Your Facility's Floors

At Handi-Clean, we understand that clean, well-kept floors leave a lasting impression on visitors and employees. Your facility's floors are more than just surfaces to walk on; they serve as the foundation of your space's aesthetics and functionality. Neglecting floor care can lead to costly repairs, safety hazards, and a negative impact on your facility's overall appeal. In this blog, we'll discuss the different types of flooring and the cycle of floor care to help you choose the right products to make your facility shine.

The Floor Care Cycle

A successful floor care routine involves a well-structured cycle that includes daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic tasks. We'll outline each step in this cycle and explain its significance in preserving your floor's lifespan and beauty.

Daily
-Sweep/Vacuum: Remove loose dirt and debris.
-Spot Clean: Address spills promptly.
-Mat Maintenance: Ensure clean entrance mats.

Weekly
-Damp Mop: Clean the entire floor with a suitable cleaner.
-Grout Check: Inspect and clean grout lines if necessary.
-Polish (if applicable): Maintain shine on specific floor types.

Monthly
-Deep Cleaning: Schedule a monthly deep cleaning session, which may involve machine scrubbing for a thorough clean.
-Reapply Protective Coatings: For floors with protective coatings like wax or sealant, reapply these coatings on a monthly basis.
-Mat Maintenance: Regularly examine and clean entrance mats. Replace or launder them when heavily soiled.

Quarterly or Semi-Annually 
-Intensive Maintenance: Conduct more extensive floor maintenance, including machine scrubbing, buffing, or resealing as needed.
-Stripping and Waxing (if applicable): For floors with wax or sealer, perform stripping and re-waxing every few months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
-Professional Services: Consider hiring professionals for specialized tasks like refinishing or restoration.
