your lined apron pocket and dip a clean one in the cleaning
solution in the sink. Repeat as necessary. This is the secret to
successful cleaning of floors with any kind of mop. You must
get a new Sh-Wipe or rinse any type of mop before the mop gets
dry and dirty. Once the mop is dry and dirty, all you’re doing is
spreading the dirt around the floor instead of actually removing
it. Make as many trips to replace the Sh-Wipe as necessary to get
the floor clean.
As with other surfaces, different degrees of cleaning are called
for: the dirtier areas of the floor in front of the stove, refrigerator,
and sink require more scrubbing than less-traveled areas. As
you're mopping, be prepared to use your scraper to loosen
mystery globs on the floor. Use the white pad to remove smears
and heel marks.
Since you don't rinse the soiled Sh-Wipes in the sink, the water
stays perfectly clean. This means that a bucket is unnecessary.
When you pass the sink for the last time, let the water drain,
rinse the sink, and dry the chrome if necessary. Mop your way
out of the kitchen. Put the soiled terry cloth covers with the dirty
cleaning cloths.
YOU'RE FINISHED!
If you're working alone, it's time to start
the bathroom. If you're working in a
team of two, report to your partner if
he/she has finished the bathroom and
begun dusting. If you have finished the
kitchen first, then you start the dusting
and give your partner a secondary
assignment when your partner finishes
the bathroom. (See Chapter 9, Team Cleaning.) If you're working
in a team of three, go see the team leader.
