Bucket / Bucket & Press	Bucket of cleaning solution is made up Cloth/mop is dipped into solution and wrung out Cloth/mop is used to clean surface and returned to bucket Cloth/mop used many times in different areas	Low: Strongest risk of cross contaminating Same cloth/mop used in many areas, passing contaminants between areas Dirt released from cloth/mop after use into bucket contaminating cleaning solution
Spray	Cloth/mop or surface directly sprayed with solution Surface wiped clean Next area sprayed and wiped clean Cloth/mop mostly used many times in different areas (but can be clean cloth/mop per room)	Medium: intermediate risk of cross contamination Spray bottle ensures no dirt released into cleaning solution used in next area Spray bottle/canister can become contaminated when emptying and refilling Often same cloth/mop used in many areas, passing contaminants between areas
