Safe Operation and Maintenance Procedures for Cleaning Brushes

I. Safety Operation Standards

1. Personal Protection: Before operating the cleaning brush, it is mandatory to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including but not limited to work clothes, gloves, dust masks, and safety goggles, to prevent splashes of chemical cleaners or harm to the skin and eyes from hair, dust, and debris.
2. Environmental Inspection: Ensure that the working area is well-ventilated, away from fire sources, heat sources, and flammable and explosive materials. Check that the power cord is intact, without exposure or damage, and when using an electric brush, ensure that the power outlet is well grounded.
3. Understanding the Product: Read the instruction manual of the cleaning brush carefully before use to understand its scope of application, method of use, and limitations, ensuring that the selected brush type is suitable for the current cleaning task.
4. Professional Training: For complex or high-risk operations, such as using a high-pressure water gun with a brush for deep cleaning, operators should receive professional training to understand safety operation procedures and emergency handling measures.

II. Preparation Before Use

1. Inspect the Brush: Check for any damage, loosening, or loss of bristles on the brush, as well as whether the brush handle is sturdy and reliable. Replace damaged brushes in a timely manner to avoid breakage and injury during use.
2. Select the Cleaner: Choose the appropriate cleaner based on the cleaning object and ensure its compatibility with the brush material. Avoid using cleaners that have a corrosive effect on the brush.
3. Prepare Tools: Prepare other necessary cleaning tools, such as buckets, rags, protective mats, etc., and ensure they are in good condition.

III. Operational Precautions

1. Correct Holding: Operate the brush with a stable and non-slip grip to avoid hand injuries due to improper force.
2. Moderate Force: Adjust the amount of force according to the different cleaning objects to avoid damage to the brush or poor cleaning results due to excessive force.
3. Prevent Splashing: When using cleaners, control the spraying range to prevent cleaners from splashing onto non-target areas or personnel.
4. Pay Attention to Power Supply: If using an electric brush, ensure to plug and unplug the power cord with the power off to avoid the risk of electric shock.

IV. Post-Use Handling

1. Clean the Brush: Clean the brush with clean water or appropriate cleaner to remove residual stains, and dry it with a clean cloth.
2. Inspection and Maintenance: Check for wear or damage to the brush and repair or replace it when necessary. At the same time, perform simple daily maintenance on the electric brush, such as cleaning dust off the motor casing.
3. Store Tools: Neatly place the cleaning tools in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environments.

V. Storage and Maintenance

1. Dry Storage: Ensure that the brush is stored in a completely dry state to prevent mold or bacterial growth.
2. Avoid Mixing: Different types of brushes should be stored separately to avoid mutual contamination or damage.
3. Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the brush to identify and address potential issues promptly, extending its service life.
4. Professional Maintenance: For high-end or special-purpose cleaning brushes, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s advice for professional maintenance, such as applying anti-rust oil, replacing worn parts, etc.

By implementing the above procedures, the safe operation and good maintenance of cleaning brushes can be effectively ensured, improving work efficiency and reducing safety risks.
