Coming Clean about Commercial Floor Care

Erin Meyer • Jul 15, 2013

There are so many types of flooring available on the market today that are routinely being used in commercial buildings. It is more important then ever to understand the different techniques and Floor Cleaning products used to properly clean floors. From the increasingly popular laminate flooring to hardwood floors to porcelain floors, the choices are endless and regular care and proper maintenance are critical to sustaining beauty in all your floor types.

Types of Commercial Flooring:

Hardwood
Tile
Carpet
VCT
LVT
Cork

If you have chosen hardwood floors, upkeep and proper maintenance is critically important. It takes time and great care to install hardwood floors and the same care must be applied to maintain these beautiful assets to your business. Before cleaning hardwood floors you must first decide if there is a wax coat or sealant on the flooring. The manufacturer will provide this information. Because some cleaning methods can eat away at sealants resulting in major damage, it is best if a professional cleaning service regularly cares for your flooring. Once this has been done, sweep your floor daily with a soft broom to avoid scratches. It is also beneficial to try to reduce traffic on high traffic areas and in some cases use rugs to save your flooring for a longer life span. For wet cleaning use warm water and vinegar. Apply gently, dry and repeat until you achieve the desired appearance.

Laminate flooring does not require the same level of expertise but still requires time and attention to keeping it looking its best. Laminate floors don’t require a lot of water. A dry mop used once a day will take care of accumulated debris and dust. On high traffic areas, occasional wet mopping should keep floors looking clean and shiny. Annual strip and waxing is usually a must in keeping the floor maintained with shine and protection of chipping or wear patterns.

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
