Maintaining Your Commercial Floors During The Winter Snow

As winter sets in, facilities managers and janitorial teams face unique cleaning challenges. From harsh weather effects to increased indoor activity, maintaining a clean, safe environment requires strategic planning and specialised tools. Here’s a guide to efficiently tackling the season’s most challenging cleaning tasks.

Snow and ice are common challenges in winter months, especially if you are located in the Northeast corridor of the United States. Snow may present health hazards and possibilities of slips and falls, requiring facility managers to focus on it to prevent customers from falling. Furthermore, excessive use of salt can damage certain floor types or leave stains that may require additional floor cleaning.  

Recommended Solution:  

  • At DCSS, we recommend placing commercial-grade entry mats to trap moisture and debris; 

  •  Ensure your cleaning team uses neutral pH floor cleaners designed to mop floors. Neutral pH floor cleaning chemicals help to dissolve salt residues without harming surfaces and 

  • Increase the frequency of cleaning of entryways in your facility during the winter months to minimize the buildup of debris and salt.
