Cleaning Dining Room Floors

Maintaining clean and safe dining room floors is essential for any restaurant. Here are key tips for effective floor cleaning:

• Use hot water with your cleaning solution for best results. If using a specialized floor care system, optimal cleaning occurs when water is above100∘F.
• Soak the floor thoroughly with cleaning solution. Use enough water to handle dirt buildup without oversaturating the floor.
• Leave the solution on the floor and grout lines for at least five minutes. This allows the chemical to loosen dirt and debris.
• Use a deck brush with short, quick strokes on grout lines to break up accumulated oils. Avoid long, sweeping strokes.
• Ensure all solution is removed from the floor to prevent slippery residue.
• Use proper tools in good condition. Replace floor cleaning tools every four weeks or as needed.
• Mops are best for loose dirt, while deck brushes are for solidified grease in grout lines.
• Always use approved floor cleaner. Other cleaners can damage tiles or make floors slippery.
• If using a two-part floor care system,alternate chemical blocks to prevent excessive buildup.

These tips are provided as resources for your restaurant's operations. Always ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
