These days, surface flooring has grown to be more and more popular in replacing carpet to remove challenging dirt and grime and stains as well as water retention. Wood, tile, linoleum and laminated flooring are also simple to clean and maintain... until dirt accumulate. The job is done far more quickly when you hire a qualified cleaner. However, there’s a way to use the same tools, processes and secret tips as the experts.
For successful floor cleaning, you may 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 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, cleaning and drying your floor can cause severe muscle pains. Utilize tools with handles of appropriate lengths (or adjustable handles) matching your height. Don't 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 consider this for your comfort at work.
3. Start sweeping or vacuuming. This step is simple. Vacuuming, sweeping or dusting your floor prior to wetmopping will get rid of existing dust, dirt and hair as well as to keep the mop water clear.
4. Mop with a multi-purpose cleaner. A multi-purpose cleaner doesn't just remove grime and dirt build up; it will also clean your flooring getting rid of bacteria and pollens. Maybe you are cleaning linoleum, laminated, hardwood or tile floors you can clean and deodorize without damage by using a multi-purpose and multi-surface solution and disinfectant.
• Dilute ¼ cup of cleaner to a half 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 under your mop pail 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
