Whether it be a grimy carpet, stained wood or dusty laminate, floors get dirty. You may not spend a lot of time looking at the floors within your work premises, but if it’s due a clean, visitors will notice. Taking care of your office floors is an essential part of ensuring the overall space looks fresh, clean and tidy. You may not realise, but it says a lot more about your business than one might expect.
Cleaning your Office Floor
Of course, flooring comes in such a variety of styles. This means that you may not be an expert in exactly how it should be taken care of. Not to worry, the experts at Absolutely Gleaming are here to help. Here are some quick tips to help you keep your floors clean, no matter what material they may be!
Cleaning your Office Carpets
Carpeting may be one of the easiest to handle in terms of floor maintenance. Of course, spills and crumbs might cause a disruption to the cleaning flow, especially in high-traffic areas. For many workplaces, a bi-weekly hoover should be more than enough to keep the dirt at bay. It’s also important to treat stains the moment they occur as well!
It would be wise to supplement this regular maintenance with a monthly or quarterly deep clean. Though you could rent or purchase a carpet cleaning machine, we recommend hiring a professional cleaning service to leave the carpets looking good as new.
Cleaning Laminate Office Flooring
Laminate flooring is often a low maintenance option for many workplaces. However, this option tends to show signs of damage and use quickly if not cared for on a regular basis. All it takes is a simple sweep to free the laminate floor of dust and debris. However, it is important to take extra care when removing sharp or larger debris. These pieces can scratch and cause permanent damage. This may lead to investing in a replacement. Finally, it’s important to give the floors a weekly mop. It won’t require too much water and should be enough to keep the floors looking their best for as long as possible.
Cleaning Wooden Office Floors
Wooden floors are designed to be versatile and last for many years, all while staying stylish! This means, that for them to look fresh over the years, you must pay special attention to how you clean and care for them. We recommend you sweep them on a daily basis to avoid a build-up of large debris that could cause damage. You should also give your wooden floors a weekly mop. Doing so will help to cut down on dust and remove any stubborn mess that may have built up over the week.
Of course, time is not always our best friend. As the years go by, it is likely that your wooden floors will begin to show signs of scratching and fading. This will certainly be obvious in high footfall areas. Luckily, removing the marks is an easier task than one might expect. A simple re-sanding and varnish are all it takes to make it look brand new!
