From clients to everyday visitors, your facility’s flooring can set the tone for their experience. Walking into a facility with scratched and scuffed up tile floors, stained carpets, or discolored concrete can turn off your customers, potential tenants, and prospective employees. Working with a professional commercial floor cleaning company will start you off on the right foot.
The First Impression
Ever heard the expression, “from the ground up?” Most everyone has. Everything begins at ground level, with the floor. The floors in your facility, whether they are modern, polished concrete or traditional carpets, are the first thing anyone will see upon walking through your doors. While it’s unlikely that a customer isn’t going to make a purchase because they notice a smudge on the floor or that an interviewee is going to turn away a job offer because the carpets look a little dusty, these things are cumulative. In other words, a dirty office carpet might not encourage other cleanliness practices from your employees and a dirty retail floor space might not encourage customers to return.
Clean, well-maintained flooring sends a message to everyone inside your facility. First, employees are less likely to adopt unclean habits if they are in a clean environment already, particularly their workplace. By extension, clean floors improve the general mood in your space. When people feel better at work, they work harder.
Hook: Clean floors are key to creating a welcoming image for your overall brand. Whether you have customers and visitors regularly visiting your establishment or just a few regular employees, clean floors convey a sense of pride.
Concrete, Tile, and Other Hard Floors
Hard floors can be beautiful. From shiny, polished concrete to elegant tiles, hard floors are practical and relatively easy to maintain. Maintain, though, is the key word. Having an experienced commercial floor cleaning service come by to regularly polish your hard floors can protect your initial investment. If floors are cleaned improperly or not often enough, hard floors can tarnish, requiring more expensive repairs to bring back the original finish.
Depending on your floor type, Kep Klen’s routine hard floor services include stripping, sealing, waxing, and buffing to ensure your floors always look like new. We will even go to work on old floors to remediate stains, poorly sealed sections of flooring, or even unattractive finishes. Plus, did you know that certain coatings and finishes can even help prevent slips and falls? Keeping your facility beautiful while protecting employees and visitors doesn’t have to be a trade-off.
The Advantages of Carpeting
Particularly for office environments, carpeting can create a comfortable feel, offers sound dampening qualities, and virtually eliminates the risk of slips and falls. However, carpeting has different cleaning requirements versus hard flooring. Aside from simply vacuuming, carpets should occasionally, but regularly, be shampooed and deep cleaned to prevent them from fading and becoming unattractive. If your carpet has a warranty, improper cleaning methods can even void that warranty and damage the material itself. To keep your carpet looking nice for its entire lifespan, make sure you check with your provider to ensure they have experience with carpet cleaning. Carpets are an investment just like any other flooring. Many businesses are turning to carpet tiles, which are easy to replace if damaged. However, it is still important to carefully maintain cleaning best practices. Replaceable carpet tiles are no substitute for thorough cleaning.
Maintaining Your Floors
Like with other parts of your facility maintenance strategy, including HVAC, lighting, and more, preventing issues before they balloon into real problems is key. Some facility managers may think, “well, I can cut my maintenance costs if I just get the floors stripped and waxed yearly instead of every six months,” but this doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. For one, that dramatic transformation in the aesthetics of your floors every year will only draw attention to how filthy they had become. Second, attractive floors will pay dividends by creating a welcoming place where people want to live, work, or shop. From commercial floor tile to your average carpet, it’s important to stay on top of your floors. Make sure that, whichever provider you choose, they have the proper commercial floor cleaning machines, like commercial floor scrubbers. If you’re asking yourself, “where can I find a quality commercial floor cleaning service near me?” Just turn to Kep Klen.
