Highly fine scratches on the floor - Everyone likes a shining floor and even a single scratch can degrade the looks of the floor. Generally super fine scratches or swirl marks as commonly known gradually tend to diminish the shiny and smooth look of the floors. One of the main reasons for such scratches is the use of rough scrub pad. There are machines that are used for cleaning commercial floors that has a scrub pad at the bottom. Sometime the distance between the scrub pad and the floor is uneven or the scrub pad is rough at some areas which results in numerous scratches on the floors.
Streaky marks on the floor - streaks are very bad for floor as they are easily visible and instantly spoil the look of the floors. There are many reasons for the same like –
• The polishing of the floor was not done at proper intervalsbecause of which the first layer did not dry completely and application of another layer on it distorted the floor resulting in streaks.
• Also, there is a required time gap between the preparations the floor and its polishing. If that is not followed, then streaks are expected.
• Use of contaminated water can also damage the floor resulting in streaks. Water used for cleaning the floors should be clean so that the floor care is done properly.
• Floor finish are a set of chemicals that are applied when the floor is prepared. It is used to give final touches to ready the floor. Correct temperature for storing and applying the floor finish is very important. Inappropriate temperatures will lead to irregularity on the floors resulting in streaks
Discoloration of floors – often we have observed that floor spaces where some furniture or mats are placed, gradually get discolored. This is because sometime the materials of the mat or the materials of the furniture chemically reacts with the floor leading to discoloration. The only way to stop discoloration is to completely dry the floor after cleaning or polishing and then placing the doormats. Also for furniture placement, it is better to place rubber tips at the bottom, so that the furniture materials does not react with the floor, hence avoiding discoloration.
