The Ultimate Floor Care Plan: Keep Your Floors Looking Their Best

At GRIME TIME, INC., we know that spotless, well-maintained floors are the foundation of a professional, welcoming space. Whether you're managing a bustling restaurant or a high-traffic commercial kitchen, a proper floor care plan ensures safety, longevity, and a clean, polished appearance. Let’s walk through the essential steps of our comprehensive floor care program—one designed to keep your floors shining day in and day out.

1. Daily Cleaning: The Foundation of Great Floors

Daily cleaning is the backbone of any floor care plan. Dirt, grease, and debris can quickly build up, especially in high-traffic areas like restaurant dining rooms and kitchen floors. Our daily cleaning process includes:

  • Sweeping and Mopping: Removing surface dirt and spills to prevent scratches and stains.

  • Spot Cleaning: Addressing problem areas like grease spots or sticky spills before they cause permanent damage.

Regular attention prevents grime from embedding in your floors, making future maintenance easier and more effective.

2. Burnishing: Restoring That High-Gloss Shine

Over time, daily wear and tear can dull the finish on your floors. That’s where burnishing comes in. This high-speed process buffs the floor to restore its original shine, keeping it looking new.

  • How Often: Weekly or bi-weekly, depending on traffic.

  • The Process:

    • Using a high-speed floor machine, we smooth out scratches and scuffs.

    • The result? A glossy, polished finish that reflects your commitment to cleanliness.

Burnishing not only enhances appearance but also extends the life of your floor's finish, saving you money in the long run.

3. Top Coat Scrub: Refresh and Protect

Even with daily cleaning and burnishing, floors need deeper care to maintain their integrity. A top coat scrub is the perfect mid-level maintenance step.

  • What It Does: Removes embedded dirt and restores the protective layer without stripping the entire finish.

  • When to Schedule: Every 3-6 months, or when the floors start to lose their protective sheen.

  • The Benefits:

    • Rejuvenates the floor's surface.

    • Prepares the floor for a new layer of finish, enhancing durability and shine.

This step bridges the gap between daily care and full restoration, keeping your floors protected and looking great.

4. Strip and Wax: A Fresh Start

When regular maintenance isn’t enough, it’s time for a full strip and wax. This intensive process removes all old finishes and applies a fresh, protective coat, giving your floors a completely renewed look.

  • How It Works:

    • Strip: We use a powerful floor stripper to remove all layers of wax, dirt, and buildup.

    • Wax: We apply multiple coats of high-quality wax for a durable, long-lasting finish.

  • Frequency: Annually or as needed, depending on the level of wear and tear.

A professional strip and wax brings your floors back to life, ensuring they look flawless and stand up to heavy traffic.
