Floor Cleaning
Regular cleaning and care will prolong the life of floor covering and improve the gen-
eral appearance. Floor coverings should be swept daily and mopped weekly with a
mild detergent and water. Do not use floor sweeping compounds. Be sure to remove
dirt, pencils, paper, and any other debris that may cause the emergency door to seal
improperly. Do not use harsh detergents or excessive amounts of water. Do not use a
water hose to wash out the bus. Deterioration and damage to the wood floor could
occur.
[CAUTION] Petroleum products, such as oil and grease, quickly deterio-
rate the floor covering. These types of products should be removed from the
surface as soon as possible. Continuous care must be exercised in the stepwell
area, where foreign objects can create a safety hazard. The accumulation of
dirt and foreign material in the stepwell area creates a hazard for passengers
and could prevent the doors from operating properly. Ensure that screws for
floor trims and aisle trims are seated tightly.
