1. Clean the floors:
Floors should be swept and mopped regularly to help reduce dirt, dust, pollen, and other allergens. Mops and cleaning agents should be changed frequently to avoid cross-contamination. After sweeping or vacuuming, use a damp mop to pick up dirt and grime, paying extra attention to corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas. For added protection, use a disinfecting cleaner on a damp mop after sweeping or vacuuming.
2. Disinfect surfaces:
Frequently touched surfaces should be wiped with antibacterial wipes or an appropriate sanitizing cleaner. This includes counters, door handles, arm rests for chairs, sinks and taps in the bathroom, etc. It is important to wash hands after wiping down these surfaces to avoid contamination with bacteria or germs that may have been left behind.
3. Empty the waste bins and dispose of all rubbish:
Waste bins must be emptied regularly and any rubbish disposed of safely in designated areas away from the salon area.
4. Vacuum carpets and furniture:
Carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed regularly to remove dirt and dust particles. Pay extra attention to areas with heavy traffic or those that have been exposed to spills.
5. Mop any hard floors:
Hard floors such as tile or linoleum should be mopped regularly with a damp mop and appropriate cleaning agents. Be sure to pay extra attention to corners, baseboards, and other hard-to-reach areas while mopping. Change the water frequently to avoid cross contamination between rooms or surfaces.
6. Dust surfaces:
Dust can accumulate quickly on surfaces such as window sills, desks, and shelves. Dusting should be done regularly to reduce the amount of allergens in the air, as well as to keep surfaces looking clean.
7. Clean mirrors and windows:
Mirrors and windows should be washed with a glass cleaner or a mild detergent solution at least once a week. Pay extra attention to areas around window frames, blinds, and curtains which tend to accumulate dust quickly.
8. Sanitize wash basins and other fixtures:
Regularly sanitize items like wash basins, toilets, showers, taps, knobs, etc., with an appropriate cleaning agent or disinfectant product to help prevent the spread of germs or bacteria.
9. Change the water in vases:
Water in vases should be changed regularly to prevent the growth of mold, bacteria, or other unwanted organisms.
10. Wipe down chairs, cabinets or other furniture with a damp cloth:
Furniture such as chairs and cabinets should be wiped down with a damp cloth at least once a week to help reduce dust and grime that can accumulate on surfaces.
11. Take out the trash regularly:
Trash should be taken out regularly and disposed of properly away from the salon area. This helps keep odors under control and prevents pests from entering the premises.
12. Disinfect equipment such as scissors and combs after each use:
Scissors and combs should be disinfected after each use to prevent the spread of germs or bacteria.
13. Wash towels and linens regularly:
Towels and linens used in the salon should be washed with an appropriate detergent at least once a week. This helps reduce the risk of spreading germs or bacteria between customers.
14. Clean up spills immediately:
Spills should always be cleaned up immediately to avoid any potential hazards for customers or staff members. Be sure to use the proper cleaning products for different types of spills (e.g., oil-based, water-based, etc.).
15. Keep a supply of cleaning products on hand at all times:
It is important to have a supply of cleaning products on hand at all times for use in daily maintenance tasks and for any unexpected spills or messes. This ensures that the salon remains clean, safe, and sanitary for customers and staff alike.
