Floor Cleaning 101

How to clean commercial floors and keep them that way.
Clean commercial floors are not just a luxury. They are an essential investment in the health and safety of customers and employees alike. Over time, dirt and dust can cause expensive long-term damage to your flooring.

Here are some basic tips to keep your commercial flooring pristine.

Safety First

Use microfiber cloths, neutral cleaners and air filters to minimize germs, dust and allergens that collect on your floors. Make sure any spills are cleaned up immediately, and have “Wet Floor” signs available to put out as soon as they are needed.

 

Hire a Professional

The process of cleaning commercial floors can be hazardous, so it’s a good idea to leave it to the professionals. By hiring a janitorial service like Service Fort to clean your floors, you can ensure that all OSHA safety standards are met.

 

Tile

Maintain the timeless look of ceramic tile by using a cleaning solution specially formulated for its use. And of course, make sure to get a professional occasionally; they have the right equipment to remove tough stains from tile flooring.

 

Vinyl

To maintain pristine vinyl flooring, you’ll need to sweep and vacuum on a regular basis. In addition, occasionally apply a mop dampened with a neutral floor cleaning solution. A professional cleaning crew is your best bet to clean vinyl flooring without causing any damage.

 

Laminate

Laminate is tricky to clean due to its multiple layers. It’s important to limit water use when cleaning it to avoid any damaging moisture buildup. Use a soft mop and a ph balanced cleaning solution.

 

Hardwood

Sweep and vacuum hardwood flooring on a regular basis, and use solvent cleaners on them. The frequent use of a dust mop can also help keep them clean.

By following these tips, you can keep your commercial floors free of unhealthy germs and damaging dirt and grime. If you need a little extra help, contact the professional cleaning team at Service Fort today.
