Wall Cleaning
Three categories:• porous, non-porous, and semi porous--which
dictate how to clean the surface
• porous surfaces- are those who absorb moisture. they include latex paint, acoustical ceiling tiles, unsealed wood, and textured ceilings.
• nonporous surfaces- do not absorb moisture. they include enamel paint, sealed wood, metal, vinyl wallpaper, and plastic ceiling tiles. excess moisture must be wiped off these surfaces.
• semi porous surfaces include bricks and stone
![Page 35: Housekeeping Report--WALLS and WINDOWS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54674fe3af79596f338b545a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
STEPS
1. dust the walls. use a cloth or a long handled feather duster to remove dust and cobwebs from hard to reach areas. wipe other areas with damped cloth. move your way from top of the room down. If right handed, move clockwise around the area. if left handed, counterclockwise.
2. cover furniture and fixtures with tarp or other protective material before cleaning
3. ask the supervisor for the correct detergent to use
4. test an area before cleaning
5. use a ladder to reach high spots
6. report damaged walls to supervisor
![Page 36: Housekeeping Report--WALLS and WINDOWS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54674fe3af79596f338b545a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Window Cleaning1. remove all window coverings to facilitate the cleaning and to
avoid the possibility of spilling cleaning solution on the drapes and curtains
2. begin by applying the cleaning solution to the top of the window, working the dirt toward the center of the window from the outside edges. do not over wet the window and cause the excess solution to run and pool on the sill or floor.
3. before the window has a chance to dry, squeegee the window, starting at the top corner. make one pass across the glass and angle the blade so that the dirty solution runs down onto the dirty part of the window rather than back onto the cleaned portion, wipe the blade clean with the cloth after each pass of the blade.
4. finally, never attempt to clean the window in the hot sun. the sun will cause the window to dry before it can be squeegee, causing streaking.
![Page 37: Housekeeping Report--WALLS and WINDOWS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54674fe3af79596f338b545a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Window TreatmentWindow treatment can be divided into three categories:
• Drapery – should be vacuumed daily. dry cleaning is the preferred
method of restorative cleaning. Most experts agree that
dry-cleaned drapes will hold their shapes better than
laundered fabrics.
• Shades– their purpose is to provide a customized look to the window while affording privacy
to the guest
– should also be vacuumed daily. restorative cleaning methods will depend on the material composition of the shades
![Page 38: Housekeeping Report--WALLS and WINDOWS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061117/54674fe3af79596f338b545a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Blinds– include the mini- horizontal blind and the vertical blind.
– the verticals are much easier to maintain and provide greater control of glare and light into the room. cloth panels can even be inserted into some types of vertical blinds to add additional color and texture to the room
