There are many kinds of flooring surfaces, and it’s not common to have knowledge of every flooring type, and what cleaning solution is best for each of them. If you want to make the most of your flooring, however, understanding how to clean all surfaces is crucial. One part of cleaning is understanding what cleaning liquid is best to use. Deciding on a liquid for floor cleaning boils down to a few key questions.
“How Dirty is My Floor?”
This question is applicable to practically all types of flooring. Sometimes, you only need to do a brief tidying up of the area, and other times, a deeper and more thorough cleaning is needed. You’ll usually need a floor cleaning liquid whenever deep cleaning is necessary.
You won’t need to use it all of the time, however. The frequency at which you clean your floors will depend on how much foot traffic they get. The more foot traffic a floor gets, the more often it needs to be cleaned.
“Is It a Carpeted Floor?”
It will only take a glance at your floor to answer this question. Carpeting, typically, doesn’t need to be cleaned with detergents because regular vacuuming is done. Industrial carpets will only have to get vacuumed a few times per week, though facilities with more foot traffic, such as schools, will need them cleaned every day.
With that said, deep cleaning will still be necessary on occasion. When it’s time for deep floor cleaning, apply a pre-treating agent to the surface to help remove any dirt on the carpet. Consider how your cleaning solution will impact your carpet long-term. You can reach out to a professional cleaning company to get advice on what floor cleaning solution is most suitable for your carpet.
“Is My Flooring Coated or Uncoated?”
There are all kinds of floor cleaning solutions, both for light-duty jobs and for more general cleaning. You’ll find solutions that work on uncoated and coated floors alike. However, there are still many cleaning options that fall within each category, so your decision is still going to be tricky. Proper use of these solutions should also be taken into account.
As an example, hardwood flooring can be cleaned using liquid cleaners, but only if you’re quick about it because you don’t want wood exposed to water long-term. Tile floors need floor cleaning solutions that aren’t abrasive.
