These days, surface flooring has become more and more popular in replacing carpeting to remove tough dirt and grime and stains as well as water retention. Wood, tile, linoleum and laminated flooring are also simple to maintain and clean... until dirt accumulate. The job is done far more quickly when you retain the services of a professional cleaner. However, there’s a way to use the same tools, processes and secret guidelines as the experts.

For effective floor cleaning, you might consider the following 7 easy steps to maintaining the cleanliness of the flooring just like an expert:

 

1.Choose the right tools. You will need a broom with tapered bristles and wide coverage, machine washable mops and terry cloth towels or any absorbent and machine washable towel.

 

2. Use ergonomics. Sweeping, cleaning and drying your flooring can lead to serious muscle pains. Utilize tools with handles of suitable lengths (or adjustable handles) matching your height. Do not bend your back again - only bend your knees and extend your arms. If you want to get lower, kneel on a mat. You need to consider this for your comfort at work.

 

3. Start sweeping or vacuuming. This task is simple. Vacuuming, sweeping or dusting your floor just before mopping will remove existing dust, dirt and hair as well as to help keep the mop water clean.

 

4. Mop with a multi-purpose solution. A multi-purpose cleaner doesn't just remove grime and dirt build up; it's going to sanitize your floors eliminating bacteria and pollens. Regardless if you are cleaning linoleum, laminated, hardwood or tile floors you can clean and deodorize without damage by using a multi-purpose and multi-surface cleaner and disinfectant.

 

• Dilute ¼ cup of cleaner to a half gallon of water and mop

• Refill your bucket with clean water and your cleaning solution when the mop water gets filthy

• Keep a rag beneath your mop pail to prevent scratches or discoloration

 

5. Remove scuffs and shoe marks. Remember to use a white, no scratch, soft wire mesh pad with your multi-purpose cleaner. Lightly rub the spot until it is removed.

6. Dry your floors. Experts dry freshly mopped floors with super-absorbent towels to remove left over dirt and particles and prevent hard water spots. It also help you from accidentally bringing in new dirt that can build grime and stay there until your next clean up day.

7. Add some shine. Prolong use of industrial floor shining products that contain wax will cause residue build up and can surely trap dirt. To make your floor have a sparkle look in a natural way, we suggest a mixture which you can apply directly to your floors. Use a spray bottle and clean with a dry mop or towel:

• 1 cup of water

• 1 cup of vinegar

• 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
