Floor Care Services

Enviro USA • Apr 27, 2021

Today we are going to talk about floor care services.

There are many types of flooring and what works for one doesn’t work for the other and improper care can cause thousands of dollars in damage.

  • Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) – Daily cleaning regimen: Involves sweeping and dust mopping dirt and soil off VCT surfaces, a crucial step to prevent damage to the tile finish. Then, auto-scrub floors using a neutral-impact cleaner to remove particulate left behind every few months and a strip and wax at least once a year to keep them sealed and shiny. We also recommend at least quarterly spray/buffs.

  • Luxury Vinyl Floor – A lot of retail sites are moving to LVT flooring. These consist of the following types: Self adhesive, Glue down, Interlocking planks, and finally loose lay. LVT flooring must be treated with extreme care. Too much water can ruin your floor within minutes.

  • Hardwood Flooring – Traditional hardwood flooring can be beautiful if properly cared for. To maintain hardwood floors in commercial settings, daily vacuum or sweep with a soft broom or micro-fiber mop to collect dust, dirt or debris that can dull the finish or scratch the floor. Use an approved commercial grade no-wax floor cleaner to clean the floor as needed.

  • Polished Concrete – Polished concrete has been grinded to a smooth and scratch free finish. The regular sweep and mop with a neutral cleaner will work for basic dirt and grime. On a quarterly basis these types floor need a rotary machine scrubbing to keep it’s beautiful shine.

  • Carpeted Flooring – Vacuuming is the first defense with carpet. For small spots and stains spot treatments are great. But what about when you have a lot of traffic? This is when you bring in the big guns and go with hot water extraction. Not only will this method pull out layers of dirt and stains, it is safer than other methods of carpet cleaning.

  • Unsealed Concrete – Unsealed concrete is normally found in stairwells and warehouses. Exterior unsealed concrete can be power washed which will remove everything from dirt to graffiti. Interior unsealed concrete should be cleaned by using an auto scrubber machine, which will remove dirt, oil, adhesives.
