Since the pandemic, the demand for thorough cleanliness and sanitation has skyrocketed. From an optics standpoint, the appearance of clean has also been elevated in scrutiny — and floors are at the forefront.
Floors are the first thing occupants see when entering a building and they create an immediate impression. If the floor looks grimy, dull or downright dirty, customers may go someplace else for fear that the rest of the facility is unsanitary.
A good floor care program encompasses more than what most people think. It actually starts outside the building, says Phil Carrizales, director of the Hygiene and Facilities Solutions division at Acme Paper, Jessup, Maryland.
