COVID-19 cleaning?

[BRCHECKUPREMINDR]

idk if anyone else has this happening but the person doing the cleaning shift literally just wipes lockers and doorknobs down with a microfiber cloth. a few weeks ago it was disinfectant bottle and paper towel, which was good. microfiber towels do not delete the virus as far as i know.

 

[sunnydays]

uh yeah that would probably be an instant coaching at my store

i talked to the dude and apparently that is what he was instructed to do

We have a full on cleaning cart with everything we'd need, checklist, etc. I was blown away when I walked into another store in my district (as a guest, not working) and saw what you're talking about. The girl was literally just walking around with a microfiber towel and wiping handles - not a cleaning cart or cleaning product in sight.

 

[IWishIKnew]

Yeah, we have a cart, too. Two, at least, as we have cart cleaners stationed at each entrance. There might be a third cleaner, too, at times (or the cart cleaners have periods when they go and clean stuff in the TSC and stuff on the floor).

We were told it was becoming too expensive to keep using paper towels, hence the microfiber. Now apparently the disinfectant has become too expensive too but we still need to keep up our Hyacinth Bucket type appearances. Either that or the store simply ran out.

It's nice to see some appreciation for England's "Keeping Up Appearances."

I have been know to answer the phone sometimes in my best Hyacinth voice: "Bouquet residence lady of the house speaking!" Modern day Karens have nothing on Hyacinth.

It is one of my favorite shows. Top Gear being #1. I will just say there are selfies with me and the Hilux they tried to destroy.

Well I will have to start a 'Best of British Tele' thread. That would be 'Such Fun!'

Our cleaners use microfiber cloths with the disinfectant spray (instead of paper towels like when this thing started), but the cloths are laundered on some kind of schedule.
And how is it that disinfectant spray is "too expensive"? Guests at my store have mentioned to me (and I'm not a cleaner) that they appreciate seeing our cleaners wiping down high-touch surfaces. So guests do notice which area stores and other businesses are doing what they're supposed to do to reopen and keep customers safe.
That said, I noticed today that the GATM directing guests to self checkouts today wasn't cleaning them after each guest like what was being done yesterday. That makes me wonder if cleaning protocols are being relaxed? Hope not, because my county is experiencing a spike in cases because a bunch of 20-somethings had a night out at a bar with no masks and no social distancing. Yippee.

 

[sunnydays]

they did relax sco protocols, we are not following that direction in my store lol

 

[Captain Orca]

Go to the cleaning aisle, mops and shit like that. Grab an empty atomizer bottle, fill 3/4 with water, 1/4 91% isopropyl alcohol 1/4 bleach. Easy as shit

 

[Captain Orca]

Edit: delete the alcohol the bleach should be enough.

The op deleted their account

 

[BullseyeBabe]

SCO protocols were relaxed. TMs no longer need to wipe down SCOs between every guest. New directive is to wipe them down every 20 minutes. They want my NPS to tank. Sigh...

Where is the information about changing from paper towels to microfiber cloths for cleaning? I knew we were to use the microfiber ones to clean the plexiglass.

there isnt those stores just cheap as shit

 

[flow4areasonuno]

At my store you're told if you're on cleaning that if you don't see paper towels, or can't get them, use the microfiber towels. You're also told to absolutely not throw them away as they're rented and the store will be charged

 

[sunnydays]

thats perfectly fair, but if you have paper towels they should be used first

Hello everyone! Is your multi surface cleaner blue or clear at your store? I have been noticing that some stores, the bottle is clear. Was wondering if ecolab changed it and if it is suppose to still be blue or not. Thank you in advance!

 

[sunnydays]

it should be blue

 

[Kvothe]

There was a message in MyDay about switching to a new formula that disinfects in 1 minute as opposed to 5 minutes. Perhaps, the new formulation is clear.

 

[redeye58]

Glance, a glass cleaner was blue.
The newer formula is a multi-surface cleaner & it's a lighter shade of blue.
