It restores the original shine and finish of the flooring, enhancing its appearance while reducing scuff marks and discoloration.
Regular machine scrubbing not only improves safety by eliminating slippery substances like grease but also prolongs the life of the flooring by preventing wear and tear. Additionally, it is a cost-effective and time-saving maintenance option, as it covers large areas efficiently and reduces the need for expensive repairs or early replacements. Customizable settings and cleaning solutions make it suitable for various floor types, and the results create a professional impression for customers, employees, and visitors. Overall, machine-scrubbing is an effective way to maintain clean, safe, and attractive floors while protecting your investment.

Floor Care
Proper Use of Ice Melt in the Winter
Ice melt is a crucial tool for maintaining safe walkways and driveways during winter. However, its effectiveness depends greatly on proper usage. Overusing ice melt can harm the environment, damage surfaces, and increase costs without added benefits. This guide will help you understand how to use ice melt effectively while minimizing negative impacts.
Why Proper Use Matters
1. Environmental Impact: Excessive ice melt can runoff into nearby water sources, leading to increased salinity that harms aquatic ecosystems and vegetation.
2. Surface Damage: Overuse may lead to corrosion of concrete, asphalt, and metal structures.
3. Cost Efficiency: Using more ice melt than necessary increases expenses without improving performance.
​
Tips for Proper Ice Melt Use
1. Choose the Right Product:
- Consider temperature ranges and surface compatibility.
- Common types include calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and rock salt (sodium chloride).
2. Read the Label: Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for application rates.
3. Pre-Treat When Possible: Apply ice melt before snowfall to prevent ice from bonding to surfaces.
4. Even Application: Use a spreader or apply by hand, ensuring a thin and even layer.
5. Sweep Up Excess: After ice has melted, sweep up remaining granules to prevent overuse and unnecessary runoff.
​
Signs of Overuse
- White residue on surfaces after snow melts.
- Patches of dead grass or stressed vegetation
near treated areas.
- Corroded metal or damaged concrete in
high-use areas.
​
Alternatives to Reduce Ice Melt Dependence
1. Shoveling: Regularly clear snow before it becomes compacted or turns to ice.
2. Sand for Traction: Use sand or kitty litter to improve traction without adding chemicals.
3. Heated Mats: Invest in heated mats for key areas like entryways or stairs.
​
Conclusion
Using ice melt responsibly ensures safety during icy conditions while protecting the environment, your property, and your wallet. By following these best practices, you can strike a balance between effective ice management and sustainable habits.
Proper Care for Waxed Floors
Waxed floors add a professional, polished look to your business, but maintaining them properly is essential to preserve their shine and durability. Proper care between refinishing not only extends the lifespan of the wax but also reduces overall maintenance costs. This guide outlines best practices for keeping your floors in pristine condition and maximizing the time between refinishing.
​
Why Proper Floor Care Matters
1. Preserve Appearance: Regular maintenance keeps floors looking clean and polished, enhancing your business's professional image.
2. Reduce Wear and Tear: Proper care minimizes scratches, scuffs, and other damage.
3. Save Costs: Extending the time between refinishing reduces the need for frequent professional services.
​
Daily Maintenance Tips
1. Dust Mop Regularly: Use a microfiber dust mop daily to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the wax.
2. Clean Spills Immediately: Address liquid or sticky spills promptly to prevent stains and wax degradation.
3. Use Proper Cleaning Products: Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for pH-neutral floor cleaners recommended for waxed surfaces and cool water - hot water melts the wax.
​
Weekly and Monthly Maintenance
1. Damp Mopping:
- Use a slightly damp mop with a diluted neutral cleaner.
- Avoid excessive water, as moisture can degrade the wax finish.
- Choose the Right Mop Solution: Always use a cleaning solution specifically formulated for waxed floors. Look for pH-neutral and non-abrasive products to prevent damage to the wax layer. Avoid products that leave behind residue or contain ammonia, vinegar, or bleach - and cool water - hot water melts the wax.
2. Buffing:
- Schedule periodic high-speed buffing to restore gloss and remove deeper scuffs.
​
Preventative Measures
1. Use Entry Mats: Place mats at entrances to reduce dirt and grit tracked onto floors.
2. Install Chair Glides: Attach protective glides to furniture legs to prevent scratches.
3. Limit Heavy Traffic: If possible, redirect foot traffic or use area rugs in high-use zones.
​
Signs It’s Time for Refinishing
- Widespread dullness that buffing cannot restore.
- Noticeable wear-through, exposing the flooring material.
- Deep scratches or stains that penetrate the wax layer.
By following these care guidelines, businesses can keep their waxed floors looking professional and extend the time between refinishing. Consistent maintenance not only preserves the beauty of the flooring but also saves money and enhances the overall impression of your space.
