At CM Cleaning, we know that floors get dirty over time. Your hard surface floors get scratched and dull through constant, consistent foot traffic and can cause your incredible professional space to lack the luster it deserves. To properly clean your hard surface floors follow this guide for periodic maintenance:
Practice Daily Floor care. This consists of daily vacuuming, dust mopping, and wet mopping with a proper ph cleaning solution. Doing this will keep your floors shiny between deep restorative cleanings.
Then we have Restorative Floor Care that is only done when your floor is noticeably dull, has scratches, or even dirt embedded in it. On a typical floor, with high traffic, this can take place every three to four months. On low traffic areas, you can get by with having this done just once a year. If the issues you see aren’t fixed with your daily cleaning routine, then it’s time to follow this procedure.
First, you dust mop the floor. Then you apply the stripping solution, and begin removing the top coat of the sealer. This will get rid of the embedded dirt and even out the finish. Finally, you will apply light top coats to the area with a flat or string mop depending on the percentage of solids in the finish being used.
For Periodic Floor Care to maintain a glossy finish between daily and restorative cleanings, we recommend using a floor buffer to burnish the finish to renew the top coat of finish. After, make sure to clean any left over dust left by the burnisher, unless your machine has dust control. In which case, you can skip this last step.
You are done! Doing this once or twice a year as needed will keep your hard floors looking brand new!
