Hospital floor maintenance service:
If consistent cleanliness matters for any facility, it’s healthcare facilities. This isn’t to say that maintaining sanitary surfaces isn’t important for other entities, of course. When it comes to clinics, hospitals, and other similar environments, maintaining the health and safety of all patients, employees, and guests is paramount and sometimes more challenging than it is in other places.Floor maintenance is an essential aspect of these cleaning protocols as floors can harbor numerous germs and other contaminants that may put those inside at greater risk of disease.
With that in mind, let’s go over the best flooring maintenance options for keeping hospitals safe and clean.
Choosing the Right Floors for the Job:
Before discussing healthcare cleaning and maintenance strategies, it’s important to note that different types of floors are better suited for different areas of a hospital — and different kinds of floors will require different kinds of maintenance. Still, all hospital floors should prioritize similar features: slip-resistance, strength, sanitation, noise absorption, flexibility, visibility, and pleasant appearances. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a common choice for hospital entrances, corridors, and clinical rooms for its durability, cleanability, and aesthetic benefits. Sheet tile, linoleum, rubber, and bio-based tile (BBT) are other strong choices for various areas of a hospital. Flooring experts with experience in medical settings can provide more information on choosing the best floors for different rooms.
Selecting the Proper Frequency of Floor Maintenance:
In large, complex facilities such as hospitals, a task like floor maintenance must be thoroughly prioritized based on key factors. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to keep every area safe and clean with any consistency. Maintenance programs can be divided into four basic categories from the most to least frequent: regular/routine, periodic, interim, and restorative.
When it comes to cleaning hospital rooms, entrances, lobbies, and other high-use areas, floors should receive attention on a regular basis (i.e. at least daily) via sweeping, mopping, and disinfecting as necessary.
Using the Right Materials and Methods for Floor Maintenance:
Once you’ve established an optimized floor maintenance schedule based on your facility’s needs, you must gather the right materials for your various types of hospital flooring and employ the proper methods for keeping each type of floor clean and sanitary. The products and process you use to clean carpeting, for instance, will differ from those you use to maintain your LVT floors. Professional healthcare cleaning services can provide the best EPA-approved chemicals for the task at hand (such as quaternary ammonium, meant for hard surfaces), as well as the best equipment for various floor maintenance duties (i.e. scrubbing, buffing, burnishing, recoating, etc.).
