Maintaining cleanliness and caring for floors in facilities with high pedestrian traffic can be very difficult. This topic should be approached with great commitment and professionalism, because it is not only about aesthetics, but also the safety of users.

From the article you will learn:

How to overcome sand and moisture?

Sand and moisture brought into the building on footwear negatively affect our safety. They make the surface slippery and you can easily get into an accident. Pollution of any kind also causes the degradation of the top layer of the floor. They wear it off, which makes the floor more and more slippery and dangerous and loses its shine and nice appearance. Effective protection will be a properly designed and constructed cleaning system, which includes, among others, the appropriate selection of cleaning machines, professionally trained employees and the appropriate selection of cleaning chemicals.

Professionalism is the key to cleanliness

When considering the choice of chemicals, we should, first of all, forget about cleaning agents available in supermarkets and opt for professional chemicals, because it will only bring us benefits. The main advantages of professional chemicals are much better effectiveness thanks to the use of stronger, faster-acting detergents and specialized additives that protect the washed surfaces against quick destruction and against dirt penetrating into micro-scratches. Another advantage is their high concentration and, as a result, better efficiency, thanks to which we can use much less of the preparation. All this means that the use of professional chemicals is more economically beneficial and brings better cleaning results. Professional chemicals also have the advantage of containing substances that accelerate the drying of the washed surface. This is very important, especially in a facility with high traffic. This affects people’s safety and the cleanliness of the floor.

Cleaning with a lot of responsibility

Facilities with high traffic require us to use specialized preparations. We should get rid of the illusion that we will be able to clean the entire facility with one preparation. This is due to the variety of materials used on floors. We will use different preparations when cleaning the floor in the toilet ( Clinex M3 Acid ) and completely different ones when washing the corridors of the facility. A distinction should also be made between daily and thorough washing, and hand and machine washing. An excellent product for everyday cleaning of all types of surfaces using a machine is Clinex M6 Medium . This preparation quickly and effectively removes impurities and leaves a long-lasting, pleasant scent. It can also be used for hand washing.

For the periodic cleaning process, we recommend Clinex M9 Strong . It is a concentrated preparation with strong cleaning properties that can cope with heavily soiled surfaces and accumulated dirt. If we are dealing with a facility with high traffic and at the same time a large area, the best solution will be to use Clinex 4Hall , a liquid intended for maintaining the cleanliness and care of all waterproof floors. Effectively removes stubborn, even difficult to wash dirt. It creates a delicate polymer coating that protects against subsequent dirt and facilitates the ongoing care process. These polymers also ensure that the washed surface dries very quickly and does not impede pedestrian traffic.

Proportions are important

When washing the floor, it is very important to prepare a liquid solution of the appropriate concentration. Contrary to appearances, this is very important. Using too little liquid will not wash the dirt, and using too much will result in a build-up of detergents, to which dirt will stick over time and, as a result, the floor will become dirtier. The product should always be used in the amount specified by the manufacturer on the packaging. This can be done manually or using special automatic dispensers that will measure the appropriate amount of liquid for us. We can then be sure that the prepared cleaning solution is properly prepared. Amtra can equip us with such dispensers, and a professional service technician will take care of their installation, set the appropriate dosage and ensure their technical efficiency. The company will also provide advice and training on the use of professional cleaning chemicals.

Thanks to professional attention to the care and cleaning of floors, we will gain not only lasting aesthetic values, but above all, safe and user-friendly conditions.
