MAINTAIN FLOORS BY KEEPING DIRT AT BAY

After the messy winter season, dirt, grime, salt and grit is left on the sidewalks, tracked into garages and is rampant in parking lots. When brought into your facility, your floors can take a beating.

THE RIGHT PROCESSES CAN STOP DIRT IN ITS TRACKS AND SAVE YOU MONEY

By regularly following pre-routine maintenance processes, you can decrease the everyday wear-and-tear on your floors, reducing the labour required for both routine maintenance and more extensive care processes.

A spring maintenance program for outdoors – which involves removing dirt and debris near your entranceway, sweeping parking lots and sidewalks, and putting interior and exterior matting in place – will help you keep your floors cleaner and safer, for longer.

Recommendations

Use a power sweeper instead of traditional broom sweeping when cleaning the outside of your facility.

Add matting inside and outside your entrance – just 15 linear feet of entrance matting will prevent up to 80% of dirt and soil from further entering your facility.

Be sure to follow a regular cleaning schedule for your matting, and vacuum when necessary.

Ensure all operators are fully trained on cleaning equipment.
