1. Disinfect Tables
Tables in a seamstress shop can get dusty and harbour unwanted germs. To prevent your fabrics from getting dirty, you should clean your tables before using them. Simply fill a 500ml Zoflora spray bottle with cold water and add two caps of Zoflora concentrate.
Spray the surface of your tables and leave the product to work its disinfecting magic. Then take a soft microfiber cloth and wipe the surface thoroughly.
2. Wipe Down Sewing Machines
Sewing machines are a bit more delicate so it’s not wise to spray Zoflora directly onto your equipment. Simply spray Zoflora directly onto your cloth and use it to wipe down your sewing machine to remove germs and dirt. Make sure you wipe buttons and dials too.
3. Clean Your Fitting Mirror
Seamstresses and patternmakers usually have a long mirror in their shops. This is so customers can have a full view of what their outfits look like. You don’t want your mirror to be mirky. Keep it clean by spraying Zoflora onto the surface and wiping it down with a clean cloth.
4. Disinfect All Your Tools
Tools such as scissors, rulers, pens, and sewing needles can all harbour bacteria and germs. It’s important for seamstresses and patternmakers to disinfect their tools regularly. Simply spray Zoflora onto your tools and leave them to dry before using them. Zoflora kills 99.9% of all germs on any surface so your tools will be bacteria-free after spraying them.
5. Make Sure Your Floors are Clean
You and your customers have thousands of bacteria, germs and even faecal matter living on the bottom of your shoes. These microorganisms are treaded onto your floors when customers walk into your shop.
To clean your floors, add two caps of Zoflora to a bucket of cold water. Swish your mop into the solution, wring it out and then mop your floors thoroughly.
The Zoflora solution will remove dirt, grime, and bacteria with every swoop of your mop. Wash your floors with Zoflora once every two days.
Final Thoughts
Seamstresses and patternmakers don’t always realise that their working area can be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Customers can transfer germs inside your shop especially if they don’t wash their hands. Spray Zoflora on chairs in your waiting area to kill germs.
