Scrub
Stage 3
The third stage of a 5S implementation can be done after the Sorting or during the
Set-in-Order phases. Scrubbing is the cleaning portion of the implementation. It is
not intended to be an intensive clean; here are some areas of focus while cleaning:
◾ Cleaning and degreasing equipment
◾ Rell uids as needed
◾ Wipe down work surfaces
◾ Wipe out storage bins
◾ Wipe shelves and racks
◾ Clean tools
◾ Wipe down garbage cans
◾ Sweep and mop the oor

Cleaning the oor.
In many cases, it is good practice to paint equipment, tables, dollies, shelves,
and even the outside of garbage cans during the Scrubbing portion of the project.
It creates a showroom appearance and will also help make labels, stencils, and
other designations stand out.
