Protect Floors with Daily Cleaning

Once a building’s flooring is protected with a high-quality floor finish coating, having an effective daily maintenance plan is a vital next step. Dirt and debris are constantly brought into the building by wind, occupants tracking dirt, and everyday scuffs that must be cleaned to maintain the building’s appearance. With proper daily maintenance, custodians can protect the floor finish, saving time and money by delaying strip and recoat cycles.

First and foremost, entry matting is an essential part of a building maintenance plan. With proper matting and daily vacuuming, up to 85% of the dirt entering the building can be stopped at the entry point. Click here to see what Gator Matting by Hillyard can do for your facility.

Dust Mop Daily

Professional daily resilient floor maintenance starts with effective dust mopping. Dust mops treated with Super Hil-Tone^® capture abrasive dirt helping to protect the floor finish from scratching and wear. Scrubbing without dust mopping can accelerate the wear of the finish and spread dirt through the facility.

Scrub or Wet Mop Daily

Once a thorough dust mopping is complete, the next step is scrubbing. Effective floor-scrubbing processes combine the right chemistry and equipment to save cleaning labor and provide the best results.
