November 18, 2015

They say cleanliness is next to Godliness, and while I’m not sure the two are so intimately connected – one thing is for certain, cleanliness is important for your image. Not only is a clean workspace important for worker productivity and morale, but it shows your clients that you are serious about your business. One aspect of commercial cleaning is floor cleaning. Though you may not pay a lot of attention to your floors, the reality is they can have a huge impact on the image of your company. Floors take up a great deal of your commercial space, and they’re often one of the most noticeable aspects of your business and there’s more to commercial floor cleaning than meets the eye. So, what do you need to know about commercial floor cleaning?

Benefits

First, let’s talk about some of the clear benefits of maintaining clean commercial floors. As already stated clean floors project an image of professionalism and help to promote worker efficiency. However, you may not be aware of some of the benefits of a regular maintenance program. Over time, commercial floors in offices, warehouses, factories, and everything in between see a lot of traffic, wear, and tear. Regular cleaning not only ensures your floors look great today, but helps maintain the surfaces so they’re durable and attractive for years to come.

Most importantly, regular commercial floor cleaning is a major component of maintaining adequate workplace hygiene. Floors collect dust, dirt, and debris that can be a source of microorganisms known to cause a variety of illnesses. Floor cleaning should not be overlooked when endeavouring to maintain a sanitary workplace.

Professional Cleaning

Now that you understand why you should routinely have your commercial floors cleaned, let’s talk about some of the reasons to hire professional floor cleaners. In fact, commercial floor cleaning is a highly specialized job. There are many different materials utilized in commercial flooring from tile and vinyl to ceramic and concrete, and the cleaning tools and supplies required can vary significantly.

Commercial floor cleaning professionals also have the necessary experience to ensure your entire floor surface is effectively cleaned. For tile floors, cleaning techniques are designed to clean throughout the tile and grout effectively eliminating dirt, mildew, fungus, and bacteria. For vinyl or laminate flooring, floors are cleaned and buff to leave a smooth, shiny finish.

Not only do cleaning supplies vary depending on the type of floor, but commercial floor cleaners will use different techniques depending on the type of business. For example, warehouses that store chemicals or solvents require specialized cleaning in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Regardless of the type of business or the type of flooring in your space, professional commercial cleaners will keep your floors in their best condition so they look like new today and in the future.
