#Industrial Floor Scrubbing Machine

[weaselle]

it was too much i had to make my own post

line cook here. ACCURATE

if you don't get the hate, here's what you don't understand.

it takes up to 2 hours to close down the kitchen.

The last 60-90 minutes before closing time you do almost no cooking because the restaurant doesn't have many people in it and you've already cooked most of their diners.

So if someone walks in during, like, the last hour, the cook is in the middle of an industrial deep clean of the kitchen.

(these numbers can vary quite a bit from place to place but i have worked several restaurants with these actual times and the concept remains the same)

Say the place closes at 10. If you wait til the restaurant is already closed to start all your cleaning duties, you'll be there until at least midnight.

More than that your boss knows that on an average night you can start your clean up as soon as the last rush ends and get out of there around 10:45, even 10:15 on a slow night if you get lucky. That means there are plenty of restaurants where if you do take until midnight the manager is going to come up to you at some point that week and ask you what went wrong that night, and you'd better have an answer.

So this example restaurant closes at 10 pm. The dinner rush ends around 8:30, and shortly after that the cook is going to start getting every single dish possible over to the dishwasher because the dishwasher always gets hit hard and late, and the machine runs for 2 full minutes and only holds so many dishes, so the way that works out is if you wait an extra 30 minutes to give the dishwasher all your stuff it can mean adding like 60 minutes to the end of his shift. And you're gonna KEEP finding shit to send to the dishpit right up until you leave probably.

all these little square and rectangle containers in this cold table have to be pulled out and changed over into new containers, replaced by new full ones, or in some cases filled from larger containers in the back, which can result in even more empty containers to send to the dishwasher.

while it's all pulled apart to do this, you have to clean up all the spilled food and sauce and juices and stuff from the joints and ledges and shelves and drip trays

Once you get your line changed over in this way, and fully stocked, anytime someone orders something that makes use of a bunch of that stuff, you have to restock and re-clean it some. It might already be covered in plastic. Some of it might already be stuck in the back to make room to take apart your cutting board counter to clean. To cook a dish isn't TOO much of a problem at this point, but you're really hoping for zero orders because you still have so much other cleaning to do.

Meanwhile the salad bar and appetizer section and server station and everybody are all doing the same thing. Even the bartenders are stocking olives and lemons and sending back whisks and stir spoons and shakers and empty 4quart storage containers that used to hold the back-up lemons and olives and things. Every section is dumping their must-be-cleaneds to the dishpit as fast as possible because early and fast is the only thing they can do to to help that dishpit not absolutely drown into overtime.

The poor dishwasher is always the last to clock out, soaking wet and exhausted.

Around this time you probably scrub the flat top, which has turned black from cooked on grease and is still about 500 degrees. Line cooks are divided in opinion on water-based or oil based cleaning methods for this, but they all involve scrubbing with (usually) a brick of pumice stone using every ounce of your strength while you try not to burn yourself

you scrub it from fully blackened to gleaming silver and now if somebody orders something that needs the flat top to cook, you can either fuck up your cleaning job or fake it in a couple frying pans and pass that tiny fuck you down to your dishwasher (who usually understands, especially if you help them take the garbage out or clean your own floor drain later)

If there's deep fried stuff on the menu then the fryers have to be cleaned out, which includes straining the oil out into enormous and super-heavy pots full of oil so hot that if you spill on yourself then it's probably a hospital visit and if you slip and fall face first into it it'll be the last thing you ever do.

Then you gotta scrub out the fryer. Like you gotta take the (hot) screen out and reach your arm down into the weird rounded pipes and curved areas (so hot, burn you if you brush against them hot) and scrub off whatever is down there

Depending on your kitchen you might have to do up to four of these. Then you'll have to pour the (dangerously hot) oil back in

oh, and if you didn't dry the pipes and get ALL the water out of the trap and tank?

water reacts with hot oil in a sort of mentos and coke way that can send a tidal wave of oil past the open flame of the pilot light ...HUGE dangerous mess and/or burn down the kitchen if the oil lights up.

Unless! If the oil has been used too hard and needs to be changed, it's time to carry those open topped super heavy pots full of will-kill-you-hot oil and dump them in the barrel outside by the dumpsters so you can put room temp fresh oil in the fryers. whew!

The clean up is not just some light wiping down that can be easily interrupted, is what i'm saying.

You might have to do some kind of walk-in duty (moving around 50lb cases of lettuce and 50lb bags of onions to get to the stacks of five gallon buckets full of salad dressings and sauces to move so you can reach the giant metal pots and bus tubs full of prep and get it all organized and make sure it's all labeled and i have to stop now i'm having flashbacks)

THE POINT IS

by 15 or however many minutes to close, the line cook is doing an intense deep clean and probably has the whole stove taken apart to detail.

For some industrial stoves this means lifting off large cast iron plates that weigh like 20 lbs each and are still quite hot. Whatever metal burners are on there, you gotta take off and clean, you can see here the lines that indicate the large thick cast iron rectangles that sit on top of the burners to allow heavy pots to rest on. Those five (each has one front burner hole and one back burner hole, see?) have to be lifted off and cleaned with soap and a wire brush usually, and then the underneath area also has to be cleaned because a lot of shit falls through the burner holes on a busy night.

if you didn't do it when you did the flat top you have to do the grease trap (which can be like a full five minutes and is always disgusting).. You gotta clean out all the little gas jets in each burner with a wire or something so the burners all flame evenly, and sometimes you have to remove some of the natural gas piping that connects the burners to access where you have to clean.

you gotta clean out the bottom of the oven and the wire racks, and, oh gods, you gotta take down the filter vents from the hood fans above the stove.

See all the lined parts along the top of the wall?

those are hood vents, and as they pull air up they also pull a lot of grease and they have to be taken down and cleaned, then you gotta climb up there and scrub where they go before you put them back...

And then there's the mopping and floor drains and...

Anyway, that's what the line cook is doing when you walk in fifteen minutes before closing and order something that needs to be cooked on that stove. They are doing an entire industrial cleaning of a professional kitchen.

In some restaurants maybe one or two of these jobs will be every other night or even only twice a week, but in many, possibly most kitchens, ALL of these things happen EVERY night. You don't want to leave any food mess that might attract insects or rodents for one thing, so a really good kitchen is as close to brand new as you can get it every night.

IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ORDER SOMETHING ANYWAY, HERE IS WHAT TO DO

open with an apology and ask the server to go ask what the cook would prefer you to order.

Any good server will already know what the cook is hoping for and what will make their line cook go into the walk in and scream. If it's significantly less than an hour to close and they say some variant of "oh anything is fine" they are either telling the lie their boss wants them to say, or they actually do not know what their line cook wants, and you can either use human connection and a conspiratorial just-between-us tone to get them to drop the customer-is-always-right act, or get them to actually go ask the cook.

It might be as specific as "the lasagna is easiest on the kitchen" or it might be a simple guideline like "nothing that requires the flat top" or "any of the sautés are easy" but a good line cook will probably have a system for if they have to make a couple of the most popular items after they start their close, so the answer is likely to include something most people like and you should be good to order that.

but for the love of all that's holy, please only do so at great need. Leave that last 30-60 minutes to the truly desperate and the crew's duties.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY: chapter 6

as abe goes through a bit of an existential crisis, howler plays her 4d glukkon chess in her mind over everyone around her.

chapter cw for: sexual harrassment, mentions of sexual assault, substance abuse and sexual content

[first]|[prev]

Among the bent backs and shifty, downward cast eyes among the scrub stock, Howler held her head up high.

She ignored the wayward glances, the rubbernecking done by scrubs affected by the base, instinctual fascination that came with being exposed to a female the first time. If these workers were natural in any way, this would have led to drone-heat. They would never have the opportunity to become emergent drones in their lifetime, so their interest in Howler remained almost chaste in comparison. Too timid to approach with intent, too ignorant to know what that intent would even be.

Howler currently worked with a small team for one of the massive industrial grinders on the processing floor. A foul job with an understandably high death count. The workers looked out for each other there; making sure the meat they were shredding remained only animal meat. Bones caught in the machinery would often cause problems, but it was riskier to think you could reach in just in time to pull it out. Some of these muds had stubby or completely absent fingers to prove it. 

As soon as she arrived at her station, one of her co-workers slipped her a paramite pie, mumbling something about the ration paste being especially thin today. Of course, the only solid food to be found here were the rejected meat products swiped off the conveyor belt. Howler took it, and gave him a smile that made the mud blush deeply. A couple of his peers, not wanting to be overshadowed, offered their own tributes: another snack, a bottle of water, a cigarette that was noticeably withered from being passed around. 

Most of the scrubs that gave her ‘gifts’ probably had no idea why they wanted to in the first place. With their natural social instincts repressed, they never had a ‘queen’ to care for, until now. Regardless of whether Howler counted as one.

A brief fondle here, a coy touch there, a measured smile; Howler was used to having to do much more to get her way, before. These scrubs were almost too easy compared to the correctives, who already had a queen that was taken from them. Their instincts wouldn’t imprint on Howler, while she remained ‘unsettled’. Only settled queens were the ones laying eggs. The scrubs, of course, wouldn’t know the difference; their natural instincts and roles in a colony were just as disrupted as hers were.

But it was novel, indulging these enamored muds. She kept them at arm’s length, even when her own base instincts reared their head, and their attention felt almost a little too good. They were scrubs, but they also weren’t Glukkons, or Sligs, or Vykkers. They weren’t asking for a piece of her in return. So far.

Howler was careful to keep their hands from wandering, since they were the boys she spent the better part of a day with and they didn’t need to be getting bold. She established the no-touching boundary gently, at first, and firmly, the second time around. The third time would be something more permanent to remind them. A hand that so casually slipped a cigarette into her pocket quickly reached around to grab her ass, and she froze.

Before the worker could subtly turn away, Howler grabbed him by the wrist. The sudden movement was jarring; her touch wasn’t soft and inviting, like it was before. She dug her nails into his wrist, pulled him close, and grabbed his narrow neck. She held up the offending hand in front of his face accusingly.

The scrub went pale. “I-I uh, it- it was an accident, miss-”

Howler manhandled him, grabbing him by the overalls and pulling him closer to the machine. She didn’t need to have it turned on for it to make an overwhelmingly convincing argument, as she made sure to turn his head towards it to drive the threat home. The scrub struggled. A couple of his peers joined in not to save him, but to hold him still.

“I-I- I- I won’t do it again, I promise!!”

The tattooed woman huffed, and gave him a cold look. She nodded to another of her scrubs, and almost intuitively he pulled the lever that would kick the machinery to life. Did he promise? Howler, aided by her sycophants, bent him a little closer to the whirling blades. The Mudokon screamed, and just as his cries became loud enough to be heard over the machinery, she abruptly pulled him back.

The guilty scrub was hyperventilating, soaked through with sweat before the day had even begun. He looked at her with a fear that was usually reserved for their masters. Howler wasn’t his master, and she took steps to establish that; straightening out his shirt collar, wiping the sweat and/or tear stains from his cheek. A gentle touch that made his eyelids flutter despite his fear. He looked at her with a reestablished resolve, a newfound acknowledgment. An understanding that had been made between them.

Howler gave him a light pat on the shoulder, and clicked her tongue as she pointed to their usual stations at the machine. The scrub and his peers went back to work with renewed fervor.

The bottom line of this establishment was controlled by quota and productivity, so Howler made sure the muds around her didn’t falter from distraction. It kept the guards off her back. That, and the extra cigarettes she would slip the Slig that passed their workstation on his route. He pretended not to hear the commotion before; though when he passed, he gave the woman a knowing look behind his visor with a chuckle. She handed him all but one of her collected cigarettes, and he thanked her in passing with a much bolder swat on the behind.

Howler didn’t flinch, or react in any way. Whatever spark of rage it enkindled within her was snuffed out by years of learning how to keep composure, to retain control in whatever ways she still could. Let them touch her; let them make their petty power plays, and lord over her in their own insignificant domains. They were just men, and they were nothing.

When the first break of the day hit, Howler strolled past muds quickly trying to hit up the bathrooms and the water fountains with her unlit cigarette in her mouth. It wasn’t long before a scrub offered a light, rewarded by a cheeky wink that made him titter nervously. Howler stopped at a vantage point where she could look up the dizzying layers of zulag walkways and pipelines. Not towards an unseen moon, but towards the lofty, panoptic rows of windows that marked the office levels. The highest row with the tallest windows held the largest and most impressive office.

Howler took a long drag of her cigarette, and stared fixedly at that office. She imagined the Glukkon that was up there, though the glare of the factory lighting and the ever-present haze of industry hid him from view. She knew he was up there. Living his life. Conducting his business. Making his own power plays, lording over his own domain over all of them. Molluck, he was just a man. Any man can be killed, and that was the certainty that kept Howler going through more than enough days.

You are just a man. Howler’s breath felt like fire in her throat. The scar tissue around her voicebox stung, that ever-present lump in her throat reminding her of her enforced silence. You are just a man, and men can be killed.

She didn’t expect Abe to have some latent need for the kind of violent vengeance she held in her own heart. But he needed to hear those words, before Molluck could grind away at what was left of his. That kindness he extended to her, asking for nothing, refusing her body even when offered. A man she couldn’t bargain with, or seek leverage over.

Out of the three hundred or so Mudokons that worked in this hellhole, only one of them was unaffected by Howler’s charms. A rare mercy - and a source of aggravation - because usually her silence didn’t matter when she could communicate her intentions with her body. It wasn't even a matter of trading favors for her anymore; the more Abe rebuffed her, the more it stuck in her craw, and kept him on her mind. 

Abe, too, was just a man. Or rather, he was scrub stock - something made to work mindlessly, and exist simply as cogs in industrial machines. He wasn’t a cog, though, as much as he seemed to try to be. Howler would have persisted with her suspicion that he had been captured too, if he hadn’t admitted to not even knowing of the Mudokon Moon.

The concept of going a lifetime never seeing the night sky was a horror in itself; everything about the lives of these scrubs was horrific, and Howler would have to spend the remainder of her life in this hell. For however long that would last.

By the time Howler finished her cigarette, her scarred throat throbbed with pain. The agony reminded her she was alive, for now, and she would cling to that life for as long as she could. She had to. She survived this long for a reason, her pain had to have reason.

Howler flicked the cigarette to the ground and smashed it under a calloused heel. She made it two steps only to stop, remember Abe’s gentle admonishments in the past over littering, and pick it up again.

-

Quota and filled shifts were more important than the individuals fulfilling either, so Howler quickly figured out how to unload the bulk of her work onto anybody willing to take it. Just a sweet smile here, a careful grope there, and soon she had an extra lunch break courtesy of some very generous muds. 

There was an air of decline and desperation about this place. Product was dwindling, corners were being cut. They were putting correctives in factory uniforms - a decision that still baffled Howler, who thought she understood the reasoning of a business-minded Glukkon. If they were running out of product, why would they need more workers…

Howler was frankly so used to being called a ‘premium product’, she may as well have been bought for her meat. It would have been Molluck’s loss all the same; ever since she was shipped to this hole, the sparse diet of a scrub meant to live off scraps made her feel like she was wasting away. By the time they stuff her into a processor, she’ll probably be as skinny as Abe.

Entertaining the idea of being the next processed meat product was darkly humorous for one minute, and incredibly depressing the next. There were deeper connotations to the concept, and it tied into the prevalence of engineered worker stock and the dwindling reliance on corrective labor. As native Mudokon populations dwindled in central and western Mudos, the industrialists opted to simply breed their ideal workforce. Would it be so far-fetched to imagine meat stock Mudokons as well?

With how they treated scrubs, they may as well have been cattle. With how they milled about in their short lives of endless, unceasing work, they may as well have been livestock. Beasts of burden. Walking meat.

Surrounded by them, Howler struggled to see herself as more than just meat, herself. Well. a different kind of meat than these muds would be familiar with. Though with how her presence awakened their repressed desires and instincts, it wouldn’t be long before they sought more from her than a brief touch or a smile. The touch of the scrub from earlier still burned on her skin; though it had been a long time since she felt genuinely humiliated by unwanted advances. This time had been no different, but it would set an unfavorable precedent. These scrubs didn’t need to realize they could simply outnumber her, overpower her, take what they wanted from her.

It was a mercy that most of them would never really figure out what they wanted from her in the first place. Howler preferred to keep it that way.

There were some who did know what they wanted, of course. When Howler made her near-daily pilgrimage to the bar, the lanky bartender straightened up, snapping to attention. He squared his shoulders a little too consciously, and straightened out his hat.

“Heya toots- ah, Howler - what’s your poison of the day?”

Alf was… painfully drone-minded, though he lacked the aggression of a budding, virginal drone in heat. He was just horny. Howler could work with that, and she needed to, because there was no fucking way she was getting through the days in this hole sober.

It was easier when she could just sneak a few sips out of Kwalia’s liquor cabinet throughout the day. Here, she actually had to work for any sort of substance to lend her some brief respite, which frankly reminded her of old times. Times when she would paw off a guard through the fence, or be snuck around the back or to a storage closet. All for a lungbuster, or a hit of some cheap stimulants. Sometimes, even a genuine orgasm. Odd forbid.

Alf could only really provide one of these things, and it definitely wasn’t going to be an orgasm. But, there was a certain charm about him that Howler begrudgingly acknowledged; he was kind, and not because he was scared, and only a little bit because he was horny.

Howler pointed to the whizkey behind him, among the bottles meant for Sligs and any other ‘higher-ups’. The kind of stuff that Alf would surely be punished for serving her, had he not had a knack for doing things behind the backs of any of the more sober Slig clientele. He was doing this long before Howler had arrived, because he was sneaking in a few swigs throughout the day himself.

Alf confirmed the bottle she pointed to, and she nodded. He looked around to make sure the coast was clear before grabbing it and swiftly, cleanly pouring it into a shot glass, making sure to turn his back to the closer guards that were on break. He flinched when Howler rapped her knuckles on the table, and held up two fingers.

Alf hesitated from her inferred request. “Uh, how ‘bout I just give you one, and we’ll see how you feel then, huh? It’s a little early in the day n’ all-”

He flinched harder when she hit the surface of the bar with a warning slap. The bottle sloshed in his hand. “O-okay, okay!”

Howler watched him pour a second shot, quickly down half of it, and top it off again. He turned to her with a renewed zeal in what he was sure was his most charming smile.

“It’s on the house, of course. For a, ah, lovely lady such as yourself.”

Howler watched him wink with an entirely blank expression, and took a pull from one of her glasses as quickly as it was set down. She could then face him with a renewed zeal of her own. She gave him a smile that made his ears turn pink, and made him wring his tattooed hands.

Alf leaned over the bar as closely as he could, and as discreetly as he could; resting his chin in his hand as he looked nothing short of adoringly at her. “So, how’s the factory life workin’ out for ya? Sligs givin’ you a hard time? Are the boys at the grinders behavin’?”

Howler shrugged, and flicked her hand to downplay the very real anxieties still stirring around in her head. She finished her second glass to quell them; which had the fortuitous side effect of making one-sided smalltalk less excruciatingly awkward.

“Yknow,” Alf lowered his voice, “if ya need anything you can’t find in commissary, I know a guy who drops in from Feeco in shipping; he can getchya anything you need short of gettin’ the hell outta here. I can pull some strings.”

Yes, he would like that kind of leverage over her, wouldn’t he? Howler gave him a measured smirk devoid of warmth, and slowly shook her head.

Alf shrugged. “Ah, well, offer’s on the table.”

He was a good sport, for a man who acted inches away from droning out on her. As he went back to serving other patrons, he kept an eye on her when he thought she wouldn’t be staring right back. Catching him in the act and making him pretend to mind his own business was entertaining, for a while.

Howler glanced around the shabby little one-room establishment, and found herself disappointed that she hadn’t seen a glimpse of blue amongst the uniformly green scrubs, or heard the telltale squeak of a custodian’s caddy being wheeled in. She had come to rely on the moments where her and Abe’s differing schedules lined up - with no small amount of effort by Howler shifting around borrowed break slots.

It wasn’t just because he had a fairly good grasp on her methods of communication, or had a grounding lack of tolerance for Alf’s bullshit. He was also… well. It was just nice to be around someone who didn’t want to fuck her. It was nice to be around someone who was… safe.

She really, really wanted him to be safe.

His absence gnawed at her, and she was both not drunk enough and unwilling to get drunk enough to think any deeper on why that might be. She got Alf’s attention with a whistle, and drew an X over her mouth with her finger. Alf, familiar with the sign, shrugged unhelpfully.

“Abe? I dunno… you know him, he’s usually takin’ overtime cleaning the offices, or somethin’ like that.”

Howler, despite herself, felt her heart drop as she was reminded of exactly why he usually was called up to the offices. She burned through that sickly feeling in the pit of her stomach until it festered into hate for the Glukkon who no doubt ordered it.

“... Why do you ask?” Alf’s question cut through the boiling resentment within her. She glanced at him to find a more serious look on his face than she was accustomed to.

Howler sighed, not in the mood to deal with some drone stock’s petty jealousy. Alf still approached her, that spark of adoration in his eye gone.

“Y’know, I see how you look at him; I ain’t stupid. I’ll just tell ya right now: he ain’t interested in what you’re sellin’, ya get me?” He went so far as to poke her in the shoulder in a sort of veiled threat. “I don’t wanna see my best bud wrapped around your little finger, ‘cos I know you’re doin’ that to eeeevery other scrub in the factory. Including me. So,”

His serious look faltered, as he found that her expression remained unchanged. “Just… leave him be, alright? He’s not interested.”

Howler gave him a slow nod, and reached for the notepad in her pocket. Her response was simple, and to the point:

‘Thats y i lyk him.’

When Alf gave her note a tight-lipped frown, she grabbed him by the hand to make him acknowledge her affirming, promising nod to him. He still had a look that was almost judgmental; temporarily seeing through her, and the hormones that her presence had no doubt stirred in him. His love for his friend was stronger, and that conviction was a pleasant surprise. Howler agreed with him, though he would never learn the details as to why.

Alf’s eyes flicked automatically to the door when he heard it open, and his face lit up in recognition. “Aw, speak of the - there he is.”

Howler hated that she felt elated to see this… solid three out of ten of a man shuffle tiredly over to take a seat beside her. It looked like he had another long day of doing… hopefully conventional janitorial tasks. There was no look in his eye that hinted to anything much worse than that, as they both silently acknowledged one another.

“...Long day in the rafters,” Abe explained, “they um… they wanted me to check the skylights.”

He gave Howler a subtly admonishing look that she pretended not to see; she was too busy comfortably going back to her aloof demeanor, now that she felt secure in his presence.

-

Upon returning to their sad, cramped little dorm, Abe watched incredulously as Howler emptied her pockets. The side of the shared wardrobe meant for her was slowly being filled with her acquisitions; mostly fresh water and solid food - basic things that were borderline luxury for a scrub. He watched her unwrap then tear into a meat pie ravenously, clearly unsated by the paltry gruel they were given in the mess hall.

Howler noticed him watching, and paused to offer him some food. Reflexively, Abe turned her down politely; only to be cut off by the low, desperate groan of his own stomach. He clutched an arm around his sunken middle as he reluctantly took the pie.

He expected her to hoard the food, like others would. Scrubs caught distributing packaging rejects were usually punished, even if it was perfectly good food destined for the garbage. The way Howler watched him take the offering, Abe suspected she wanted him to be indebted to her. Nothing was truly free here, and they didn’t even get paid in a substantial way. It was all favors and contraband, the latter of which Howler was apparently acquiring on the daily. Somehow.

Abe didn’t want to know what she had to do to get any of this, so he tried to appreciate the shared ‘wealth’ for what it was. His body craved solid food, even if it was substantially less nourishing than the scrub chow. Filling his stomach perked him up a little, after a long day. He noticed how Howler watched his gloomy expression soften.

The scrub mumbled his thanks as he crumpled the wrapper into a tight little ball to squeeze. He considered what he was saving for a quiet moment like this.

“They saw what we did with the skylight,” he mentioned finally, “we’re lucky Molluck just figured it was poor maintenance. I don’t want to know what he’d do if he thought we were trying to… escape.”

Just the word escape made his chest tighten and his heartbeat raise. A terrifying, impossible concept, far more risk without reward.

“We need to be more careful. You need to be more careful.” Abe gave Howler a pointed look, though the dire tone in his voice didn’t seem to affect her. She gave him a dismissive gesture, and he sighed.

“You’re already being watched out for. If he thinks you’re too much trouble to keep around… well, that’s it. You’re done for.” The scrub chewed on his stitches, concern flitting across his expression as he went over the worries that were always rotating in his mind. Howler added more than a few new ones.

Abe froze when Howler reached over to take his paw, and give it a reassuring squeeze. It didn’t necessarily make him feel any better. It just reminded him of her grabbing his paw that night, and how she held it up to the window to put his world into a new, terrifying perspective.

“Howler,” Abe lowered his voice into a cautious whisper, “what does that pawprint on the moon mean?”

Howler regarded the note of fear and ever-present anxiety in the Mudokon’s wide eyes. She took out her notepad, and wrote:

‘We are the chozen peepel’

“But- but what does that mean?”

Howler huffed, and shrugged. Her mildly annoyed expression belied some deeper sadness in her eyes she wasn’t quite able to express.

“Does anyone know?” Abe pressed. Howler frowned, and seemed reluctant to finally write:

‘All ded’

“... I thought as much.” The scrub sighed, looking down at her unfortunately unsatisfying answer. “I just- I don’t get it. If we were the ‘chosen people’ - whatever that means - then why are we…”

Abe gestured around him, to their prison cell of a dorm, and the rest of the factory beyond. Howler sighed before writing out her answer.

‘They wer afraid of us’

Howler was no lorekeeper, nor any shaman entrusted with the passed down legacy of her people. When she was taken away from her home she was a child, her knowledge of their history remained at a child’s understanding. It was still more than Abe could have possibly fathomed; a scrub who had never given thought to a world beyond the factory.

She watched the depressive mud squeeze the wrapper in his hand anxiously some more. His back bowed like a weight had been saddled on his shoulders, the burden of the enormity of what he was trying to understand pushing his head into his hands. He sat there in quiet terror for a good minute; not weeping, as Howler assumed, but thinking. Thinking about all that had been kept from him, depriving him of all but the saddest semblance of a slave’s life.

Howler considered comforting him; sidling up to him, drawing him into her arms to soak up the comfort she was equally deprived of. Securing his trust in her, and confirming that she could trust him in turn. But there was an opportunity here that she could take, and he was the only one she could count on to do it.

Abe looked up to watch her write out her next statement, freezing in anticipation. She ripped the paper out of the pad and handed it to him.

It said, ‘giv me my voys back and ill tell u evrything.’

The break room was a haven after the chaos of a Glitch Tech mission. You sank into the couch, exhaustion seeping into your bones. It had been one of those days where everything went wrong: glitches spiraling out of control, collateral damage piling up, and Mitch's relentless snark acting as the cherry on top of an already stressful situation. You closed your eyes, letting the hum of the vending machines fill the silence.

The door swung open with a familiar squeak, and the telltale sound of Mitch's boots clunked against the tiled floor. Of course, it had to be him. You braced yourself for another round of teasing, but instead, he strolled up and stopped in front of you, hands shoved in his pockets.

"Hey, scrub," Mitch began, his tone as casual as ever, but there was something...off. His gaze flicked to the side, like he was trying too hard to act uninterested. "I found this during the last glitch. Thought it’d be wasted on someone who doesn’t appreciate the finer things in life, but whatever."

He tossed something onto the cushion next to you—a collector’s item from your favorite game. It was pristine, rare, and clearly something that had glitched out of the game you’d just spent hours dealing with.

He shrugged, acting like it was no big deal. “Figured someone like you would drool over it. Don’t say I never did anything for you.”

2. Factory Reset 💬

The tension between you and Mitch had been building for weeks. His constant teasing, once playful, had become sharper, leaving you frustrated more than amused. You tried to brush it off, knowing how Mitch was—always pushing boundaries, always testing your patience.

On missions, he was the first to crack a joke, throwing you off just as you were about to make the perfect shot. Afterward, his "assessments" of your performance were always unsolicited, always cutting. But today was different. Something about his behavior after the mission felt off. When it came time to reset the civilians who had witnessed the aftermath, Mitch’s tone wasn’t his usual neutral professionalism—it had a bite to it, almost like he was punishing them for simply being there.

And then, as you all walked away, he muttered a little jab about your performance.

"Not your finest work, Y/N."

What Mitch didn’t know was that you were among the group of civilians he was resetting. You’d overheard his comment, the sharp edge of it cutting through your already frayed nerves. The other Glitch Techs shouted a warning, but it was too late. Mitch, ever the professional, didn’t hesitate. The reset flash went off, and just like that, you were wiped clean.

Your memories—everything—disappeared in an instant. Every moment with Mitch—the teasing, the fights, the laughter, the love—was wiped clean. Mitch turned, thinking it was business as usual, completely unaware that he’d just erased you from his life.

When he looked back at you, the absence in your eyes hit him like a punch. There was no recognition, no warmth. Just an empty stare.

His smile faded as the weight of what he'd done began to sink in.

How Can Professional Mould Removal Help Prevent Future Growth?

Mould is not just an eyesore; it’s a serious concern for homeowners and businesses alike. When it infiltrates your space, it can lead to health problems, structural damage, and decreased air quality. While there are many DIY mould removal techniques available, none can compare to the effectiveness of professional mould removal. In this article, we’ll explore how professional mould removal services can help prevent future mould growth, ensuring the health and safety of your home or workplace.

Understanding the Mould Problem

Before delving into how professional mould removal can prevent future growth, it’s important to understand how mould forms in the first place. Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, dark environments. Common causes of mould growth include:

Water leaks: Leaky pipes, roofs, or windows can provide the ideal breeding ground for mould.

Poor ventilation: Areas that are poorly ventilated, like bathrooms or basements, trap moisture and promote mould growth.

Flooding: Floodwater can leave behind excess moisture that leads to mould infestations.

Condensation: Humidity in your home or building can result in condensation on surfaces like walls and windows, which creates a perfect environment for mould.

Mould doesn’t just grow in the corners of your home; it can spread quickly and compromise the integrity of your property. Left unchecked, it can cause health problems, such as respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and skin irritations. That's why addressing the issue with professional mould removal services is critical.

How Professional Mould Removal Can Help

1. Thorough Inspection and Identification

A Professional Mould Removal service starts with a comprehensive inspection. Trained technicians are equipped to identify not just visible mould, but also hidden mould growing behind walls, under flooring, or in other hard-to-reach areas. These hidden infestations are often missed by homeowners trying to tackle the problem on their own, allowing mould to resurface after a few weeks or months.

By using advanced tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, professionals can detect areas of excess moisture, which is a key factor in mould growth. They can also identify potential future problem areas that could lead to mould if not addressed immediately.

2. Effective and Safe Removal Techniques

Mould removal is more than just cleaning the surface. Professional mould removal services use industry-standard techniques to ensure that mould is completely eradicated. This involves the use of powerful cleaning agents, scrubbing, and sometimes even sanding the affected surfaces. In cases of severe infestation, materials like drywall, insulation, or flooring may need to be replaced.

Furthermore, professional mould removal experts use specialized containment strategies to prevent the spread of mould spores throughout your home or business during the removal process. Negative air pressure machines and plastic sheeting are commonly used to create a contained environment. This ensures that spores do not contaminate other areas of the building, which could lead to future outbreaks.

3. Addressing the Root Cause of Mould Growth

While surface cleaning removes the visible mould, it’s the root cause that must be addressed to prevent future growth. Professional mould removal specialists don’t just stop at cleaning; they focus on identifying and fixing the underlying moisture problems that lead to mould. Whether it’s a leaky roof, faulty plumbing, or poor ventilation, professionals will work with you to resolve these issues.

By repairing water leaks, improving ventilation, and controlling humidity levels, you can reduce the risk of future mould infestations. Professional mould removal services may also offer advice on how to keep your home dry, such as installing dehumidifiers or improving air circulation in high-moisture areas like basements and bathrooms.

4. Comprehensive Sanitization and Deodorization

Mould doesn’t just leave behind visible stains and spots; it also leaves behind musty odours that can linger for months. Professional mould removal not only eliminates the mould itself but also takes care of the smell. After mould removal, experts will thoroughly sanitize the affected areas to eliminate any remaining spores and bacteria.

They may use air purifiers or ozone treatments to neutralize any remaining odour, ensuring your home or office smells fresh and clean. This comprehensive approach prevents mould spores from re-establishing themselves in the area.

5. Preventative Treatments

One of the most important aspects of professional mould removal is the preventive measures taken after the initial mould removal. Experts often apply anti-mould treatments to the surfaces that were affected. These treatments create a protective barrier that resists future mould growth.

Using these treatments on surfaces like wood, concrete, and drywall helps keep them safe from moisture and mould. These treatments can be particularly useful in areas that are more prone to mould, such as basements, bathrooms, or kitchens.

6. Improved Air Quality

Mould can significantly impact the quality of the air in your home or office. As mould spores are released into the air, they can be inhaled, leading to respiratory issues such as asthma, allergies, and chronic coughing.

Professional mould removal can help restore the air quality in your space by eliminating the spores and other contaminants. Additionally, experts will often clean and disinfect the HVAC systems, including air ducts, to remove any mould spores that may have settled there. This ensures that your home or office remains safe to breathe in after the removal process.

7. Expert Advice on Long-Term Prevention

Mould removal isn’t a one-time fix. Professional mould removal experts not only take immediate action but also provide valuable advice on how to prevent mould from returning. They will help you monitor humidity levels, keep your property well-ventilated, and avoid conditions that promote mould growth.

By following these expert tips and performing regular inspections, you can ensure that your home or office remains mould-free in the long term. They can even help with seasonal mould prevention if you live in an area with high humidity levels.

Why Choose Professional Mould Removal?

While DIY methods may seem tempting, they often fail to address the root cause of the problem and can even make the issue worse by spreading spores to other areas. Professional mould removal ensures that the job is done right the first time, and it minimizes the chances of future mould growth.

With their expertise, advanced tools, and focus on long-term prevention, professional mould removal services are the most effective way to keep your home or business mould-free. Whether it’s dealing with an existing infestation or taking preventative measures, professionals will ensure that you have a healthy and safe environment to live or work in.

Conclusion

Mould can be a persistent and harmful problem, but professional mould removal offers a comprehensive and effective solution. By addressing not just the visible signs of mould, but also its underlying causes, professional mould removal services can help prevent future mould growth and protect your property from damage. From thorough inspections and safe removal techniques to preventative treatments and expert advice, professional mould removal is the key to keeping your environment healthy, safe, and mould-free. If you’re struggling with mould issues, consider calling in the experts to protect your space and ensure it stays clean and safe for years to come.

The Importance of Regular Water Tank Cleaning for Safe Drinking Water

Water is an essential resource that sustains life. Its quality directly impacts our health, making it vital to ensure that the water we consume is free from contaminants. One often-overlooked aspect of maintaining water quality is the regular cleaning of water storage tanks. The cleanliness of these tanks can significantly influence the safety and purity of the water we use for drinking, cooking, and other household activities.

Understanding the Role of Water Tanks

Water tanks are designed to store water for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Over time, these tanks can accumulate sediment, debris, and harmful microorganisms, including bacteria and algae. Factors such as environmental pollutants, dust, and even bird droppings can contribute to contamination. Without regular maintenance, these impurities can compromise water quality, posing risks to health and hygiene.

Risks of Neglecting Water Tank Cleaning

Neglected water tanks can lead to several problems that may not be immediately visible but have long-term consequences:

Health Hazards: Contaminated water can cause waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. The presence of harmful bacteria and viruses in the tank can turn safe drinking water into a health risk.

Poor Water Quality: Over time, sediments and impurities settle at the bottom of the tank, leading to foul odors, discoloration, and an unpleasant taste in water.

Damage to Plumbing Systems: The buildup of debris and sediment can clog pipes, reduce water pressure, and damage appliances like washing machines and water heaters.

Increased Maintenance Costs: Neglecting regular cleaning can result in more frequent repairs and replacements, ultimately leading to higher costs.

The Process of Professional Water Tank Cleaning

Professional water tank cleaning services employ advanced techniques to ensure that tanks are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Here��s what the process typically involves:

Inspection: Experts begin by inspecting the tank for dirt, debris, and potential damages. This step helps identify specific cleaning requirements.

Draining the Tank: The water in the tank is completely drained to facilitate cleaning.

Scrubbing and Removal of Debris: Specialized equipment is used to scrub the walls and floor of the tank to remove sediment, algae, and dirt.

Disinfection: After cleaning, the tank is sanitized using safe and effective disinfectants to eliminate harmful microorganisms.

Rinsing and Refill: The tank is thoroughly rinsed to remove any residual cleaning agents before being refilled with fresh water.

Signs You Need Professional Water Tank Cleaning

While routine cleaning is recommended, certain signs indicate it’s time to seek professional assistance:

Foul odor or taste in the water

Visible dirt or sediment in the water

Discoloration or cloudy appearance of water

Unexplained health issues among household members

An increase in plumbing issues such as clogged pipes or reduced water pressure

If you notice any of these issues, searching for “water tank cleaning services near me” can connect you with experts who can restore your tank to optimal condition.

Why Choose Regular Water Tank Cleaning in Dubai?

Dubai's climate and environmental conditions make water tank cleaning even more critical. The region’s high temperatures and occasional sandstorms can lead to rapid contamination of water tanks. Additionally, the need for consistent water storage in Dubai means tanks are in constant use, increasing the likelihood of buildup and contamination. Regular water tank cleaning in Dubai ensures that the water supply remains safe and reliable.

DIY vs. Professional Cleaning

While some homeowners attempt to clean water tanks themselves, professional cleaning offers numerous advantages:

Thorough Cleaning: Professionals have the tools and expertise to clean areas that are hard to reach.

Safety: Handling disinfectants and cleaning equipment requires knowledge and experience to avoid accidents.

Time Efficiency: Professional services save you time and effort while delivering better results.

Compliance with Standards: Professional cleaning services adhere to health and safety standards, ensuring peace of mind.

How Often Should You Clean Your Water Tank?

The frequency of water tank cleaning depends on factors such as the size of the tank, the quality of the water supply, and the surrounding environment. In general, it is recommended to clean residential water tanks every six months, while commercial and industrial tanks may require more frequent cleaning.

The Role of Technology in Modern Tank Cleaning

Advancements in technology have transformed the way water tanks are cleaned. Ultrasonic cleaning, robotic scrubbers, and high-pressure jets are now used to achieve superior results. These methods not only enhance efficiency but also minimize water wastage during the cleaning process.

Conclusion

Ensuring the safety and quality of your water supply starts with regular water tank maintenance. By investing in professional cleaning services, you can protect your health, extend the life of your plumbing system, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your water is safe to use. For those searching for a reliable solution, Pluspoint Cleaning offers comprehensive water tank cleaning services tailored to meet your needs. Prioritize your well-being by scheduling regular maintenance with trusted experts.

Regular water tank cleaning is not just a matter of convenience—it’s a necessity for maintaining a healthy and safe environment for you and your family.
