How to choose the most effective floor cleaner?

Are you buying the right floor cleaner for your facility? Read on!

Floor cleaning — Going beyond the visual appeal

floor cleaning mistakes

Of course, it is natural for anyone to want the floor of their spaces to be squeaky clean. Clean floors easily catch any visitor’s eye. To put it the other way, dull, stained, or worn flooring could easily be a sore thumb despite having new furniture, sparkling clean glass windows and doors and other items of décor. But is casting a good impression in front of customers, visitors, and employees the only key reason for floor cleaning?

Safety

If the floors are not properly maintained, they could wear out more quickly, develop surface inconsistencies, and fall apart. Unkempt floors could lead to slips and falls, resulting in injuries and even legal action!

Employee health

Unkempt floors are a haven for germs thanks to the constant foot traffic. A dirty floor is a potential health threat to people occupying the space, especially babies, pets and people with low immunity. You certainly wouldn’t want your unclean floors to be the reason for your employees’ sick leaves.

Employee well-being

Did you know that the cleanliness of the floor impacts the cleanliness of the air in that space? And, it goes without saying that the quality of indoor air is crucial for people’s health and productivity.

Business cost

Floor cleaning is critical to extending the floor’s life. Well-maintained flooring eliminates the need to replace the flooring sooner than necessary.

Tips to keep your floor clean

  • Mop the floor frequently every day to reduce the accumulated dirt and keep the floor stain-free and shining.
  • Clean your equipment immediately after completing your floor cleaning exercise. Clean the mop regularly and keep it dry between cleanings.

  • Use floor mats to arrest the dirt and debris entering your facility through the front door.

While it helps to follow the above guidelines, what truly makes the difference is the choice of the floor cleaner.

The correct floor cleaner makes the difference

A floor cleaner primarily protects your flooring against any damage. However, the market is flooded with a multitude of options. So, if you feel overwhelmed, it’s understandable. This is why we are here to simplify your floor cleaner purchase for you. In this blog, we are going to highlight the main factors you need to consider when choosing a floor cleaner.

The flooring material

Determine the material your floor is made of. Wondering why? Floor cleaners are formulated such that they shine, emulsify and clean the floor without damaging the surface. The choice of the cleaner depends on whether your flooring is oiled wood, bamboo, stone, hardwood or luxury vinyl.

The kind of cleaning

Floor cleaners are of different types based on the usage requirement — germ cleaning, spot-cleaning, deep-cleaning, grease build-up, and so on. Cleaners come in the form of concentrates and ready-to-use formulas. You could dilute the concentrates in a spray bottle and use it.

Brand

When it comes to commercial cleaning, many housekeeping departments prefer to rely on reviews and recommendations to ensure the product’s effectiveness.

Business cost

Floor cleaning is critical to extending the floor’s life. Well-maintained flooring eliminates the need to replace the flooring sooner than necessary.

Human-friendly

This is one criterion that facilities are keen to meet. The floor cleaner must not trigger any allergies or abnormalities in people occupying the space. It is a bonus if the cleaner leaves behind a fresh and uplifting fragrance to soothe the senses.

Affordability

Certainly, this factor can’t be left behind. With businesses recovering from the losses suffered due to the pandemic, businesses are looking for a floor cleaner that is both effective and pocket-friendly.

Who’s the winner then? Crew Disinfectant Floor Cleaner

Goodbye Greasy Kitchen! Sumabrite Degreaser Is Here.

Getting rid of grease on the kitchen counter can’t get easier than this.

A regular day in the kitchen

Keeping the kitchen clean is a task that is easier said than done. Certainly, tackling the stubborn deposits of oils and grease on kitchen counters, cabinets and stove is monotonous, laborious and time-consuming. Commercial kitchens are no less than a racing pit stop. Food preparation in commercial kitchens often happens at a frenetic pace.

The staff in the kitchen tend to overlook the spattered ingredients and spilt oil. To add to this, the grime and dirt on the floor make the kitchen a bigger mess. Keeping the professional kitchen clean is not only a legal mandate, but it is also necessary to win customer satisfaction.

What makes a kitchen greasy?

Aerosolization. Wondering what’s this? The grease in the kitchen comes from the oil you use for cooking. The oil in the pans and utensils melts, heats up, evaporates and sticks to the surface of the kitchen counters, walls and chimney hoppers. These small droplets of oil spit up into the air and float in the air. This process is termed aerosolization. This aerosolized cooking oil sticks to the nearest kitchen surfaces and settles.

Depending on how frequently you clean your kitchen counter, the settled aerosolized oil builds up over time on the kitchen surfaces, leaving them with sticky skin and developing into grease. This grease becomes super sticky if we don’t wash the kitchen counter frequently with an effective degreaser. And, when it comes to degreasing professional kitchens, trust no one but Sumabrite Degreaser and Heavy Duty Cleaner.

Sumabrite — The only word in kitchen degreasing

Say Goodbye To Grimy-Looking Bathroom Fittings

Your easy guide to good-looking bathrooms

Hotel rooms — What makes the first impression?

A great hotel experience is about indulgence. Your hotel room could offer guests uninterrupted relaxation and unwinding through sophisticated décor, brilliant room views and fine services but none of these factors will make an impact if your guests find your hotel bathroom less than sparkling clean and hygienic. Guests usually judge the cleanliness of a room by the state of its sanitation.

Also, most of the guests prefer to inspect the bathroom first as soon as they check into the room. So, if you want your hotel room to set the right impression first, make sure your bathroom fittings are clean and hygienic right from the start.

No grime, no germs.

What makes a bathroom dingy and dirty?

Well, we did an exhaustive Google search on elements that define an unkempt bathroom, and some of the top searches were soap scum and mould or dirt in the grout surrounding and, on the floor. But what spurs the formation of grime?

Soap scum is formed when soap is used in hard water. This scaly formation is usually caused when minerals present in tap water combine with soap and dirt over the surfaces in our bathrooms. Places with hard water are much more likely to report a build-up of soap scum, which if left for too long could be difficult to remove.

According to Dr. Neeta Ogden, a spokesperson for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, frequent running water in the bathroom leads to a build-up of a moist and humid environment that is excellent for the mould to thrive. Unclean, wet surfaces spur mould growth.

Mould loves the corners and nooks between the tiles. The bathroom environment and the constant usage of water is the perfect ground for the mould to grow. The remnant soap scum could combine with mould or mildew and lead to discolouration and odour.

The secret to maintaining bathroom cleanliness

A regular cleaning schedule and usage of the best professional bathroom cleaner are the two ways of ensuring that your hotel bathroom stays squeaky clean. You could choose from an array of bathroom cleaning products available in the marketplace. But make sure they tick the necessary criteria — potency, affordability and scalability. Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler from Diversey Prosumer is the most perfect solution.

This bathroom cleaner and descaler comes with 3 in 1 action formula: It descales, deodourises and cleans hygienically. It is a fully formulated cleaner for cleaning all fittings and walls in the bathroom — sinks, bathtubs, tiles, and fittings like taps, soap holders, and showers.

Benefits:

  • Specifically formulated for use in hard water conditions.
  • Is ideal for cleaning bathroom wall surfaces.
  • Can also be used to clean bathroom floor.
  • Avoids scratching surfaces.
  • Contains actives that prevent scale deposition.
  • Ensures scale removal.
  • Is concentrated for economy of use.
  • Deodorizes and removes stains, ensuring optimum bathroom hygiene.

How to use:

For normal soilage

Step 1: Use 15ml to dilute 1L of water.

Step 2: Spray onto a clean microfibre cloth/sponge and apply to all surfaces to be cleaned.

Step 3: Scrub to remove stains. Clean metal surfaces and fittings thoroughly.

Step 4: Rinse with plain water.

Step 5: Clean and wipe flush handles, seat covers and the outer bowl, after cleaning the toilet bowl.

Step 6: Polish metal surfaces to leave them smear-free.

Step 7: Spray and wipe for daily maintenance.

Bonus content — Microfibre cloth to spruce up your bathroom

A microfibre cloth is the best accompaniment for Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler. It is soft, tough and can absorb liquids well. It serves as a perfect material for cleaning. By using a microfiber cloth, you could reduce the usage of our cleaner and end up saving a lot of time and money.

When cleaning:

  • Faucets: A slight rubbing with a microfibre cloth could bring back the shine to life.
  • Bathtub: Allow Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler to sit for some time in the tub, then rinse it with water and wipe it dry with a microfibre cloth.
  • Shower enclosure: Wiping its glass panels with our cleaner will eliminate the build-up of soapy, hard water.
  • Toilet bowl: Apply Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler to the toilet bowl to avoid ring formation at the water level. Rinse and wipe dry for a stain-free and sparkling bowl.
  • Bathroom tiles: To keep the grout in between the tiles look fresh, apply our cleaner, scrub it with an old toothbrush and wipe dry with a microfibre cloth. The tiles will look fresh, laden and new.

To Conclude

Set the best impression every time by keeping your bathroom squeaky clean with Crew Bathroom Cleaner and Descaler and following the above guidelines. You will be delighted to see your guest satisfaction score soar.
