A Clean Floor Might Not Be Clean Enough

Sweeping, mopping, and spraying down a business floor will bring it back to a degree of clean, but if there is a large amount of foot traffic over the area, these methods are not enough to bring your floor back to square one. Vinyl composite tiles are commonly found throughout businesses in South Carolina. It is in your best interest to find a professional who specializes in cleaning your specific floor material because they will have more experience dealing with hard to clean floors compared to other cleaning companies. Having a truly clean business floor is a sight to behold because it brings a shine to your business that reflects in your employees and potential clients. It is worth the investment to bring your business room floor back to square one.

How can I tell if my floor is actually clean?

It depends on the floor material if the floor is actually clean or not. Vinyl composite tiles often show scuff marks and cracks, but they tend to be easier to clean to a respectable level with minimal maintenance. If you own vinyl composite tiles in your business and want to know if they are actually clean, contact the professional cleaners at Upstate Janitorial for a free consultation.

Does my showroom floor need to constantly be cleaned to perfection?

It needs to be cleaned daily to stay safe and sanitary for client and employee use, but a clean to perfection is not constantly needed for your showroom floor. In many ways, stripping a floor down to its base and bringing it back too many times can be a bad thing. It will degrade the structural integrity of the floor and could lead to unnecessary cracks and damage. However, the majority of business owners are not in this type of situation. The majority of business owners should plan to clean their showroom floor to perfection at least once a year. This includes stripping, waxing, buffing, and sealing the floor to bring it back to its original clean.

Are there methods to preserve the shine and luster of my clean floor?

Yes. After stripping, cleaning, and buffing your floor, a sealant for shine can be applied that will preserve the shine and luster of your clean vinyl composite tile floor. However, this shine will not last forever as foot traffic will inevitably lead to dirt accumulation which leads to scuffs and marks. Contact Upstate Janitorial if you are interested in methods to preserve the shine and luster of your floor.

Wait, there are legal liabilities involved with a dirty floor?

A dirty floor with obstacles and hazards is a legal liability for any business operating in South Carolina. It is the responsibility of the business owner to provide a safe work environment to conduct business for employees and clients alike. If a person slips and falls on your showroom floor because of negligent cleaning, it is your legal responsibility. A judge will rule against you and will make you pay for any damages suffered. Avoid any legal liabilities by retaining a professional cleaning staff on a constant schedule to clean your businesses floors.

A clean floor might not be as clean as you think. Especially now that people are dealing with contaminants like Covid-19, retaining a truly clean showroom floor is of utmost importance. If you are thinking about stripping, buffing, waxing, and/or sealing your business’s floor in South Carolina, contact the floor cleaning experts at Upstate Janitorial for a free consultation. We will be able to determine if we can get your floor back to square one and keep it that way for a long time to come.
