The keys to current maintenance practices are promoting long-term floor life while meeting the immediate requirements of providing a healthy, safe environment.
To meet these principles, common practices include using green chemical solutions, minimizing wet surfaces for slip and fall prevention and minimizing any facility disruptions during cleaning processes or restorative maintenance.
To incorporate these values, facility managers must consider multiple variables when developing a contemporary maintenance plan, including staff experience and training, specific facility needs and equipment.
Enhancing Floor Appearance
Stripping and refinishing, among other project-based maintenance activities, are understood to preserve and enhance hard floor appearance, quality and durability.
However, current hard floor cleaning practices incorporate regular, routine maintenance to sustain long-term floor quality.
Although a mop can be useful for cleaning up isolated spills or for maintaining small areas, it can be difficult to meet the increasing health and safety standards using this traditional tool.
Thus, more advanced or automated equipment may be worth considering.
There are specific considerations that should be analyzed when selecting any piece of equipment that is intended to help meet modern cleaning practices.
