Proper Restaurant Floor Cleaning for Different Types of Floors
Kitchen floor cleaning for a restaurant is important for both the overall sanitation and appearance of the business. Different types of flooring in restaurants can make it difficult to get all the surfaces completely clean. Kitchens have grout and tile floors while dining room flooring in the front of the house can be a range of different types. Can you use the same floor cleaning system to effectively clean them all?
The durability, traction, and natural resistance of quarry tile make it an ideal floor surface for high-traffic areas like kitchens, but it takes a lot of work to keep tile floors clean. Natural pores in tile will actually absorb water, oil, and contaminates over time. The grout between tiles is even more porous, resulting in tile that stays filthy even after it’s been cleaned.
Mops are terrible restaurant floor cleaners, yet the standard mopping procedure will spread dirt and soil from the mop leaving the grout covered with contaminates once the floor dries.
Cleaning tile and grout effectively first requires that a cleaning product solution is evenly applied. Uneven spreading of cleaning solution will leave some spots unclean and soiled mop water will just make the floor dirtier.
Kaivac restaurant floor cleaning machines can actually remove the soiled water from the floor, instead of just spreading it around. Vacuuming will also ensure that dirty water is totally removed instead of leaving it behind to darken the grout lines.
Restaurant floor cleaning for the front of the house can be a bit more difficult, since there is no standard flooring type for these areas. Wood and laminate floors, for example, can be tricky since they can be damaged by water.
When wood floor cleaning in restaurants, it’s important to limit exposure to water and cleaning solution. One way is to apply the cleaning solution in a thin layer with a tool such as a microfiber mop. Then, finish cleaning with a wet vacuum system designed for cleaning hard surface floors. This not only leaves the floors completely dry but is also effective at removing soil and potentially harmful contaminants.
