Here are some professional floor care tips and tricks to keep your floors pristine.
Always Clean With Microfibre
Microfibre is the most effective cleaning tool for any surface. It is versatile and soft and eliminates dirt, dust, and debris without cross-contaminating. Whether cleaning commercial windows or floors, removing fingerprints from glass walls or partitions, dusting surfaces, or removing upholstery or floor stains, microfibre cloths are ideal. Microfibre cloths and mops can be used wet or dry, depending on the cleaning task. Use a dry cloth for dusting and a wet cloth for washing or polishing.
Clean Stairs From Top to Bottom
Floor professionals clean stairs from top to bottom to prevent dirt and debris from spreading from one stair to another. Workplace slips, trips, and falls are common on stairs due to missteps and dust. Cleaning stairs from top to bottom removes dust more effectively, creating fewer workplace accidents. It is an efficient method when cleaning commercial buildings or facilities such as schools, law firms, malls, and large office buildings.
Clean & Protect Grout Lines
Dirty grout lines make commercial floors appear dirty, even after cleaning. Shield grout lines from debris and mould build-up using a grout protector and frequently cleaning tile grout, especially in high-traffic commercial spaces. Commercial floor scrubbers are quicker and proficient at removing dirt and grime from grout lines than hand scrubbing. Hire commercial floor cleaners to save time and do it right the first time.
Don’t Use Water on Hardwood Floors
Excessive water causes irreversible damage to commercial hardwood floors, including warping, swelling, cupping, buckling, crowning, and bacteria growth. Avoid water damage by cleaning with dedicated hardwood floor cleaners and always start with less product than you think you will need. Clean hardwood floors with a microfibre mop to prevent scratching and absorb excess moisture. Ensure hardwood floors are completely dry before using to avoid footprints and debris sticking to wet floor surfaces.
Pre-Treat Stains Before Cleaning
Set-in stains are more challenging to remove than fresh ones. Pre-treating floor stains before cleaning lessens the severity of the stain. There are various commercial floor stain pre-treatments available for different floor materials. Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions to prevent damage and spot-test to avoid deepening stains.
Use Commercial Floor Equipment
Commercial floor equipment is powerful and designed to clean high-traffic floors. Floor scrubbers, carpet cleaners and extractors, pressure washers, commercial vacuums, and burnishers and polishers help maintain commercial floors without elbow grease. They effectively clean large surface areas and help remove tough stains, wear and tear, and other imperfections.
