As the old saying goes: “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. This definitely applies to the flooring in your facility, where dust and grit can act as an abrasive on hard and soft surfaces alike. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the life and look of your floors, so you can avoid spending your repair budget on unnecessary flooring replacement costs.
Every customer is different, and each floor is unique. Here we look at various factors which effect flooring:
- Condition of the floor
- Traffic volume
- Material of the floor
Professional daily floor cleaning routines such as mopping, using clean micro fibre mops and sweeping are essential. Depending on the brand and technique, weekly or monthly use of floor scrubbers are a great alternative to mopping and sweeping large floor surface areas. However, over time these measures are not effective. They don’t remove deep scratches, stuck on dirt, deep particles/dirt or other worn down areas that reduces that shiny floor effect.
In this case, we recommend our one-time floor cleaning services. This usually includes first buffing the floor, scrubbing the floor and applying a sealer/wax coat. This service usually lasts a year or two depending on how much traffic there is and the floor type. After this service we have found, it is easier to maintain floors with the traditional mop and broom, plus the occasional polish. Larger facilities have floor scrubbers. In a professional environment such as an office, car dealership, schools, restaurants or showrooms that undergo a lot of foot traffic. Waxed floors can provide a more professional look, and give out the message that you really care about the cleanliness of your business environment.
Helpful tips to keep in mind:
- Consider using floor mats for high traffic areas on all flooring types. They will be your first line of defense against soils and substances tracked inside of your building.
- It helps to preserve your floors for longer by protecting them from scratches, marks, nicks and spill stains.
