Education – Floor Cleaning For Schools
Floor maintenance in K-12 buildings has always been a challenge. These floors receive high levels of traffic due to hundreds of children changing classes throughout the day. In the past, schools used to have a predictable schedule that allowed for deep cleaning during summer months, where floors could be stripped and finished.
Today, our schools do much more than educate children during the day, they are community centers that host meetings and events in the evening and summer programs for children. The high level of activity around our schools leaves little time for restorative maintenance of floors. Effective maintenance programs for schools require new tools and solutions that get the job done faster using less detergent and less labor while resulting in less downtime.
