Commercial Floor Maintenance Methods
Commercial floors have heavy foot traffic and require commercial-grade floor cleaners and tools to avoid wear and tear. Specific floor care methods are recommended. When it comes to cleaning, it is highly beneficial to spot test, use non-abrasive tools, and choose floor cleaners with a low PH to prevent damage.
Carpet Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning is the best way to remove stains and odours from commercial carpets. When done properly, carpet steam cleaning revives carpets. This process involves using steam and high pressure to loosen dirt and debris from carpet fibres. Then, the dirty water is extracted by the machine, leaving the carpets clean and bacteria-free. Carpet steam cleaning is a lengthy process due to needing to fully saturate carpets with water and requires ample dry time. A pre-treatment may also be necessary for extremely dirty carpets.
Diamond Honing
Natural stone and polished concrete floors require a special floor cleaning method called diamond honing. This process involves rubbing a diamond abrasive pad over the floors to buff them, remove any surface damage, and bring back shine. It is a complex polishing method that requires experienced commercial floor professionals. A minor mistake can cause serious floor damage and safety hazards.
Floor Stripping & Waxing
Various floor materials can be stripped and waxed including hardwood, tile, vinyl, and linoleum. Stripping and waxing protects commercial floors from everyday use and prevents moisture from being absorbed. It prolongs commercial floors and is an ideal floor care method for businesses. Floor stripping and waxing involves removing the top layer of finish on a floor and applying a fresh coat of wax to remove any surface damage and bring back shine and grip.
Floor Scrubbing
Machine floor scrubbing is ideal for most solid floor surfaces including vinyl, tile, sealed concrete, rubber/cork, epoxy, and tile. It cleans floors in large commercial spaces effectively by scrubbing and drying at the same time. Schools, malls, and medical facilities often use this floor-cleaning method.
