New job is great, but definitely different on both ends....

So that new factory job, first day went great, but its definitely going to be a learning curve, and I'll have to be patient. Turns out I am THE guy, and janitor is a new position with the company too....(they had someone coming in once every couple weeks) so I'm having to remember inventory to give to my production, and suffice to say most equipment is picked up at the general store.

My biggest hurdle is gonna be the mop heads. I'm sure yall have some suggestions because there's no laundry or anything. I'm used to changing out each day (but come from a place with a washer). If its a factory shop break room and restroom floor, how often should I be, i guess rinsing (maybe soaking with bleach water?) Before switching out or disposing? At the very least, I'm keeping regular mops and bathroom mops separate......

Also, I need to think about keeping a list of what products need to be used. Anyone got a template? Lol. I guess I finally became a custodial lead, in a slight sense....

I'll be starting a new janitoral job with much better pay and hours, and the company has good potential to go into a bigger career so I'm excited. Nervous jitters are normal, I've certainly never worked at the type of facility.

It's a manufacturing facility (i would say small factory area). It'll be a 4 day, 10 hour shift which of course involves working around people who are working on stuff. A bit of groundskeeping too.

I like the hours, though I'm still figuring out my sleep cycle, since it'll be the day shift. I'm looking forward to maybe being able to train into the manufacturing or maintenance positions in the future. I think I have finally landed a place that has actual growth opportunities. Glad to have pay enough to live a little too

Still, I'm curious if anyone else has some experience in factory/warehouse like facilities. What is there to expect?
