If you’re eager to learn the best approach to cleaning and preserving the tiled floors in your Perth office, you’ve come to the right place.
Read on for insights into the proper techniques and products that PetraClean employs to keep office tiles in top-notch condition.
Step 1. Mould prevention
Efficiency in tile cleaning begins with preventing the accumulation of mould and dirt. For bathroom tiled floors, PetraClean recommends the use of chlorinated mould cleaners, specifically End Mould for our Perth office clients.
End Mould, composed of sodium hypochlorite (found in bleach and sanitizers) and detergent additives, annihilates both mould and mildew on tiles, grouting, plastic shower screens, and refrigerator door seals.
Step 2. Vacuum/sweep tiled floor
Prioritise the removal of debris by starting with a thorough vacuuming process. PetraClean employs backpack vacuums fitted with HEPA filters to ensure superior particle capture, minimising dust, skin cells, and other allergens.
Unlike sweeping, vacuuming is more effective in preventing the airborne spread of particles, contributing to a cleaner environment for our Perth clients.
Step 3. Degrease tiles and grout
To tackle general dirt, grease, and grime, PetraClean relies on the industrial-strength degreaser, All Purpose. This caustic alkali-based water degreaser proves effective in heavy grease removal in bathrooms and kitchens.
Using a stiff, short bristle broom, we allow the degreaser to sit for 2-5 minutes, followed by a thorough but gentle scrub to agitate dirt build-up. Wet vacuuming is then employed to remove liquid and dirt, preparing the tiled floors for the next cleaning stage.
Step 4. Mop and disinfect tiles
The final cleaning stage involves mopping with clean, hot water, and hospital-grade disinfectant cleaners in lasting scents (Jellybean, Mr D, and Mrs D). This step ensures the eradication of remaining germs and bacteria, leaving tiles gleaming and fragrant.
Step 5. Seal tiles (Optional)
For natural stone or porous tiles, sealing is recommended to enhance protection and prevent staining. PetraClean uses an industrial-strength water-based sealant, providing a durable, natural finish without altering the tile’s appearance. While not part of standard office cleaning contracts, PetraClean offers tile sealing as an additional service.
When it comes to tiled floor maintenance, the emphasis on prevention and protection is as crucial as the cleaning process itself.
