working from high to low, look all the way to the ceiling each
time you advance to check for cobwebs. When you see a
cobweb, grab your feather duster or microfiber duster from your
back pocket, knock down the cobweb, replace the duster, and
proceed. If you can't reach the cobweb, it’s likely not a
Maintenance/PMC job. Check with your supervisor.
You're now ready to pass a doorway in our sample kitchen.
Another place to check for cobwebs as you pass by is the top of
the door frame. Did you also check for fingerprints where people
(especially very little people) seem to grab the door frame as
they pass through? Good.
Open Shelves
Next are some shelves used to
store cookbooks, pots and pans,
and other kitchen stuff. Hit at the
leading edges of these shelves
with your feather or microfiber
duster only. This, once again, is
the correct way to clean when
doing Maintenance/PMC,
because removing all the items
from a shelf, dusting it and
replacing it is often Spring Cleaning rather than Maintenance
Cleaning. Ask. To clean a shelf, move all items to the right side
(lifting as necessary to avoid scratching!) and clean the left side,
then move everything to the left side and repeat. Finally,
redistribute the items as they were. Or, if there are too many
things on the shelf move just enough items to the floor or
counter so there is space to move the remaining items. When
moving items to the floor or counter, move them the least
distance possible, being very careful not to scratch the shelf or
the floor.
Refrigerator—Outside
Wipe the top first. Once you are cleaning this room on a regular
basis, you may be able just to feather-dust the top, which takes
only a second or two.
