Resilient Floor Care “Never” List

Resilient Floor Care “Never” List In pursuing the desired appearance level for your resilient tile floors, there are some things that you should never do while maintaining your floors: NEVER use cold, clean water to clean your floors. Always use 1-2 oz. of a recommended cleaner. Water is one of the worst cleaners you can use to clean floors. It does not have the ability to hold dirt in suspension. All you’re doing is diluting the soil, spreading it out and leaving it on the floor. NEVER use a new mop. Always presoak a new mop in hot water for one to two hours and then rinse before using. The purpose is to remove any cotton seed oil and/or sizing (glue) materials if it’s a cotton or cotton blend mop. This will assure that the contaminants are not absorbed into your finish, creating problems. NEVER put floor finish or a restoration product into a metal bucket (unless it is stainless steel). Always use a plastic bucket or put a plastic trash can liner into the metal bucket. This will save your products from becoming contaminated by the metal and picking up a grayish discoloration from the bucket. NEVER stop an automatic scrubber and allow the brushes to run or rest on the floor. Always raise the brushes, squeegee the residual amount of liquid by moving the machine forward, then shut off the machine. If you hold the automatic scrubber in one spot and keep the brushes moving, it continues to clean, leaving white circles on the floor. NEVER leave the pads on either the automatic scrubber or buffer when the job is finished. Always remove the pads, rinse them out and let the “rest” for two days before using them again. This will extend the life of your pads tremendously and will also decrease the discoloration and dirt pickup that you can get by using dirty pads. NEVER put dry pads on an automatic scrubber. Always immerse the pads in water or the cleaning solution before putting them on the scrubber. When you put a dry pad on, there is always more initial grinding action. NEVER go to your work area without gathering your cleaning equipment first. And, after the cleaning is done, don’t forget to allow time to clean and return the janitorial equipment to the storage area. By following recommended procedures and adhering to the “Never List,” you can develop a successful floor care program.   Search For Cleaning Supplies And Cleaning Products On Our Online Store
