    You should dry mop the store floor every day before cleaning the store with any cleaning chemical?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Dry mopping the store floor before cleaning with any cleaning chemical is important because it helps remove loose dirt, dust, and debris. This ensures that the floor is properly prepared for the cleaning process and allows the cleaning chemical to work more effectively. Dry mopping also helps prevent the dirt from spreading or smearing when the cleaning chemical is applied. Therefore, it is recommended to dry mop the store floor every day before using any cleaning chemical.

    If your burnishing pad is leaving scratches on the floor, what should you immediately do?

    • Stop and visually inspect for particles in the pad

    • Flip the pad to a clean side

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    If your burnishing pad is leaving scratches on the floor, you should immediately stop and visually inspect for particles in the pad. This will help identify if there are any debris or foreign objects stuck in the pad that may be causing the scratches. If particles are found, they should be removed before continuing. Additionally, flipping the pad to a clean side can be done to prevent further scratching. If both sides of the pad are worn and dirty, it is recommended to replace it with a new pad to ensure a smooth and scratch-free floor.

    You should only use finish mops when applying floor finish, not regular mops.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Finish mops are specifically designed for applying floor finish. They have a different construction and material compared to regular mops, which allows for better application and distribution of the finish. Regular mops may not be as effective in applying the finish evenly and may leave streaks or uneven coverage. Therefore, it is recommended to use finish mops for applying floor finish to achieve the best results.

    When applying finish, if pouring, you should not pour more than what amount of finish at one time?

    • One quarter of the aisle

    • One thirds of the aisle

    • One half the aisle

    • The entire aisle

    Correct Answer
    A. One quarter of the aisle
    Explanation
    When applying finish, it is not recommended to pour more than one quarter of the aisle at one time. Pouring more than this amount can lead to an uneven application of the finish, resulting in an inconsistent finish appearance. It is important to pour a manageable amount of finish to ensure that it can be spread evenly and smoothly across the surface. Pouring too much at once can also make it difficult to control the application and may result in wastage of the finish.

    How many total coats of finish is recommended on the floors after the floors have been stripped?

    • 2 Coats

    • 4 Coats

    • 6 Coats

    • 8 Coats

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 Coats
    Explanation
    The recommended number of coats of finish on the floors after they have been stripped is 8. This is likely because applying multiple coats of finish helps to build up a strong and durable protective layer on the floors. The more coats applied, the better the floors will be protected against wear and tear, spills, and other potential damage. Additionally, multiple coats of finish can enhance the appearance of the floors by providing a smoother and more polished finish.
