The amount of options we currently have when choosing the type of services we want to offer to our clients are endless, and the cleaning industry is no exception; everybody offers upholstery, tile & grout and carpet cleaning. We must think out of the box to take advantage of all the industry opportunities we could be missing.
Have you ever wondered the amount of people who walk through an airport, a shopping mall or a grocery store? It’s a huge amount of people every single day. And it’s not only that, added beverage and food spills, gum that seems impossible to remove, all this causes the floors to look dirty, etched, wear and without shine. A bucket full of water and a mop are not the best solution to keep the floors clean. You need something more effective!
Floor polishers and floor scrubbers are versatile equipment that will last for a long time. They will help us keep our floors in a good shape; restoring a damaged floor or maintaining it to bring back the natural shine of a polished floor. You have the option to use pads, bonnets or brushes, depending on the job and most important, the floor type.
Focusing your business on floor maintenance might sound like a difficult job. People think that floor polishers are difficult to use, but with the appropriate training, the right equipment and accessories it won’t be.
These are a few basic floor maintenance steps for you to consider:
1. Identify the floor type: marble, terrazzo, granite, polished
concrete, or any other one.
2. Current floor condition: stained, wore, severe or light scratches...
3. Once you have the previous information, choose the type of job to be
done: floor restoration or just clean and maintain? You could even get the floors looking like a mirror using pads that don’t require chemicals
4. Finally, select the pad that you will need, based on the floor type and condition; how abrasive do you need it?
And that’s it! Clean and gleaming floors!
