A floor can shine and still be sticky.

Residue, loose grit, and excess moisture can make a floor feel worse after mopping. Match the method to the flooring and use the label’s dilution, not an extra splash.

A method worth keeping

Three deliberate steps.

Take out the grit

Pick up items and remove loose debris with a tool approved for the floor. Check wheels and mop pads for trapped grit.

Control the moisture

Prepare the cleaner exactly as directed. Use a well-wrung pad and work in small sections; avoid pooling at joints and edges.

Let it dry and inspect

Keep traffic off until dry. Check for residue at the edges of each section. If rinsing is required by the product, use a clean pad and follow the floor maker’s instructions.

A little help goes a long way

Let us take care of the clean.
