The first thing that customers and employees see when judging the cleanliness of your business is the FLOORS!! So keeping them clean and shiny makes a strong positive impression.
High traffic areas generally attract huge quantities of dust, wear, and deep scratches, which can soon affect the finish and the appearance of the main flooring area. Office spaces with highly polished floors are particularly at risk of a build-up of wax, which can soon lead to unappealing and yellowish discoloration. This is most common on VCT floors (Vinyl Composite Tile). This is the typical shining hospital, grocery, or retail store that is commonly used in offices.
VCT Floor stripping and waxing is generally a great initial process in keeping up the look and shine of a solid floor. Each and every floor is completely unique and will need proper care and maintenance to maintain its overall look. Although, a vinyl, hardwood, or stone flooring can be very resilient to most foot traffic, over time any floor will need the right attention and care to preserve its shine and sturdiness.
Depending on the type of business and the volume of foot traffic, a floor stripping and waxing process is generally recommended and the proper frequency can vary from monthly to annually, depending on foot traffic. And whether you are in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach, you can easily hire respected services of commercial cleaning companies like Pro Facility Services to keep your floors gleaming.
