The floors are one of the main elements in our commercial spaces, not only our clients have contact with them, but also all the personnel that works in our companies, that is why great care must be taken to keep them clean and in perfect condition.
There are several types of floors: Vinyl (VCT - LVC), linoleum, and wood. Here are some tips to know the care that must be taken to keep them in the best condition, below, we present the different floors and their care.
The installation of vinyl floors (VCT - LVT) is growing in commercial premises, offices, hospitals, and official centers due to its great resistance to wear and humidity.
However, their high resistance does not exclude them from proper care and maintenance.
To extend the useful life of a Vinyl floor (VCT – LVT) it is important to take into account the following recommendations to increase its useful life:
They should not be flooded because if their joints are not properly installed, moisture can seep in and generate bad odors.
Do not use aggressive products or cleaning solvents such as bleach, ketones, etc.
Heat sources can dilate these floors showing deformations.
Avoid the use of abrasive pads, sandpaper, etc.
The maintenance of a vinyl floor (VCT – LVT) is essential and we give you the following recommendations:
Immediately remove any liquid that falls on this floor to prevent discoloration.
For superficial cleaning, it is recommended to use a mop or vacuum cleaner.
If a deeper cleaning is required, use the wrung mop with lukewarm water and add a specialized neutral cleaner for Vinyl (VCT – LVT).
To ensure proper care and maintenance, MB FLOOR SOLUTIONS performs a deep cleaning of your Vinyl floor (VCT - LVT), in addition to offering the services of a correct restoration so that your floor looks like new.
Linoleum floors have special characteristics of durability, resistance, and variety of colors, linoleum requires special care to last in good condition and not lose its shine, it is susceptible to humidity and alkalinity, so we give you some recommendations for care of linoleum floors.
For proper cleaning of your linoleum floor, keep in mind the following recommendations:
The first thing you should do is clean the dust and dirt particles with a vacuum cleaner, this will make cleaning easier.
Spread baking soda on the stains and mop the area with a vinegar solution.
After removing the stains, make a solution of white vinegar and hot water, soak the mop in the mixture and drain very well, avoid excess moisture on the mop because the linoleum floor can absorb this moisture and leave stains.
If the area is heavily trafficked, clean the linoleum floor daily with a mixture of water and detergent.
Lastly, apply a thin coat of specialized floor wax to the linoleum.
Wood floors are gorgeous and highlight your commercial spaces, however, they require proper care; The primary consideration for your wooden floors are the following:
Sweep or vacuum hardwood floors frequently to prevent dirt buildup and fungus growth.
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners, acids, abrasive detergents, or chlorine.
Preferably use a mat at the entrance to your space that collects the greatest amount of dust and dirt.
Place adhesive protectors at the base of furniture, chairs, and tables to prevent scratches.
If you suffer any liquid spill clean immediately to avoid the formation of stains.
If you want to maintain its natural shine after removing dust and dirt, pass a mop moistened with water and vinegar, the vinegar must be previously mixed with the water and never apply it directly to the floor. Finally, give a dry cloth to get a little more shine.
