Sponges, Cloths and Paper Towels Course
Learn how to use sponges, cloths, and paper towels safely to prevent damage and cross-contamination.
Sponges, Cloths & Paper Towels
Instructor: Angela Brown
Most cleaners use sponges, cloths, and paper towels every day.
But very few are trained in how to use them correctly.
Using the wrong cloth can scratch a surface.
Using the same cloth in multiple areas can cause cross-contamination.
Improper care shortens the life of microfiber and increases supply costs.
These aren’t small mistakes.
They affect client trust, surface integrity, and your bottom line.
Sponges, Cloths & Paper Towels teaches the hard-and-fast rules for selecting, using, caring for, and replacing the most common cleaning fabrics and tools.
Inside this course, you’ll learn:
-
How to clean effectively and responsibly without scratching surfaces

Who This Course Is NOT For
