Understanding Different Floor Types and Their Needs

Businesses in corporate offices, medical facilities, and educational institutions have unique needs when selecting flooring. Each type requires its own approach when considering floor cleaning services.

Hardwood, tile, natural stone, carpet – each needs a specific approach. Applying a generic cleaning solution isn't best for all types of flooring.

Hard Surface Floors: Beyond the Basics

Many commercial spaces use hard surface floors for durability. Think of vinyl composition tile (VCT), asphalt tile, rubber, laminate, ceramic, or even porcelain.

Regular cleaning with dust mops prevents scratching. But what about areas with heavier wear, those seemingly never-ending marks?

Cleaning services need to get to those deep grooves.

Wood Floors: Preserving Their Character

Wood floors, with their rich texture and classic look, enhance a room's atmosphere. Improper maintenance can lead to damage or costly replacements.

A dedicated wood floor cleaning process might use specialized scrubbers with solutions. This is followed up with protection or added shine.

The Challenge of Natural Stone

Natural stone surfaces such as travertine, marble, or granite require cleaning that protects the stone's integrity. Using a special low-pressure wash helps preserve your stone floors.

This maintains that sense of opulence. Finishing with a three-step cleaning helps bring back that shine.

Carpet Cleaning: Removing Hidden Threats

Carpet might appear clean, but those fibers often hold dirt, dust, and allergens. Did you know indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air?

Regular vacuuming is good, but for a deeper clean carpet, use hot water extraction. The EPA notes that some carpet cleaners use “Safer Choice” cleaning solutions.

Area Rugs: Protecting Statement Pieces

Area rugs soften a space and add warmth. Regular rug cleaning will add longevity and value.

You can remove dirt and allergens with a gentle approach for preserving intricate designs. A cleaning service would know to remove any set-in dust and odors from their surroundings.

Why Professional Floor Cleaning Services are Worth the Investment

It's a misconception that cleaning can be done just as effectively on your own. The costs may outweigh any potential time lost in having to re-do something a professional should have handled.

Outsourcing specialized cleaning allows your company to focus on your brand and bottom line. This lets you focus on tasks you set for company initiatives rather than trying to teach an in-house cleaning team something new.

The Impact on Your Brand

The way a company operates starts when employees and clients walk in. This includes those who maintain and service their everyday surroundings.

Clean surfaces give confidence in knowing things are taken care of to maintain your brand. Think of clean office buildings as reflections of that company.

Healthier Work Environment

Dust, grime, and allergens impact air quality. Poor air circulation can make existing allergies to particles, like dust, even more bothersome.

Clean air means happier employees and reduced absences. This extends beyond surfaces to things you cannot see with specialized air duct services.

Long-Term Cost Savings

It might seem counterintuitive, but consistent professional cleaning services can save you money. Keeping flooring maintained saves costs associated with unnecessary refurbishing.

Preventive care prevents significant issues like replacing prematurely. It’s like getting regular check-ups for your car.

The BMI Janitorial Difference: Expertise and Reliability

There's a comfort that comes from knowing a task is completed right the first time. Having technicians promptly fix issues when emergencies arise ensures operations stay consistent.

Years of Proven Results

Imagine working with a company that has a record spanning 30 years of success. What a better, well-established team to gather valuable industry insight.

For over 30 years, BMI has stayed focused to keeping business environments consistently clean. What you're looking for is expertise by your side, through all sorts of situations, or unexpected emergencies.

Certified Professionals, Not Just "Cleaners"

Going beyond work experience involves endorsements from governing bodies, showcasing a professional's skills. Certified cleaners use approved supplies and updated floor cleaning processes.

A team of experts is well-versed in best practices. Professional certifications matter in a field where cleanliness regulations are essential.

A Commitment to Safety

Slipping is one of those situations where we think, "This won't happen to me." Until, all of a sudden, it does.

Some cleaners lack the knowledge to avoid cross-contamination. They might spread harmful bacteria by unknowingly using a soiled towel on surfaces.

A cleaning professional will have the necessary protocols in place to avoid slips, trips, and falls, keeping everyone safe, these include:

- Proper signage indicating wet floors clean in progress.
- Using appropriate cleaning solutions and equipment to prevent residue buildup.
- Moving furniture, if applicable, to prevent tripping hazards.
- Performing regular inspections to address any potential issues quickly.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning

The cleaning method has changed, focusing on health. It's about minimizing harsh chemicals for long-term health.

BMI is dedicated to providing a better standard of health-focused cleaning. It's now an expectation, not an exception.

If water damage strikes, we are trained to mitigate any risks, preventing any damage strikes to other areas of the office.

How the Right Floor Cleaning Approach Works

Cleanliness that speaks for you begins when your flooring says positive things about your business. Consider its impact.

Detailed Assessment First

Each flooring type has specific traits to watch for. You need professionals to walk through your areas before deciding on the best plan.

BMI Janitorial assesses surfaces based on flooring traits. They keep records to analyze issues for future service.

Customized Cleaning Plans

No two facilities have the same floor cleaning challenges. Some might have children, while others deal with sensitive materials.

The goal is that perfect-fit solution. This uses tools best for handling a situation, minimizing damage from harsh chemicals.

Advanced Techniques and Technology

Experienced crews stay updated on floor cleaning evolution. For example, truck-mounted vacuums for air duct cleaning have superior tools that improve efficiency.

There are high-speed auto scrubbers and hot water extraction for deep cleaning. For tile floors, there are methods to extract grime for keeping grout cleaning looking restored.

Here's an overview of steps for floor cleaning, according to floor cleaning SOPs.

Ongoing Maintenance, Not Just One-Off Cleaning

Plan for more consistent floor cleaning service. As opposed to relying on occasional services for major clean-ups.
‍
Like with vehicles, consistent upkeep minimizes breakdowns. Maintaining cleaning for the company provides more effective workflow.
‍
Consider these added options on top of the normal floor cleaning services.
‍
- Dryer vent cleaning to maintain a safe work environment.
- Professional air duct cleaning services for common household issues.
- Speak with a customer service representative to address and handle the business privacy policy, when applicable.
- Commercial facilities can find solutions to expand to possible franchise opportunities.
- Verticals such as building cleaning services for those needing support at larger scale.
- BMI handles special programs such as being a qualified vendor under the national account program.
- Schedule to speak with an BMI agent, by providing them your zip code to find availability.
