Commercial tiles are prone to trapping debris and dirt. Although vacuuming and mopping frequently remove what we can see with the naked eye, it often leave behind embedded dirt. Deep cleaning the floor at least once a year will help address any build-up in your workplace tiles, ensuring they are 100% clean. In this article, we briefly explain how to deep clean tile floors and why it is important for your organization.

Regular vacuuming and mopping will only get 90% of the work done. If you look closely at the tiles, you may notice some discolored grout lines. In some cases, the original shine of the tiles may start to fade or the dirt is clearly visible to the eyes. Deep cleaning your tile floors helps to fix the remaining 10%, and ensure they are properly cleaned. The detailed process that includes tile scrubbing addresses all kinds of dirt and stubborn lines that may be discoloring your tiles. Just like with carpet cleaning, regular deep cleaning of your tiled floors helps to keep them looking bright and safeguard their original appearance.

Deep cleaning your commercial floor is a process that involves detailed tile scrubbing. If the tiles in your workplace look different from their original color, they may need more than just mopping. Our tile scrubbing process will make them look bright and rejuvenated by removing all the dirt and discoloration. Here is how to deep clean tile floors to remove all dirt, germs, and grease.

Every deep cleaning process starts with a risk assessment of the building. This involves checking where all the exists, power supply, fire extinguishers, bathrooms, water supply, and other resources are within the building. The purpose of this assessment is to allow the cleaning professionals to familiarize themselves with the site while removing any obstacles that may get in the way such as chairs and tables.

Before tile scrubbing, our cleaners will vacuum the floor to remove any surface dirt or debris. Vacuuming also removes any stickers, visible marks, or gum from the floor. Without this step, all this dirt and residue would just be pushed around when mopping or scrubbing the floor.

The floor is then filled with the cleaning chemicals to make sure no spot is missed. The cleaners will usually mix the floor cleaning chemical with hot water for best results. Hot water penetrates the dirt better and keeps the cleaning chemical active. Depending on how dirty the floor is, the chemic used may be tile-specific, heavy-duty degreaser, or PH-neutral floor cleaner. Mixed with hot water, the chemical is left to sit for a while before scrubbing.

A commercial rotary or swing machine helps to thoroughly clean and remove any ground-in dirt on the floor. Scrubbing the solution on the floor loosens all the germs, dirt, and dust from the tiles and grout. The machine usually sways from left to right, scrubbing the cleaning chemical with a spinning circular pad. An eager beaver floor tool or doodlebug is then used to reach tight corners and other hard-to-reach areas.

After scrubbing the entire filed floor, the cleaning professionals wet and dry vacuum it to get rid of all the solution. Sucking up the solution residue and dirt is the most effective way of ensuring the floor is clean completely. Skipping this step would mean that some of the dirt and germs scrubbed would be left on the floor and would make it look dirt again.

In the final step, the cleaners will mop the floor with clean water multiple times. The first round is to get rid of any stubborn dirt that could not be sucked up by the vacuum. Once the floor has dried, it is mopped a second time or even a third. This meticulous process allows the cleaning professionals to find any spot on the floor that may have been missed or needs to be scrubbed again. Once the floor has dried, the cleaners move all the items back into place.

If you are wondering how to deep clean tile floors in your commercial or workplace, the process involves detail scrubbing of all the dirt, vacuuming, and mopping. This can be a challenge, especially in environments where the floor is constantly being walked by employees and clients. Working with a professional cleaning company ensures that the tiles are deep cleaned to restore their brightness. While the frequency might differ, doing so at least once a year will help maintain the original look of your tiles.
