Dealing with Poor Gloss on Floors

If you are using industrial cleaning equipment, you want the finished product to be glossy and sparkling. However, many times it seems like you can’t get a good gloss on the floor no matter how many passes you make. It can be enough to make you want to give up.

One of the problems could be the quality of your equipment. If your mops and brushes are dirty and contaminated then it’s likely that you won’t get the same shine. Make sure to clean all used janitorial equipment before starting a new project – don’t use the same mop for different tasks if you haven’t given it a thorough cleaning yet.

You also might want to consider your floor buffing technique, especially the frequency of use. Break out the floor buffer on a daily basis and make sure you are applying the proper coats in order to get the best gloss possible.
