Maintaining floor machinesand any other property may demand that you hire a maintenance personnel or even an entire department, depending on the size of the facility. Commercial floor maintenance may seem like a relatively straightforward process, but if you have a 24 hour facility, such as a hospital, keeping those floors and other areas clean can seem like a nightmare at times.
It’s a good idea to develop a checklist for cleaning processes. Commercial floor maintenance may be an afterthought for the majority of individuals within a company. Ask any experienced maintenance personnel what they think about commercial floor maintenance and they will readily admit it’s one of the most important aspects of the entire facility.
The floor is the one area that gets the most use and abuse. Employees, partners, customers, and others who come to the facility for whatever reason will be walking along those floors. They may walk along a similar path, increasing the amount of wear and tear that exists along a certain area of the flooring. For linoleum tile, that can lead to excessive wear and tear marks, including dips and bows within the floor surface.
Regular cleaning and washing the floors is certainly an essential component, usually at least once a day if not more frequently than that, depending on use. Stripping, buffing, and waxing as well as sealing are also essential in ensuring the longevity of those floors as well as the safety of anybody who comes onto the property.
Keeping track of the regular cleaning schedule will help maintenance departments keep up with those floors throughout the month and the year. When you develop a cleaning schedule and share it with everybody who is responsible for some aspect of the cleaning of that commercial space, it will increase the chances of properly maintaining the floors as well as maximizing the longevity of the floor surface.
