scouring Pad in between the mop and the handle where it screws down on to it. That way if you have to scrub out a stubborn part, all you need to do is push the pad down on to it. Learned that trick working as a janitor as a HS during graduate school.

  • @mercarelli7517
    @mercarelli7517 Před 28 dny +1

    I usually hit the baseboards first so as you mop you are removing the dirt off of the corners …So while your mopping it doesn’t interfere with building dirt on the sides or splashing anything on the walls.Then from there as you mop ,you turn the mop over every 4to 5 strokes so the side that was used can dry off ,while the other side can be used😉 Then dip and rinse til you have change the water if you have too

    I do both motions because I admittedly don't mop as often as I should. I do a back n forth "scrub" first for any dried-on sticky mess that may or may not be visible; then the side to side sweeping motion to "wipe" it all up. And of course I change the water and redo this at least once or twice. I know... If I mopped more often this wouldn't be necessary. 😅
