The corona virus pandemic has thrown everything out of place, especially our workspaces. We have been working from home, but as we start returning to our offices, we need to ensure cleanliness which brings safety and peace of mind to the people using it.

However, we understand that you might want to take additional precautions as part of your long-term plans to reopen offices and other commercial spaces.
In this article, we have shared some tips and solutions to help property and facility managers to maintain the appearance, condition, and cleanliness of their modular flooring – carpet tiles, LVT, rubber.

What is a good maintenance plan for your modular flooring?
To maintain the hygiene and longevity of your modular flooring, it is important to clean and maintain it on a regular basis. A good flooring maintenance plan requires a well-thought-out approach, something that considers space, density, and size of the floor plan. It also focuses on traffic flow, daily activities as well as cleaning and maintenance schedule and techniques.
Areas like entryways, lobbies, corridors, elevators, and break rooms are high-traffic areas while conference rooms, cubicles are normally considered as low traffic points. Hence, a focused plan as per the need of each area must be taken into consideration.
Durability and ease of maintenance contribute to the longevity of flooring.
Why do you need a cleaning and maintenance plan?
Keeping the floors clean and hygienic not only helps your surroundings to be healthy but it also increases the lifespan of your flooring; whether carpet tiles, LVT or rubber.
