Floor Mat Cleaning (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BookDragon1996
So keeping in mind that I'm usually only opening shift and have only closed a hand full of times.

What do yall do to clean floor mats? I haven't seen my closers clean them. Normally I would think to put them in a mop sink and hose them down but ours isn't big enough to do that and doing them in the regular sink doesn't seem like a good idea.

No judgement just curious.

our store usually mops them down, front to back

My store cleans them daily, it’s varies on barista. Some use super hot water from the coffee brewer and mix it in a sanitizer bucket with soapy water from the mop sink. Others will bleach them. We bring them outside and have a specific broom length scrubber to clean them and let them dry, however because it’s so cold here we do the same thing just in our back room

Edit, we wash the sanitizer buckets every night too

Ok im pretty sure I've seen the scrubber you're talking about but that makes a lot of sense.

I'm not to sure, it's not something that's done during closing though. That's a clean play thing.

The issue is when stores need to clean them outside. It’s too dark during clean play to do that. My SM will randomly use non cov for people to clean them mid afternoon. They get taken outside and hosed down and scrubbed.

Gotcha that's one of the things I was thinking 🤔

at my store we use restroom cleaner and a yellow scrub brush. we do mats when we do floors, so after scrubbing i’ll use the mop to clean the mat sludge…flip and repeat (but i’m the only one that doesn’t do both sides 💀)

Mats have to only be swept daily but deep cleaned during clean play— but what I do is I spray restroom cleaner on them and pour some water on it and use our extra big broom thing the one with the thick bristles to scrub it and then I flip it and do underneath then I rinse until the water runs clear

We clean them just by mopping over the mats after mopping the floor

What I do is I spray restroom cleaner and pour some blue soap on them using a mocha drizzle bottle. I’ll stack them and let those liquids set while I mop/ sweep and once I finish I’ll use the yellow brush to go over them then use a clean mop to clean off any extra soap. It seems to get off everything! Especially fruit that’s been squished down

We simply don’t clean ours.
