Protecting Your Floors

Floor Care Programs

Keeping your floors in good condition is essential, as they can easily wear down and get damaged. A floorcare program helps protect your floors with several layers of finish, giving them a shiny, reflective look. Over time, this finish can wear out, so it’s important to follow four key steps to maintain both the finish and the floor underneath.

Stripping

Stripping is the process of removing old floor finish. We use special chemicals that quickly loosen and eliminate the old layers. This step is crucial because it prepares the floor for a fresh coat of finish, ensuring a clean and even surface. A proper base helps prevent any flaws that could affect the floor’s appearance and durability.

Finishing

After stripping, we apply a new polymer-based finish. This finish protects your floor from dirt and wear, making it easier to clean while also enhancing its beauty. Choosing the right finish is important and depends on factors like foot traffic, how often you clean, and your design preferences.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is the most important part of floor maintenance. By keeping your floors clean, you can easily repair the finish with methods like scrubbing and recoating or buffing. Consistent cleaning helps maintain the floor’s appearance and extends the life of the finish, reducing the need for frequent stripping and refinishing.

Maintaining

Different areas of your facility experience different levels of traffic. By using techniques like burnishing or spray buffing along with thorough cleaning, you can improve the look and longevity of the finish. Tailoring maintenance to specific areas based on their use will help keep your floors looking great while minimizing the need for extensive repairs later.

A floorcare program will guide you through each of these steps, giving you the tools and knowledge to effectively care for your floors for years to come.
