Wood flooring has become the choice for many
top retailers, restaurants and other commercial settings in
the U.S. and abroad. Wood floors can create an impression of
elegance, warmth and naturalness and contribute to defining
an individual ambience. In order to sustain that peak impression
wood floors require regular maintenance. One of the most common
fallacies surrounding wood floors is that wood floors can be
difficult to maintain. In truth, wood floors can be one of the
easiest flooring materials to care for.
Technical advances have created protective
coatings designed to keep wood floors looking their best with
simple maintenance steps.
Good maintenance practices will inevitably:
- Help promote the image every store works
hard to establish and maintain.
- Protect your wood floor investment and enhance
the life of the floor.
- Enhance the in-store experience by exhibiting
a clean, warm and inviting appearance.
The Elements of Good Maintenance
Grit and dirt are the most common culprits
when it comes to premature wear and tear on a wood floor. Vacuuming
or sweeping daily or more frequently will help to minimize the
wear and tear on a wood floor.
The cleaner the wood floor, the longer it will
look fresh and new. Basic Squeaky Cleaner is especially formulated
for regular use on urethane finishes such as Basic Street Shoe®
and will pick up just about any contaminant drug in on customers'
feet and return the floor to its original luster. Restaurants
and other floors prone to greasy buildup may periodically need
more aggressive cleaning with Basic IFT. Spot clean as needed
with Basic Squeaky Cleaner. Keep a bottle of Basic Squeaky Cleaner
behind the store counter for quick pick up of spills or other
messes. The sooner a mess is removed, the easier it is to clean
up and prevent tracking.
Basic has designed a Wood Floor Care
Kit that includes Squeaky Cleaner and a specially designed swivel
mop with a terrycloth cover. This kit is ideal to have on hand
for spot cleaning, or regular cleaning by onsite employees.
