The second part of problem would be amount of clean water used. I know from experience that a "contract cleaner" would only ever use 1 bucket of water on a floor. It would be too much trouble to keep getting fresh water to clean a stone floor and that is exactly what is required. If you continually use dirty water to clean floor you will simply be washing dirt into floor from dirty water.
So I had to explain that Professional maintenance was required to keep floor in tip top condition and we set up a maintenance regime over course of a month at same price cleaning contractor's had charge and floors look great.
So, what should you do to maintain your commercial facilities stone floor surfaces?
1. Also have a professional Stone maintenance quote for your work
2. Contract cleaners do not understand stone and will never keep it in great shape.
3. Never use a product that isn't designed to keep stone in good order
4. Never use a high pH detergent you will leave floor greasy.
5. Change water in your bucket a minimum of every 5 sq mtrs.
It needn’t be more expensive for your stone contractor to offer professional maintenance services for regular upkeep of your stone product so always ask, we don’t bite.
