Nowadays, surface floor coverings has become increasingly popular in replacing carpet to remove challenging grime and spills as well as water retention. Wood, tile, linoleum and laminated flooring are also easy to maintain and clean... until dirt accumulate. The job is done much more quickly when you retain the services of a professional cleaner. However, there’s a way to use the same tools, processes and secret tips as the experts.

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

 

1.Select the right tools. You will need a brush with tapered bristles and wide coverage, machine washable mops and terry fabric bath towels or any absorbent and machine washable towel.

 

2. Use ergonomics. Sweeping, mopping and drying your floor may result in severe muscle pains. Utilize tools with handles of appropriate lengths (or adjustable handles) matching your height. Do not bend your back again - only bend your legs and extend your arms. If you need to get lower, kneel on a mat. You need to think about this for your comfort at work.

 

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

 

4. Mop with a multi-purpose solution. A multi-purpose cleaner will not only remove grime and dirt build up; it's going to clean your floors eliminating bacteria and pollens. You may be cleaning linoleum, laminated, hardwood or tile floors you can clean and deodorize without damage using a multi-purpose and multi-surface solution and disinfectant.

 

• Dilute ¼ cup of cleaner to a 1 / 2 gallon of water and mop

• Refill your bucket with water that is clean and your cleaning solution when the mop water gets unclean

• Keep a rag below your mop container to prevent scratches or discoloration

 

5. Remove scuffs and heel 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
