Our Boston area cleaning services include cleaning hard floors. We have seen all kinds – from basic concrete to elaborate tile and manufactured wood. Here is what we have learned after so many years of cleaning: the key to keeping Boston-area floors truly clean is frequency.
Another way to put it is that your commercial floors will be easier to keep clean if you clean them regularly. Routine cleaning makes what could otherwise be a daunting job a lot easier. And when cleaning floors is easier, cleaning crews are more likely to do it.
Routine Cleaning Prevents Buildup
The enemy of clean commercial floors is dirt buildup. Grime and debris building up in corners makes for unsightly spaces and a much more arduous task when it’s time to deep clean. Likewise for stains. When stains are allowed to set, they are harder to remove.
Routine cleaning addresses both problems. Cleaning on a nightly or bi-nightly basis prevents buildup. It allows cleaning crews to attack stains before they get deeply set.
Routine Cleaning Reduces Effort
Because routine cleaning prevents buildup and addresses stains earlier, keeping the floors clean requires less effort overall. It is a lot like cleaning your kitchen. If you clean up after every meal, doing so requires less effort than only cleaning up at the end of a long week.
Hand-in-hand with less daily effort is a less frequent need for deep cleaning. Floors that are cleaned regularly stay clean longer. Deep cleaning can be delayed because dirt and debris are not building up on the floor.
Routine Cleaning Is Better for Floor Finishes
Believe it or not, routine cleaning is also better for floor finishes. Floors take a lot of punishment regardless of the environment. Between foot traffic and different pieces of equipment that people need to move around the workspace, a floor’s finish takes a beating. Routine cleaning takes the edge off.
By cleaning on a regular basis, you’re removing dirt and debris that could actually harm a finish. In addition, certain types of cleaning chemicals are purposely formulated to protect finishes. So cleaning routinely with those chemicals protects floors even further.
Routine Cleaning Extends Floor Life
Preventing dirt buildup and protecting finishes ultimately extends a floor’s life. A regularly cleaned floor doesn’t have to be stripped and refinished quite as often. A regularly cleaned floor will not have to be replaced so soon.
Given how expensive flooring is your company could save quite a bit of money just by taking care of the floors. Why hasten refinishing and replacing floors when a little effort in routine cleaning will help them last longer?
Clean Floors Just Look Better
The icing on the cake for us is that clean floors just look better. Appearance isn’t everything, but it’s still important. Clean, tidy, and professional-looking work spaces are spaces people are more comfortable working in. They are spaces employees are more productive in. The same holds true in spaces your visitors see.
If customers visit you at your office, don’t you want them to see a clean and tidy space? If you run a retail outlet, do you really want customers seeing dirt and grime building up in the corners? We all want clean spaces. That’s the point of addressing floors on a regular basis.
The floors of your Boston-area business take a lot of punishment. But you don’t have to let them go to pot. Here at All Pro Cleaning Systems, floors are a normal part of our cleaning services. We believe the best way to ensure that your floors continue to shine is to clean them regularly.
