Cold weather is here to stay in North Carolina, and the next few months will bring a mix of rain, snow, ice and everything in between. Whatever is outside normally makes its way inside to your business, however there are ways to protect your floor during the winter and all season long.
Floor Mats.
One important step in keeping your floors protected is by adding industrial mats to each exterior entry door. This allows some of the dirt and grime to naturally be wiped off shoes as employees and customers enter your building. These mats should be changed out and/or cleaned routinely for maximum effect.
Routine Maintenance.
Consistent cleaning is a key to keeping your floors looking and feeling clean. During the winter months this means vacuuming and mopping daily to remove dirt, salt, and mud. In high traffic areas you may even need to clean twice a day or more. A safe, eco friendly, neutral cleaner is the best defense against abrasives like salt residue and grit.
Floor Stripping & Waxing.
In addition to routine cleaning, scheduled deep cleaning will keep your floors protected and durable. For hard floors this means machine scrubbing to remove deep build up that mops just can’t touch. Stripping and waxing these floors provide a shine and ensures a protective layer is added to protect against salt and moisture.
Carpet Cleaning.
Routine vacuuming is key to keeping your carpets looking and smelling fresh however sometimes a deep clean is needed too especially when winter dirt, mud and salt are involved. For carpets, hot water or steam cleaning removes grit, dirt, odors, and unwanted elements leaving a fresh clean look and feel. Clean carpets help with your overall air quality in your office, too.
