A bucket of bleach solution is needed to mop the floor during the day.<br />

First thing each morning, prepare a bucket of disinfectant solution by<br />

mixing in the bucket: 1 cup of bleach to 3 gallons of hot water.<br />

Step 3: Wash Hands and Wear Proper Attire<br />

Wear the proper attire. Put a pollen mask, rubber apron, rubber<br />

gloves, and safety glasses on before entering the laboratory wash<br />

room.<br />

Some people choose not to wear rubber gloves during processing, due to<br />

sensitivity. If you do not wear gloves, then be sure to wash your hands before,<br />

during, and after sample washing. Wash your hands at the end of one<br />

collection and before starting a different collection.<br />
