Where do you put your dirty cleaning water?
Mop buckets, carpet cleaning machines, oven cleaning water and even body fluids.
Do you know where they should go?
Because that drain at the side of the road might look like the obvious place, but did you know it could lead straight into a river or stream without any treatment?
And yes, a lot of everyday cleaning wastewater can go down a toilet connected to the foul sewer, provided the discharge is permitted.
But not everything!
I’ve put together this carousel to explain what can usually go where, and when you need to be a little more careful.
It’s something every cleaning business owner should understand, and make sure their team understands too.
Save this one and share it with your cleaners.
