Winter in Minnesota is long and grueling. The cold and snow make it miserable to be outside for long, and the road salt meant to make driving safer often gets tracked indoors and can leave residue on your floors that, with traditional office cleaning methods, takes forever to remove. Here’s what you need to know about winter salt residue on your office floors.

Why Is Salt Residue So Difficult to Remove?

office cleaningThe reason salt residue takes so much time and effort to remove is that traditional office cleaning products were not formulated to deal with salt. Rather, they were designed to eliminate dirt and grime, which have low pH levels. Salt, on the other hand, has a high pH level. Instead of neutralizing the high pH, regular cleaning solutions merely raise it higher and simply smear the salt around, leaving a sticky mess.

Why Should You Hire a Professional Office Cleaning Service?

Worse than the mess it leaves, salt residue can dissolve the finish of your floor, and using the wrong cleaning product could simply worsen the problem. You don't have to worry about that with professional cleaners—especially those based in a state like Minnesota. They have an enormous amount of experience removing road salt residue properly, without leaving a sticky residue or damaging the floor. They have the proper cleaning products, such as white vinegar, and tools and understand the right techniques to use to get the job done. Moreover, it saves you time and lets you concentrate on running your business—instead of polishing floors.
