1. Use either a pre-wetted mop cover or a dry mop cover wetted with an appropriate cleaning agent.
2. Slip the mop cover onto the mop.
3. For cleaning walls, clean from the top down.

• Move from clean or dry areas to dirty or wet areas.
• Use linear overlapping strokes, from top to bottom.
• Change the mop cover every 25 cleaning steps –or more frequently if the wall is very dirty. A cleaning step is the cleaning of one mop width of a wall section, from top to bottom.

1. For cleaning floors, clean in small rectangular sections.

• Move from clean or dry areas to dirty or wet areas.
• Use linear overlapping strokes to minimize recontamination of mopped areas.
• Mop doorways or high-traffic areas last as they are likely to be the dirtiest.
• Doorways or high-traffic areas may need more frequent mopping or special attention to remove visible contamination.
• Change the mop cover after 100 square feet (9.3 square meters) of floor surface has been mopped – or more frequently if the floor is very dirty.

1. Damp mopping is more effective than dry in removing contamination.
2. Place dirty mop covers in a bag for disposal.
3. Follow relevant site protocol (procedures for safety, contamination, etc.).
