Section 6.0 — Trading Floor Cleaning Process

The trading floor is to be swept according to the specification for the site using a dust control mop.
Stickers should be removed using a scraper during the sweeping process.

Stock is to be separated from rubbish and placed on a flatbed trolley and placed in the agreed location.
Rubbish is to be placed in a clear plastic waste bag (provided by store).

 The floor is to be scrubbed daily using the Auto Scrubber Machine

(Refer to Equipment Usage/Maintenance section for correct operating procedure).

Please refer to the Cleaning Matrix for which sections are to be cleaned in relation to full and partial cleans.

A scraper should be used to remove any missed stickers from the floor during this process.
Steel wool should only be used very lightly to remove marks — as this process will remove the polish from the floor.
The centre of a buffing or scrubbing pad can be used to remove stubborn marks in aisles.

Mopping around fixtures:

• Place 40ml of Neutral Cleaner in a bucket and fill with warm water.

• Mop around all:

  • Checkouts

  • Service desks

  • Moveable objects such as guide dogs signage, security scanner advertising covers, gondola feet, and all corners and edges of the store.

Buffing the floor:

Once the floor is completely dry, buff the floor using the Gas Burnisher supplied.

• Ensure all areas are buffed including:

  • Entry

  • Registers

  • Trolley bay

  • Aisles according to the specification for the store.

(Refer to Equipment Usage/Maintenance section for correct operating procedure).

Buffing should be performed at a slow walking pace and PPE must be used at all times.
