City of Sunny Isles Beach | Invitation to Bid No. 15‐07‐01 22 Prior to being wet cleaned, the entire floor surface involved shall be dust mopped, except in small restrooms where dust mopping is obviously not required. A wet mop, mop bucket and wringer, scrub brush, floor squeegee and neutral detergent or germicidal disinfectant shall be used to remove all soil and non-permanent stains from the entire floor, baseboards, etc. When necessary, a cleaner degreaser must be used. The cleaning solution shall be applied to the entire floor area and allowed to remain for three to five minutes. Then the entire floor area shall be scrubbed with a scrub brush. In areas with floor drains, the floors shall then be squeegeed dry and then rinsed with clear water. In areas without a floor drain, the solution shall be picked up with a wet mop and mop bucket with wringer, and then rinsed with clear water. All accessible areas shall be wet cleaned. Chairs and trash receptacles, etc., shall be moved when necessary to mop underneath. After being cleaned, the floor shall have a uniform appearance with no streaks, swirl marks, detergent residue, or any evidence of soil. There shall be no splash marks or mop streaks on furniture, walls, baseboards, etc., or mop strands remaining in the area. F. Vacuum Traffic Area Use a carpet vacuum on all flat surfaces to collect surface soul and embedded grit from all areas accessible to the vacuum. Chairs and trash receptacles shall be tilted or moved when necessary to vacuum underneath. Additionally, as necessary to prevent any visible accumulation of soil or litter in carpeted areas inaccessible to the vacuum, a crevice tool and brush attachment shall be used. All surface litter such as paper clips, bits of paper, and staples shall be hand-picked from the carpeting and placed in a trash receptacle. Vacuuming must be done in a slow movement for a more thorough pickup. After the carpeted floor has been vacuumed, it shall be free of all visible litter, soil and embedded grit. G. Vacuum – Complete Complete vacuuming is to be done with a slow forward and back motion, overlapping areas to pick up as much matter from the carpeting as possible. Complete vacuuming includes moving chair mats and reaching underneath desks and work tables as far as possible without moving the desk and work tables. Areas in corners and behind doors must also be vacuumed, using a crevice tool or brush when necessary. When completed, the carpeting must be free of all visible matter, and mats and chairs must be returned to their proper location. H. Spot Carpet Use a damp cloth or sponge and regular carpet shampoo material. Do not wet the spot itself heavily and rub it back and forth across into the clean area of the carpet; rather, start with a cloth or sponge which is only moderately wet and rub it with a brushing action from the edge of the spot towards the center, so that the size of the spot is reduced rather than spread. 4.3 BATHROOM CARE (Unique to Wet Areas)
