5 Handy Commercial Floor Cleaning Tricks to Keep Any Type of Floor Spotless and Looking New

Commercial floor cleaning is very important to your business because cleanliness is the first thing your customers will notice as they enter your organization. Floor cleaning techniques you employ will depend on the type of flooring you have in your commercial environment. In general, a business environment will experience more traffic from a combination of visitors, employees, equipment, and furniture, unlike the domestic type of environment.
As part of your business facility or property that gets the most wear and tear, floors need constant repair and maintenance to make sure your business is not affected. A Professional floor cleaner uses the most effective methods to reduce the impact of daily traffic and guide the floor against any major damage.
Whether your floor is porcelain tile, linoleum, laminate or cork, here are the easiest and safest ways to keep them looking squeaky clean and new.

1. Porcelain Tile Flooring
This flooring style uses ceramic to cover walls and floors and has a water absorption rate of below 0.5 percent. If you are doing the weekly cleaning of your porcelain tile flooring, make use of the spritz-and-dry mop method to keep it looking fresh. In this case, blend 1/4 cup of vinegar in one 16 ounces spray container with only a drop of dish soap together with warm water. Spray one section of the floor at once and dab with a dehydrated microfiber wipe as you proceed.
For intermittent deep cleaning, however, use the steam cleaner to clean the grout and tile—bearing in mind that the steam does the work of eliminating bacteria and stains.
 
2. Hardwood Floor
Hardwood floors typically have either wax or polyurethane finish. You can do floor waxing on the surface of your hardwood floor to get rid of cosmetics issues like dings, marks, and scratches. Floor waxing is the technique of cleaning and polishing commercial floors to give them renewed shine and protect them from damage.
For a more intense cleaning of your hardwood floor, simply blend ¼ cup of mild pH-neutral soap in a bucket of water to clean your hardwood floor. (Avoid using harsh acidic vinegar mixture, as they may affect wood floors after a while). After that, damp mop the floor by using a dehydrated microfiber cloth to wipe up any surplus moisture left on the floor.

3.  Linoleum Floor
The real linoleum is made from cork dust, wood fiber, limestone, resin and linseed oil, and colored with mineral pigments. To do this type of commercial floor cleaning, prepare a mixture of hot water and a few drops of dish soap in a spray container and use the mixture on an area of the floor at once and clean the surface with a humid microfiber wipe as you advance. Doing this will make the floor air-dry immediately. However, if it feels somewhat sticky to the touch, you can wipe it with another clean cloth or damp microfiber mop.

4. Natural Stone Flooring
When cleaning your natural stone flooring, whatever you do, make sure you don’t use vinegar because a small quantity of the acidic liquid could harm stone floors, just like ammonia and bleach. Mop your sealed stone floors with pH neutral non-chelating cleaner instead. This is because the pH neutral non-chelating cleaner won’t react negatively to the minerals in the natural surfaces.
However, just mop the floor with a microfiber wipe and hot water; if you have unsealed stone tiles because chemicals would make a way into the stone. Use a steam cleaner for obstinate dirt on your natural stone flooring.

5. Vinyl Floor
For weekly commercial floor cleaning of your Vinyl floor, use the spritz-and-dry mop method to keep the floor looking fresh. All you will do is to gently blend 1/4 cup vinegar with just one drop of dish soap and warm water inside a 16 ounces spray bottle. Spray the vinyl floor one segment at once and wipe with a moist microfiber wipe as you spray. For episodic deep cleans, however, use a steam cleaner for she tile and grout.

Understanding Floor Buffing
Floor buffing is a cleaning technique that will restore the shine of different types of flooring such as the ones highlighted above. Floor buffing makes use of a buffer to polish floors. Buffing works by using the squeeze at the back of the buffer to collect moisture and dirt left on the floor after initial cleaning. You can do buffing at a high or low speed to restore smoothness and gloss to floors.
