Untreated or wax-finished hardwood floors are not recommended for washing. You can sweep, vacuum, and dust-mop your floors regularly. A pH-neutral soap, on the other hand is great for polyurethane floors.
Avoid using soap-based cleaners or polishes as they can dull the surface. For stubborn stains, you can use a damp cloth.
For a deeper clean, mix water and a little mild detergent.
Linoleum floors can be cleaned with hot water and dish soap.
Natural stone floors can be cleaned with non-chelating, pH-neutral cleaners. These cleaners will not cause unwanted chemical reactions that could damage stone’s minerals.
For tiles, mild soap suffices. Grout is where dirt and grime accumulate. To clean grout, mix 2 parts baking soda with 1 part water.
The type of flooring material will determine the products needed to remove it. To get the best results, use the right chemical. It is easy to remove debris, dust, or wax by stripping.
After stripping, a sealant should be applied. This sealant protects the floor against grease and scuffing. For best results, the floor must be completely dry before sealing.
Depending on traffic, flooring type and cleaning method, this task can be done annually, twice or three times annually. This task is also recommended after winter because of the harsh effects that cold temperatures can have on flooring.
Gloss and shine can be added by buffing or burning on a weekly basis or semi-weekly. They can hide scratches and other signs wear and tear. Burnishing is a popular choice because it creates a brighter shine.
Professional cleaners are the best way to keep floors clean. This is especially true in commercial spaces. Due to the sheer number of people who visit and leave, wear and tear is greater.
