Ask your San Diego cleaning company and they’ll tell you that the best way to keep floors clean is through constant maintenance. This is why cleaning services vacuum, sweep, and mop floors on a daily or weekly basis as needed. Here are some floor cleaning and care tips from the professionals:
- Vacuuming or sweeping should be done at least once a week. This prevents the accumulation of dirt and debris that can scratch many flooring types, particularly when the particles become stuck to the bottoms of shoes and are tracked across the floor.
- If floors are waxed, wax should be reapplied once or twice a year, and floors should be buffed often in order to restore the shine.
- Waxed wood floors should never be mopped.
- Ceramic, tile, marble, and stone floors should have sealant applied to them to protect them from damage, and waxed once a year.
- Never drag anything across the floor. When moving furniture or other objects, always lift rather than drag. Not only can this help prevent damage to your furniture, but it will also keep your office furniture from scratching or gouging your floor.
- When mopping, make sure to use cleansers recommended by the manufacturer of your flooring type. Harsh detergents and solvents can damage and dull your floor.
