Spring provides a great opportunity for you to improve the look of your home, office or building. Starting from the ground up, your floors are often the windows into your space, so it’s important to take the time to prepare them and keep them clean.

Here are some benefits of cleaning and preparing both your hard and soft surface floors for Spring:

Removes Dirt from Winter Months

Winter conditions can leave a mess on your floors. The moisture, salt, and mud that accumulates can deteriorate your building’s appeal, making it uncomfortable to spend valuable time indoors. Removing these soils in the Spring will immediately improve the look and feel of your space.

Clean floors not only look good but also help ensure the safety of those who enter your space.

Whether at home or in the workplace, a dirty floor can become a slip and trip hazard, which can lead to injuries. Keep your occupants and guests safe while providing a clean environment for all.

Also, be prepared and use mats both inside and outside to wipe off the moisture from your shoes, and keep dust and dirt from tracking into your space.

Prevents Build-up

Mold and mildew growths are common during winter and come with several other harmful effects. This can be especially harmful to your flooring as they can damage the fibers of your soft surfaces such as carpets and mats.

Removing any mold and mildew from your floors will also help protect you and others from allergic reactions like sneezing, coughing, and asthma.

Eliminates Airborne Allergens

Failing to clean your floor in the Spring can allow dust, pollen, and other airborne allergens to spread inside your space. Such airborne allergens cause sneezing, skin rashes, and other allergic reactions. Cleaning your soft and hard surfaces will give you a comfortable and healthy living environment.
