Cleaning for health as well as appearance applies to all areas of any commercial facility, including hard surface floors such as ceramic and porcelain tile.  

Foot traffic in these areas can leave dirt, debris and bacteria that often requires ongoing maintenance or in tougher cases, restorative cleaning. Keeping floors in pristine shape is a job for a professional commercial cleaning service. 

Here are some things to consider when hiring a professional cleaning company to maintain your ceramic or porcelain tile floors:

How often should floors be cleaned?

Foot traffic intensity varies depending on which areas see more activity than others. Below are some timelines and guidelines to follow when creating a regular flooring maintenance plan:

• Light Traffic Areas:  Address every 3 to 6 months
• Medium Traffic Areas:  Address every 3 months
• Heavy Traffic Areas:  Address every month

How can I protect ceramic and tile floors?

Furniture and heavy objects should have protectors on their base to protect your floor.  You may want to consider:

• Placing Walk-Off or Track-Off Mats at your entrances to reduce debris from foot traffic entering your building
• Daily Vacuuming & Trash pickup will ensure flooring is kept clean
• Annual Restorative Maintenance. This comprehensive yearly restoration is both proactive and preventative for the care of your floors. Normal wear and tear is expected, and unfortunately accidents do occur, that is why a yearly restorative maintenance program is imperative to increase the longevity of your floors.

What will a commercial cleaning company do for floors?

To avoid damage, our teams first determine what kind of ceramic or porcelain tiles are used on the floor before cleaning. We use the appropriate cleaning methods and agents for your particular floor material, whether they are glazed or unglazed ceramic tiles, or polished, unpolished or textured porcelain. 

We also focus cleaning on grout lines, which can harbor dirt and germs. Our trained technicians will:

• Clean and extract dirt and grime
• Restore your grout and tile color
• Remove odor and bacteria from your grout lines
• Seal your tile and grout
