It's true that tiled and hardwood floors look fantastic and certainly improve the appearance of your office when clients call in. Unfortunately they can also be really hard to clean. You could actually be making your job more difficult and creating a lot more work by making one or more of these common errors:
1. Learning to run before you can walk: Floor stripping is definitely an art, and it takes time to learn how to do it properly. The only way to ensure the whole floor ends up looking perfect is to try out your skills on a small corner, then once you're confident you can complete the job in a professional manner you can tackle the whole floor.
2. Not having the correct tools and equipment: Have you ever tried to hammer a nail with a blunt end of a screwdriver? That's how hard it would be trying to do a floor stripping job without having the right tools.
3. Having no knowledge of the correct cleaning products to use: You must be very sure you understand what chemicals can be used on what floor - it's not just one chemical for all when it comes to floor stripping.
4. Using mops and buckets that were used for something else: Be sure to use clean water and equipment to avoid making an unnecessary mess.
5. Wearing clothes unfit for the job: Your clothing must be protective, and this should include gloves, goggles and enclosed non-slip shoes.
6. Put out safety signs for all to see: When doing anything involving floors make sure that safety cones and ‘slippery-when-wet’ signs are easily visible.
7. Overextending the work area: Section off the part of the floor you're working on and strip your floors in easy to manage sections.
8. Improperly diluting the floor stripper: Carefully follow the instructions and if you're not sure, opt for using cold water to dilute the chemicals for the safest and best results.
9. Walking over the floor before it has dried: This can undo all your good work. If you’ve left something on the other side of the room and painted yourself into a corner so to speak, wait until the floor is completely dry.
10. Using a wet/dry vacuum and not using a defoamer: With industrial process liquids a defoamer is necessary to stop the formation of foam on the finished surface.
These are some common mistakes people make, but they're also easy to avoid. There should be no reason for your floors to suffer needlessly.
