Although; your group home may have supplies to keep it clean, but some supplies don’t work what you expected to do so. For this instance, traditional mops grow bacteria, and used mop water in buckets waste water without actually knowing it. Although; we use these traditional supplies, but these supplies claimed to clean our homes, but they leave mess that requires you to use TOXIC chemicals that are bad for your health. I’ll be covering real stories about these group homes what I’ve encountered as I migrate from Hill City to Salina in Kansas. And you won’t forget a story about a machine what I’ve used to blast steam to clean a bathroom last week.
In Hill City
Although; i’ve been to a group home in Prout Street, but I won’t disclose an exact location. If you are a current customer, you won’t expect these bathrooms that are sanitized what you’ve expected. Even if you’ve disinfected these bathrooms; fecal matter, and other matter is still present. Mopping floors with a traditional mop spreads it around. Mops aren’t true cleaning supplies at this time. If you ever taken your mop to a lab for testing, you can be shocked because, bacteria on it! This traditional mop isn’t sanitary at all because of the following:
- As you mop the floor; you recreate dirty parts of your cleaning. Your shoes transmit dirt, bacteria, and hare as you walk around. A mop can gather as many bacteria, almost as dirty as most airline trays.
- Your floor is still dirty after you mopped it, even if you use cleaning agents. Most cleaning agents claimed to clean surfaces, but that’s not true cleaning. True cleaning relies on modern techniques like blasting steam with a machine, or using a special cleaner that only use steam to sanitize surfaces.
- Mops in dirty water are dirty by default.
- Buckets of dirty water is wasting water. A place where infected mosquitos are born!
High usage of toxic chemicals can lead to serious effects that can cause your health to be worse than you thought. Common cleaning supplies what we use are sprays that can release fumes, and other toxic chemicals that can be bad for your body. Typically, residential homes possess these items,–after bought from stores. These cheap products don’t do any good for you, our planet, and your wallet. I’m familiar with oven and grill cleaners, bathroom cleaners, spray-based carpet cleaners, etc. These supplies have warning labels, and it has a message: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, and that’s what many parents around the US and other countries don’t understand. These chemicals what group homes use often lock them in secure storage rooms, and cabinets.
If you were currently getting ready for a shower; but you prefer to take a bath;… this shower isn’t clean at all! These chemicals leave these items behind. Although; 2 showers upstairs are most likely to be extremely dirty because of the following factors:
- Fecal matter is all over the floor – this is a serious factor that lead someone to be very ill.
- Lack of proper cleaning techniques – that can miss many spots.
- Incorrect purchasing decisions – This is a problem for this group home in Hill City. However; purchasing cheap items that can break too soon can lead to serious problems like replacing items with a short term. These cleaning supplies that aren’t used can lead to lack of storage space, and even pollution.
Salina Group Home
Now, I’ve migrated to my new location in Salina, and I decided to start cleaning on 3/8/20,; I used a Shark steamer to steam the floors, and clean 1 bathroom shower, reducing 1 person’s effort to do tasks. I’ve quickly learned how to use this device, and I was finally doing my job. That enables me to clean tile walls and a shower stall. A shower stall floor was extremely dirty, and I’ve managed to get all of the junk out. Steam is so powerful; it can really kill off bacteria what we combat everyday. However; mop and bucket is still used for some reason. A mop and bucket supposed to be obsolete because, traditional mops don’t work, and why a steamer should be a proper choice is the following factors:
- Steam cleaners are sanitary, and they don’t need chemicals, and you don’t need to waste money on these products.
- Water is an only product to use.
- No buckets and dirty water!
- No mops to maintain.
- Cleans just about anything to virtually restore vents, windows, doors, sinks, floors, drains, furniture, appliances, etc.
Even after you steamed with a steam cleaner; you still needed to disinfect all parts of your home. This is necessary to keep viruses and bugs at bay,–especially the coronavirus!
What You Should Do?
- Convince your group home to use modern cleaning techniques like a steam cleaner to steam clean all parts of a group home.
- Convince your staff to eliminate mops and buckets to help cut water usage.
- If steam cleaning by default; convince your staff to disinfect the entire home.
- Convince your staff to eliminate purchases of toxic chemicals.
- Watch/read news about efforts to keep viruses at bay, you can use The New York Times, or any other online news provider, and searching for a “Health” category, or something similar.
- Limit meat-eating privileges or eliminate meat products from your group home.
- Use disinfecting products on a regular basis.
- Convince your neighbors to implement efforts to prevent other group homes from spending money on harsh chemicals that don’t do any good!
