Bathroom Floors: Proper Cleaning for Optimal Results
One of the most crucial areas for cleanliness and hygienic conditions in any facility is the restroom, and improperly cleaned bathroom floors can affect overall perceptions dramatically. Even if plumbing fixtures are clean and garbage cans are empty, a floor which appears to be dirty can make the entire room seem unclean. In order to keep your bathroom floors clean and sparkling, it’s imperative for janitorial staff and contracted cleaners to use the proper cleaning methods.
Using Mops on Bathroom Floors
For hard-surface flooring, using a mop and disinfectant solution is one of the most common cleaning methods. While this can be the right approach in some cases, it will not keep bathroom floors clean over an extended period of time. Unless cleaning staff members mop their way out of the room completely to avoid stepping on wet floor surfaces, a bathroom floor may not even appear to be properly cleaned. The soles of even a relatively clean shoe will often leave discolored footprints on wet bathroom floors, leading to smudging and the appearance of uncleanliness as the floor dries.
When mops are used on bathroom floors, members of a cleaning staff should start mopping early enough to allow ample drying time before the restroom will be used.
Best Practices for Cleaning Bathroom Floors
The best and most effective way of keeping bathroom floors clean requires the use of scrub machines, especially for tiled floors with visible grouting. Machine scrubbing is the most hygienic method of removing dirt, stains and bacteria from restroom floor surfaces, as the equipment is capable of removing stains and discoloration much more effectively than a traditional mop. Additionally, machine scrubbers are capable of applying antibacterial solution, scrubbing the floor and then removing any remaining liquid to facilitate quick drying.
Bathroom odors can make even a clean restroom seem neglected. One common source of these odors is a drain in bathroom floors. Pouring a carefully mixed solution of disinfectant and water into floor drains can eliminate those odors, improving the perceptions of those who make use of the restroom.
To ensure cleanliness and hygienic conditions, it’s often wise to employ the services of a professional cleaning company who has access to the right equipment for the job. By investing in clean and disinfected bathrooms, you can help to reduce the spread of illness throughout your facility and ensure the comfort of both visitors and staff alike.
