How to take care of your floors in the fall and winter season?

The autumn and winter period is a time when the weather outside can be very capricious. Floors therefore require special treatment at this time. When it comes to autumn, you cannot be sure of the weather, sometimes it is warm and dry, sometimes it rains. In winter, the weather is even less favorable, it snows and the low temperatures take their toll.

During this time, the floors are subjected to conditions that are unfavorable for maintaining their condition. Even painted ones, where the varnish protects against moisture and temperature fluctuations within certain ranges, also require appropriate protection. Too long contact with water, snow or mud has a negative effect on any type of floor. Therefore, proper maintenance of floors in autumn and protection in winter is extremely important.

How to take care of your floors in the fall and winter season

What does floor maintenance look like in the fall and winter?

Autumn is the time when the floor is often in contact with water and mud. Therefore, it requires quite frequent washing. It is best to use not only ordinary cleaning agents, but also preservatives. Wiping your shoes at the door won’t help much when more people enter the building. After some time, you can see smeared dirt, traces of dirt and mud on the floors, which need to be wiped off regularly. For this purpose, the most suitable cleaning products are not ordinary floor liquids, but those that will ensure cleanliness and maintenance of the floor.

Floor maintenance in autumn is difficult due to changing weather, but using appropriate measures will ensure that it is kept in very good condition. In addition to cleaning and refreshing agents, professional preparations also contain preservatives. This results in greater protection of the floor against unfavorable conditions during this difficult period.

Floor protection in winter – floors in residential houses

Every floor in a residential house is protected to some extent against unfavorable conditions. Maintaining your floor in the fall is one thing, but it requires extra protection in the winter. Most often, during this period, the floor comes into contact with raindrops, snow and even mud particles. Floors made of different types of materials do not react to dirt in the same way. Such conditions have different effects on floors made of varnished wood, panels or tiles. Nevertheless, unremoved contamination will sooner or later result in deterioration of the condition of the floor.

You can deal with this perfectly by using specialized preparations intended for a given surface. One of the valued products is Clinex Nano Protect Floral floor liquid. It is an excellent product for cleaning and protecting water-resistant floors. It does not leave streaks, and after its use, a pleasant scent hangs in the air. Additionally, it protects the floor against harmful substances contained in snow and rainwater until the next cleaning.

What should floor care be like in winter in a large hall?

There is no doubt that it is difficult to care for the floor in a large hall in winter. A company’s production hall or warehouses need special treatment. In winter, first of all, good floor protection against snow is required. Every person who enters the hall brings any contamination with them. In winter, these pollutants are mainly snow and melting water, which often also contains other pollutants and often salt. The task of people responsible for maintaining order is to keep the floor clean.

It is also crucial to take care of the floor during this period so that it resists the absorption of dirt. Special washing machines are often used for such care and washing. With their help, washing becomes faster and removing stubborn stains easier. Moreover, machine cleaning improves the care process. By using a special and professional Clinex 4Hall machine cleaning fluid, caring for the floor and maintaining its full usability becomes much easier. This preparation creates a thin polymer coating, resists dirt deposition and surface destruction. Floors regularly cleaned with a professional preparation stay clean longer and are perfectly preserved until the next cleaning.

Floor protection against snow in the production hall

In the production hall, we usually deal with dirt that is very difficult to remove. Then it may be necessary to use a stronger agent. Without it, floor care in winter may not be effective. Ordinary automatic washing liquid may not cope. The best preparation for this is Clinex M9 Strong . It is an excellent agent for removing heavy dirt. It is best to use it on surfaces resistant to alkaline agents, using ordinary mops or single-disc machines.

How to care for wooden floors in autumn and winter?

Wood is not a material with high water resistance. Although many wooden floors are covered with varnish, they require greater gentleness during periods of increased humidity. As with any other surface, when it becomes dirty with mud or snow, it should be cleaned immediately. It is worth using special agents containing substances that preserve wooden floors every day. They leave a special protective layer on the surface and make subsequent cleaning much easier. The key to caring for wooden floors during the winter is to react immediately. Immediate removal of any contamination will prevent water from penetrating into the wood structure.

Floors in stores are also susceptible to dirt

Many store owners worry about the condition of their floors in the fall and winter. Facilities with direct entrance from the street are particularly vulnerable. In shopping malls, this problem is much smaller because most of the pollution remains in the corridors. However, in such facilities there is also a risk of contamination or even destruction of the floor. We accumulate not only mud but also road salt under the sole. This, together with sand particles, likes to crumble from under shoes. These are often minor contaminants that are easy to miss. Therefore, to keep the floor in the store in perfect condition, we need to clean it more often. When the weather outside is not pleasant, it is worth mopping the floor in the store several times a day. Especially when many customers pass through it. This will ensure cleanliness and protect the substrate against the harmful effects of salt and sand.
