Reasons for A Dirty Floor: What’s Causing It?

Floors can be dirty for several reasons. Chemical overuse, environmental effects and foot traffic can cause your hard surface floor to look dirty.

Soap Overuse

Many people make the mistake of overusing soap thinking it makes the floor super clean. That’s far from the truth. Using too much cleaning products can cause soap residue to accumulate on the floor which leads to the second problem.

Inadequate Rinsing

The traditional mop method increases film build-up on the surface. The more soap you use, the more rinsing it will require. If your floor looks dirty, it can be due to inadequate rinsing. You should always follow your floor cleaning with plain water to rinse the surface off and let it dry to get rid of film build-up.

Dirty Mop Head

If you’re using a mop to clean the floor, you should regularly check its head to ensure it’s not dirty. Your floor may look dirty after cleaning if you’re using a dirty mop. Instead of cleaning, your mop will spread more dirt and debris on the floor.

Heavy Foot Traffic

Foot traffic is common in commercial buildings but residential buildings aren’t exempt from this problem either. Heavy foot traffic can make your floor slippery leading to a risk of fall. It also makes the floor look unclean and dirty.

You can use entrance mats to pick up dust, dirt, germs, mud and sand from entering your house or building.

Slippery & Sticky Floor

No matter how much you mop your floor but it ends up slippery and sticky. It can be due to inadequate cleaning products. Slippery and sticky floors are unappealing and a hazard. Avoiding this problem can lead to disaster, especially in commercial buildings.
