Industrial Floors and Coating Maintenance Tips

         Once the industrial floor coating process is complete, a business is left with a brilliant, gleaming new floor that is attractive to walk across and free of dirt and grime. It’s worth a little extra time and effort to keep your facility looking that way, although proper maintenance for industrial floor is easy to overlook. Pay attention to a few basic chores and you will maximize the service life of your company’s industrial floor coating.

There are certain maintenance tasks that should be completed every day, especially for heavy industrial facilities or floors that experience a lot of foot traffic. Floors should be swept every day and also mopped if abrasive particles or grease start to build up on the floor. Common household detergents will work well when mopping, but the detergents should be rinsed well from the floor as they can wear down the floor coating.

Regardless of dirt buildup, industrial floors should be mopped at least once per week. When using a detergent or cleanser to mop, make sure to use the proper concentration of liquid as outlined on the container. Using too much chemical can harm the floor or yourself.

In some industrial applications, such as where a no-skid surface is required, textured floor systems are used. These systems often need extra attention. A floor brush with stiff bristles should be used while mopping to free dirt trapped into the textured areas of the flooring.
