Want to Save Time and Money While You Clean?

Maintenance 101  |  7 Do’s and Don’ts of Cleaning Problem Floors to Extend the Life of Your Floor.

 

 

1. DO: Dry mop your floor every day.

DON’T: Use a treated mop.

 

2. DO: Wash your floor weekly with a detergent degreaser, ProClean. For slippery floors use ProClean NS

DON’T: Rinse with water. Water spreads body oil, perspiration and lotions all over the floor. 

 

 

3. DO: Use a specialty stain remover, SimplyGone, when food and drink get on your floor.

DON’T: Dry mop when stuff gets on your floor like coffee, food stains, lipstick etc. EEW, JUST DON’T.

 

4. DO: Remove scuff and dye marks with a special solvent, Wipeout Plus for removal. Flush the site with water to remove solvent – follow instructions on Wipeout Plus.

DON’T: Wait to treat scuff and dye marks, the sooner, the easier they will be to remove.

 


5. DO: Use artificial shammy cloth on the bottom of mop when dry mopping daily. Weekly wet down your floor and use a wet/dry shop vac to suck up the metal particles. (If not using ProClean NS)

DON’T: Clean up Aluminum tap residue with detergent and water. It is metal. It looks like black/grey soot.  It is not coming from the floor. It comes from the taps. It sticks to everything.  

 


6. DO: Rent a small cleaning machine (125-175 rpm) twice a year. Use a green or aqua pad to deep clean your floor with a detergent degreaser, ProClean using a more concentrated formula. Rinse with water after this procedure.

DON’T: Use a black pad, it may scratch the floor surface.

 


7. DO: Use industrial-strength disinfectant, ProClean D, twice a year to kill unseen germs, viruses and the beginnings of mold. Dry mop floor following application.

DON’T: Let your dance floor be the start of sick winter zombie students, Disinfect once during winter.
