How To Clean Wooden Floors Properly
How To Clean A Wooden FloorMany people struggle to clean their wooden and parquet floors effectively. Some people polish the floors with standard polish (which is very dangerous), some use water (which damages the top layer of the wood if done repeatedly) and some people just sweep up the dirt and don’t ever treat the wooden flooring with any kind of specialist product.
At A Cleaner Company we treat all wooden floors properly, with our range of specifically designed wood floor cleaning products.
We use specifically designed products to clean wooden floors, and we explain below how to clean wooden floors properly, and follow the following process:
Hoover the floor thoroughly to make sure there is no dirt, gravel or any other type of object on the floor that could scratch the floor.
NEVER use a brush, broom or any similar product to remove this kind of dirt as it could scratch the floor and do permanent damage.
Purchase a good flat mop, with a microfibre attachment. Compliment that with a specific cleaning product that designed for wooden flooring. There are many products on the market today, including products by Bona, or contact us today and we can provide you with a competitively priced version we use.
Polish and clean the floor using your microfibre flat mop, replenishing the polish regularly to give you the best polished result, and also regularly replacing the microfibre attachment when it becomes loaded with dirt and grime.
Correct Tools for Cleaning Wooden FloorsThe Floor should look well polished, and the process should be repeated every couple of days to maintain the best results, and keep the floor looking at its optimum level.
This procedure can also be used on laminate flooring, or any other type of wooden flooring that is available on the market.

What To Consider If You Have A Communal Area That Needs Cleaning
Communal areas can be found in many places including office buildings, schools, blocks of flats, schools, and universities. A communal area can also include lifts and stairwells. Sometimes everyone will have been given responsibility for keeping them clean and sometimes no one will have – communal areas, despite their importance – can often be forgotten!
These areas are important because they are the first places than any visiting member of the public sees when entering the building. If they are dirty or untidy (which they often can be since they are the areas with the most foot traffic) they give a bad representation of the rest of the building, even if everywhere else is clean and sparkling.
It is, therefore, important to work out a daily or weekly cleaning regime for your communal areas. Or, if that is going to be a problem – and with everyone’s busy lives these days it often can be – why not find a cleaning company to do it for you?
When cleaning a communal area it is essential that timing is given due consideration. There is no point in cleaning a communal area only to have it trampled over within moments. Not only that, but it is important from a health and safety point of view that no one is ‘made’ to walk across a wet floor, or to dodge wires from a vacuum cleaner, for example. The best times to clean a communal area need to be assessed in advanced. For those buildings that close at night, night time cleaning is the best way to go. This way, the cleaner won’t be disturbed and neither will the workers or students. For housing this is slightly more tricky. Night time cleaning is possible, although it could disturb people who are trying to sleep. Therefore, the best time would have to be worked out depending on when there are fewest people in the building – assuming the majority work, this would be between 10am and 3pm on most week days.
Cleaning products are another consideration. Allergies are rising year on year, and the chemicals used in cleaning products are one of the main culprits for this. If at all possible, cleaning fluids should be organic and allergen free. Alternatively, it may be possible to ask the tenants if they are allergic to anything in particular, although this could be time consuming.
