Commercial Floor Cleaning FAQ

Looking to learn more about the process of commercial floor cleaning? The ServiceMaster Twin Cities team answered some of the most common commercial floor cleaning questions to help you ensure the health and cleanliness of your facility’s flooring. Let’s dig in.

Can I Use Urethane Finish to Strip Floors?

If necessary, you can strip the urethane to start fresh. However, once they reach their end of the cycle, they can get recoated and abraded without stripping. ServiceMaster Twin Cities offers you high-quality floor care service using products that can go a long way.

How Long Do Urethane Floors Last?

It mainly depends on the traffic in your space and the use and cleaning of the floors. Generally, urethane-coated floors have a life expectancy of two years.

Does Professional Hardwood Floor Cleaning Cost More than Revamping Them?

Well, no. Professional hardwood cleaning will cost you much less money than purchasing and installing new floors. You can contact ServiceMaster Twin Cities to get an estimate on commercial hardwood floor cleaning.

Can I Use Standard Household Cleaning Products?

Avoid using oil soap, wax, and other regular household cleaners on your hardwood floors. These products can damage the finish of your floors and make refinishing impossible to do. Go for WoodGlo Neutral Cleaner, and use it weekly with a microfiber flat mop.

How Frequently Do I Need My Floors Cleaned?

Regular office cleaning is important, as it reduces the risk of contamination in your facility. It is important that you get your floors cleaned professionally every 6 to 12 months. Contact our floor care team today to receive a cleaning quote.

Will There Be a Remaining Odor?

There may be a faint scent of cleaning products shortly after you clean the floors. Don’t worry, any scent will fade and go away over time.

Generally, the odor won’t last longer than an hour. If your space has bad air circulation and struggles with humidity problems, then it can take more than a day. Using water-based finishes is best because they don’t cause harmful fumes, like oil-based finishes. So, even if it took time, you don’t have to worry about putting your employees at risk of exposure to dangerous fumes.
