WHY MAINTENANCE ?
|
|
Whether in your business or residence, a well maintained
floor will help to protect and preserve its original finish and
luster. Also it will help to keep dirt, oils and other harmful materials
from penetrating the floors often porous surface. Finally, one of
the most important reasons to maintain your flooring is to ensure
that its slip resistant characteristics are preserved. With proper
treatment, your floor will provide your clients and guests with
a safe surface to walk on.

There are several reasons why
your floors should be properly maintained
|
| MAINTAINING
THE FINISH - Regardless of the finish type, the main reason
we maintain a stone product is to preserve and keep the desired
finish. If the desired finish proves to be difficult it may
be time to implement a maintenance program, re-think your existing
program or opt for restoration. |

KEEPING IT CLEAN -The
second reason we maintain a stone product is to keep it clean.
We should not confuse shine with cleanliness. Just becaus
a floor has a high polish does not mean that it is clean.
Mopping should be performed with the right cleaners to pick
up the dirt and protect the floor materials intrinic properties.
The biggest mistake we see with wet mopping is not changing
the cleaner. The cleaner must be changed often. This little
tip can prevent streaking, sticky floors and the shine will
last longer. Also, separate mops should be used to clean the
stone floors from those used to clean other surfaces. By following
these simple rules your stone floors will maintain their beauty
and durability for years to come..

SAFETY - Safety should
be at the top of the list when it comes to reasons to properly
maintain your floors. We emphasize how important slip-resistance
is to a stone floor. Stone flooring is one of the most slippery
surfacesavailable. Dirt, soiling, dirty mop water and old
waxes all contribute the reduction of a stone floors slip-resistance.
With proper maintenance you will ensure that your floors remain
slip-resistant and safe.
