Commercial cleaning is a very important field, and it’s important to do it properly. There can be a lot of bad consequences that can come from improper cleaning. That is why it is so important for commercial cleaning companies to make sure that their employees are going through training. Commercial kitchen and restaurant cleaning is especially important to be trained in as a commercial cleaner. These two areas absolutely have to be clean; people are eating food at these places and contamination of the food they eat could be a total disaster. Bad things happen when employees either don’t care or aren’t properly trained! One such example comes from a recently uncovered situation in a large city.
A video was recently uncovered of a man committing a very gross and not allowed cleaning practice in a Subway restaurant. The man started off doing something very normal, mopping the floors. Floors need to be mopped regularly in these types of restaurants because they can get dirty very quickly. There is so much food that gets dropped on them that it can get very gross very fast. It’s very good that this man was taking the time to do his job properly and mop the floor. What wasn’t good was what came next in the video. After mopping up the dirty floor, the man proceeded to wipe off the counter tops with the same dirty mop.
As you can probably see, this is atrocious and is definitely not a good cleaning practice to have. By mopping the counters with dirty water, this man was exposing customers to dirt, bacteria, and other potential pathogens.
Luckily, as soon as the tape was uncovered, the man was fired from his position. Hopefully the Subway that was affected by this will be able to find someone who takes commercial cleaning a little bit more seriously.
