Toilet Cleaning SOP: A Step by Step Guide for Hygiene & Freshness

Introduction

Keeping toilets clean is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing infections. A well maintained washroom ensures a pleasant experience for users and upholds sanitation standards. This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) provides a structured approach for janitors to follow for daily and weekly toilet cleaning.

Objective

To establish a systematic and effective procedure for toilet cleaning, ensuring cleanliness, hygiene, and safety.

Responsibility

Janitors are responsible for executing this cleaning process efficiently and maintaining hygiene in toilets.

Toilet Cleaning Procedure

Daily Cleaning Steps

  1. Maintain Cleanliness Throughout the Day

    • Ensure toilets remain clean and dry with periodic cleaning.

  2. Flushing & Water Rinse

    • Flush all WCs and urinals in the morning.
    • Splash water inside the washbasins to remove initial dirt.

  3. Cleaning the WC (Toilet Bowl)

    • Use a WC brush to drain out excess water from the bowl.
    • Spray Taski R6 cleaner under the rim, inside the bowl, and around water outlets.
    • Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes to break down stains and dirt.
    • Scrub with a toilet brush and flush thoroughly.

  4. Cleaning Urinals

    • If the urinal waste drain is not metallic, spray Taski R6 and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, flush and scrub if needed.
    • If the urinal waste drain is metallic, use Taski R1 (diluted: 20 ml in 1 liter of water) and follow the same process.

  5. Cleaning Washbasins, Counters, and Fixtures

    • Spray Taski R1 (diluted) on washbasins, taps, and stainless steel (SS) fixtures.
    • Scrub with a soft nylon brush and rinse with water.
    • Wipe all surfaces dry with a clean cloth.

  6. Cleaning Mirrors & Glass Surfaces

    • Spray Taski R3 (diluted: 20 to 50 ml in 1 liter of water) on a clean cloth or sponge.
    • Wipe all glass surfaces and mirrors and dry them with a lint free cloth.

  7. Cleaning Walls & Floors

    • Mop hard floors with a wet mop using Taski R1 solution.
    • Spray Taski R1 on wall tiles and scrub with a nylon scrubber.
    • Dry mop the floors after cleaning to remove excess moisture.

  8. Restocking & Final Check

    • Refill soap dispensers, toilet roll holders, and waste bins.
    • Ensure no water spills, and all surfaces are completely dry.
    • Remove garbage and clean the waste bins.

Weekly Deep Cleaning Steps

Follow all daily cleaning steps and include the following:

  1. Ceiling & Light Fittings

    • Use a feather duster to clean moldings and light fixtures.
    • Clean ceiling mounted fittings as per standard procedures.

  2. Hard Water Stain & Dirt Removal

    • Spray Taski R9 (diluted: 50 to100 ml in 1 liter of water) on sinks, tubs, tiles, and SS fixtures.
    • Scrub gently to remove hard water stains and rinse with plain water.

  3. Deep Floor Cleaning

    • Scrub hard floors, marble, granite, and tiles thoroughly to remove deep seated stains.

  4. Final Inspection

    • Ensure all fixtures and surfaces are spotless and properly sanitized.

Safety Instructions

  • Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as per the safety chart.
  • Handle cleaning chemicals carefully and use them as per the recommended dilution ratios.
  • Avoid excessive water spills to prevent slips and falls.

Fire Extinguishers: Types, Operation & Best Uses for Fire Classes

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire. There are two operation types of fire extinguishers:  i. Stored pressure  ii. Cartridge operated  Stored Pressure  In stored pressure units, the expellant is stored in the same chamber as the fire fighting agent itself. Depending on the agent used, different propellants are used. With dry chemical extinguishers, nitrogen is typically used; water and foam extinguishers typically use air.  Cartridge Operated  Cartridge-operated extinguishers contain the expellant gas in a separate cartridge that is punctured prior to discharge, exposing the propellant to the extinguishing agent. This type is not as common, used primarily in areas such as industrial ...

Important components of a Diesel Engine - Turbocharger

Important components of a Diesel Engine Turbocharger A turbocharger can significantly increase an engine’s horsepower without adding significant weight. It enhances engine performance by forcing more air into the combustion chamber, enabling better fuel combustion. A turbocharger is made up of two main sections: The turbine and the compressor.  The turbine consists of the turbine wheel and the turbine housing.  It is the job of the turbine housing to guide the exhaust gas into the turbine wheel. The energy from the exhaust gas turns the turbine wheel, and the gas then exits the turbine housing through an exhaust outlet area. The compressor also consists of two parts: the compressor wheel and the compressor housing.  The compressor’s mode of action is opposite that of the turbine. The compressor wheel is attached to the turbine by a forged steel shaft, and as the turbine turns the compressor wheel, the high-velocity spinning draws in air and c...

Sewage Treatment Plant - Filter Feed Pumps Types and Operation And Maintenance Considerations

FILTER FEED PUMPS Filter Feed Pumps are used to draw water from the clarified water sump and pass it through the Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) and Activated Carbon Filter (ACF), which are installed in series to improve water quality. PRESSURE SAND FILTER (PSF) Working Principle: The upper layers of sand perform the actual filtration function, while gravel layers provide physical support. Specialized sand with a specific particle size is used to trap solid impurities present in water. The particles get entrapped in the spaces between sand grains, eventually blocking water flow. When the pressure drops beyond a set limit, the sand is cleaned by backwashing with water. Backwashing reverses the flow, fluidizing the sand bed and removing lighter solid particles as waste. Operation And Maintenance Considerations Filtration is followed by a short backwash sequence. The filter requires backwashing when the pressure drop across the filter reaches 0.5 kg/cm². Best practice: Backwash once per shift,...
