4 Tips For Keep Your Floors Looking Great After They Are Waxed

Blog

If you have your business floors professionally waxed, you are going to want to make sure that you keep them looking great. Here are four tips that will help you keep your floors looking shiny for as long as possible.

#1 Use Neutral Floor Cleaners

To start with, you may need to change the chemicals you use to clean your floor. You should only use chemicals to clean your floor that are neutral. That means that they have a neutral pH level or are a solvent. Also, read the label before you clean and make sure that it is safe to use on wax floors. Not all floor cleaners are designed for wax floors. You don't want to use a floor cleaner that slowly strips the wax away; you'll end up needing to pay for a professional cleaning job way too soon.

#2 Clean With Microfiber

When you have a waxed floor, you don't need to always mop or sweep your floor. Use a floor map with a dry microfiber cloth on it. Microfiber is great for cleaning waxed floors. It is able to easily pick up dirt and debris. Microfiber cleaning clothes also does a great job at picking up and removing liquid from the floor. The great thing about microfiber cleaning tools is that they are not that abrasive, which means that they will not wear down your new wax floors and will preserve your wax floors for as long as possible.

#3 Keep Your Equipment Clean

Make sure that you keep all the equipment that you use to clean your newly wax floors clean. Clean out your mop while you are mopping and don't every use dirty water to clean with. Wipe down your vacuum cleaner and make sure that it is clean. Rinse out your broom to get rid of debris. Don't allow particles to build up on your cleaning equipment; that could wear down the wax coating on your floor.

#4 Do Touch-Ups

If there are areas of your floor that get more traffic than the rest of your home, you can do touch-ups in between major wax jobs. You can apply a quick coat of wax on your own to areas that get a lot of traffic. This will help your high traffic areas look as great as your low traffic areas. 

Use neutral floor cleaners, spot clean with a microfiber cloth, keep your cleaning equipment clean and touch-up the wax on your floors to keep your wax floors in good shape. For more information, contact a business such as Peerless Building Maintenance.
