Clean up your Routine

Florists Review Tip of the week

Clean up your routine

With spring in full swing, it’s a great time to do a quick check-in on your care and handling and clean-up practices to ensure you’re keeping your product in tip-top shape.

Here are just a few questions to ask and action steps you can take when you have spare moments in your day:

 • Are you regularly cleaning your cooler windows and walls with Floralife DCD solution, including wiping down door seals.

 • Are you using white buckets for flower processing and storage – they make dirt easier to spot – and keeping them sanitized?

 • Are you measuring your flower-food solutions accurately? If you don’t have an automatic doser, ensure that your measuring devices are properly marked and used.

 • Are care and handling procedures posted and being followed by staff? Handy information to keep out includes proper cooler temperatures, flower food measurements, etc.

 • Are specific employees responsible for cleaning and checking cooler temperatures? Do you have a system to ensure tasks are completed as scheduled? A quick daily sign-off sheet can maintain accountability.
