Step 1 - Daily dust mopping and/or sweeping
Now that you have finished your wood
floor, it's time to put a maintenance program in place. Dirt and dust work like
sandpaper on your floor finish. If it is not removed, it will scratch and dull
your finish.
The
easiest and best way to delay this process is to sweep and / or
dust
mop daily. If you choose to sweep your floors, be sure to use a flagged
broom head. This will help to pick up the finer dirt and dust particles. When
using a cotton dust mop, be sure to treat the mop with KSS Dust Mop Treatment.
If you choose to use a synthetic dust mop, dust mop treatment should not be
used.
Regular maintenance, by sweeping or dust
mopping has been proven to extend the life of your floor finish. This ultimately
will lower your labor and product costs. By spending a few moments a day on this
simple task, your end result will be to lower your overall operating costs. Put
simply: Your floor will shine for a longer time.
Step 2 - Weekly / Monthly Mopping
Now
that your sweeping program is in place, we need to take care of dirt and dust
that sweeping won't get. For this, pick up a KSS Mop Head and Handle, a Mop
Bucket and some Super Shine-All by Hillyard (a neutral cleaner with a pleasant
sassafras scent). It will lift the dirt and dust up and off the floor. Again,
the goal of this is to reduce the sandpaper effect the dirt and dust have on the
floor finish.
If you have a floor machine available,
Super Shine-All will actually help restore the shine to your floor. To do this,
you simply buff the floor with a white buffing pad (3M) after mopping.
