Productive Microbial Cleaning
Bill Dolch • December 21, 2024
Ten simple guidelines for productive microbial cleaning
First - Ban the Broom
As you sweep dust, spores and fragments of mold growth become airborne and then begin to settle again.
Second - Always Use a Properly Functioning True HEPA Vacuum Cleaner
Third - Vacuum From All Directions
When vacuuming carpets or area rugs it is important to vacuum from all possible directions.
Fourth - Remove and Empty the vacuum collection bag or canister outside
Every time the vacuum cleaner bag or collection canister is emptied inside the home some dust will become airborne and resettle back into that home.
Fifth - Check to see how much dirt is being missed when you vacuum
This check will help you learn how much vacuuming you need to do to be sufficient.
Sixth - HEPA Vacuum Before Performing Wet or Damp Cleaning
Any time visible dirt is present on a surface it should be thoroughly cleaned by HEPA vacuuming first.
Seventh - Clean Hard Surfaces with Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
Cleaning with typical rags or towels quickly begin to smear the dirt around on a surface rather than clean it well.
Eighth - Monitor How productively You have Cleaned Hard Surfaces
Repeat step seven and then look at the wipes.
Ninth - Use Common, Safe Household Products for Cleaning productively
Tenth - Avoid Dangerous Ineffective Products
