While hardwood floors are undoubtedly attractive, they require quite a bit of maintenance. For commercial settings, wood floors are likely to experience more wear and tear due to foot traffic. Seeking out a janitorial service to buff and coat wood floors at your business offers many benefits, including the following.

What Professional Floor Buffing Can Do for Your Business

1. Extend the Life Span of Your Floors

Using improper cleaning products and techniques can damage floors in addition to routine wear. However, it’s important to schedule buffing every few months—if not more for heavy traffic areas; otherwise, the floors will wear down at a much faster pace. Severely damaged hardwood will need either extensive repairs or replacement, which can be expensive. 

A new coating prevents scratches and defects from forming, which extends the life span of the flooring and minimizes repairs. 

2. Improve the Look of Your Business

The way your business looks has an impact on both your customers and employees. When the space appears clean and taken care of, customers will develop a more favorable opinion, and it can also make a positive impression on potential job candidates. 

As for your current staff, clean floors reduce allergens and germs, keeping everyone healthier. They’ll also feel proud of the environment they work in, which can increase productivity and morale. 

3. Minimize Downtime

Compared to refinishing, buffing is a one-day job. Depending on the size of the office, the task can be completed in a few hours and doesn’t have to interrupt anyone’s job.

If you need to refinish the floors, the project will take several days to complete and a few weeks to fully cure. This could put your business at a standstill, impeding people’s workflows or prohibiting them from seeing clients.
