Floors That Hold Dirt And Need To Be Machine Scrubbed

Wet Mopping A Floor Only Does So Much!

When doing your daily cleaning of a floor, wet mopping is essential for any business.  Wet mopping will take away the daily wear and tear, foot prints, spills, etc.  The problem is that most people do not understand what happens to certain floors after a long time even after wet mopping them everyday.  At some point with most floors they start to accumulate dirt in the crevices and cracks in the floor.  Especially when it comes to hard tile floors such as Porcelain, Waxed VCT, Epoxy/painted floors. 


Understanding the difference between a floor not being wet mopped for your daily cleaning and the floor holding dirt that sunk in is very important.  Eventually your daily wet mopping will just be pushing dirt around on the floor without actually picking up the dirt from the floor. 


Once the floor gets to this point, you must scrub it with a machine to pick up and remove the dirt.  This can be done using a Rotary Floor Scrubbing machine with a scrubbing pad or brush.  Then being sucked up with a wet vacuum after scrubbing it.  It can also be done with a Walk Behind Scrubbing machine that scrub and pick up the dirty water at the same time. 


Having the capability to machine scrub your floors when needed will be crucial at some point because eventually the trusty wet mop will not get it done.

It is not uncommon to find dirty carpets and floors in commercial buildings. This does not mean the facilities floor care providers are giving a poor service. The occupants responsible for the carpets and floors in their building are not always floor care experts. In most cases, they do not know much about taking care of the floor or protecting it from further damage. They were given no instructions on how to take care of it. When ignoring floor care issues for as long as possible the result is floor damage, dirty floors and carpets. There is an easy remedy. The first thing is to find a service provider with the expertise to assess your buildings floor surfaces and carpets and explain what needs to be done.

Commercial Cleaning and Sanitizing
By Jeff Volinsky • September 26, 2022
At first glance, cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting are similar. The truth of the matter is there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Cleaning and sanitizing are each two sides of the same coin; one acts as a necessity for the other. These are each part of a three-step cleaning process. Each step relies on or overlaps with the one before it. Note that one part of this process does not replace the other.
