Spring and summer are the best times to consider professional floor care. Dirt, grime, and outdoor elements from winter months can build up, causing potential hazards, and damages. The state of your floors sets the tone for your entire business. A clean and well-maintained building environment starts from the ground up!
Professional cleaning of hard floors goes beyond general sweeping or mopping – a routine scrub tackles many facility issues. It contributes to its overall appearance and safety, sending a message to customers, visitors, and employees. Your professional reputation and credibility can be reflected in your facility’s upkeep and can lead to negative interactions or poor employee productivity.
Let’s dive into why it’s important to establish a floor care plan for your facility this season:
Impacts on Facility Health
Dirty floors can harbor odors and bacteria, negatively impacting the health of your facility’s environment. Unpleasant smells can deter customers and clients from returning, while routine sweeping and mopping often fail to reach deep-seated grime in floor cracks, grout, and other hard-to-reach areas. Prioritizing your facility’s cleanliness reflects your professionalism and operational standards. Scheduling professional cleaning promotes a healthier workplace, creating an environment that both customers and staff will appreciate.
Slip & Fall Safety
Slips and falls are a concern in every business setting. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slips and falls account for over 1 million hospital emergency room visits annually. Professional floor care ensures that floors are not only clean but safe, potentially protecting your business’s liability. By assessing the right cleaning, waxing, and recoating methods, professionals can help reduce the risks of accidents so you can protect your facility and visitors, and avoid the potential costs:
-
- The average cost to defend a slip and fall lawsuit is $50,000 (National Floor Safety Institute)
-
- The average worker’s compensation cost for falls or slips is $49,971 (National Safety Council)
-
- OSHA can fine businesses $1,500 per potential incident location (CleanLink)
Slippery, worn-down floors can cause major, costly accidents. Injuries, liability claims, and OSHA violations can significantly impact your business operations and reputation. Schedule floor care services before it’s too late!
Preserving Flooring Longevity
Different types of flooring require specific cleaning techniques to maintain their integrity and appearance. Professional cleaners understand the nuances and will use the appropriate methods to clean and protect each flooring type, whether it’s wood, concrete, vinyl, tile, or laminate. Techniques such as stripping, waxing, scrubbing, and recoating are employed to keep floors looking their best and functioning optimally for longer. Floor maintenance provides optimal traction and shine, keeping them in their best condition. Attempting these tasks without expert knowledge can result in floor damage, warping the surface, and potentially necessitating costly replacements.
Cost-Saving Benefits
Investing in professional floor cleaning can save you both time and money in the long run. Regular maintenance prevents the accumulation of dirt and grime, which can cause damage over time if neglected. By addressing issues early on, professionals can fix minor damages before becoming costly repairs. Additionally, well-maintained floors are less likely to require premature replacement, further enhancing your cost savings.
