Wood has always been the most used material for furnishing homes, businesses, and offices. Even the floor draws great aesthetic benefits from the use of this natural element and parquet is still very popular today.
It happens very often that a cleaning company receives requests for information regarding this type of flooring and in particular it is asked: “ how to clean the parquet in the office? “
Cleaning stained parquet the wrong way: a real case
The case we want to talk to you about is that of a company that turned to us at SAGEM after having had a bad experience regarding the parquet in their office. This is not an isolated and rare situation, so it is possible to draw reflections and advice from what we are about to tell you.
The company in question, our client to date, had contacted us following problems with a previous cleaning company.
In the email that arrived, the manager said he had noticed, one month after the start of the collaboration with the external company, that the parquet in the entire office there was a visible discoloration and that there were lighter stains in some parts.
Already reading the description we have assumed damage because of a lack of attention during the cleaning activity.
Our approach was to schedule an inspection to precisely analyze the situation of the flooring and understand if there was a remedy for this damage.
Once we arrived at the company and inspected the ruined office parquet, everything became even clearer.
The problem was caused by a robot being misused only to speed up cleaning. This type of machine certainly facilitates the work of a cleaner, but it is not suitable for all types of floors, and parquet is one of the most delicate and to be treated with particular attention.
Never use overly aggressive cleaning products on wood.
Be very careful about how you work on the parquet and which detergents you are using to clean it, because making a mistake can create damage that is difficult to recover or even irreparable.
