FLOORCARE Troubleshooting

Slippery Floors

Cause: Solution:
Treated mops depositing oil or silicone. Use only untreated mops. Scrub and re-coat slippery areas.
Lubricants, oils, polishes or like products spilled on the floor. Scrub and recoat areas where spills occurred. Clean or replace soiled dust mops to avoid spreading the problem throughout the building.
Water tracked in from outside. Burnish floor regularly to restore “tightness” to floor.
Floor is not being burnished enough. Use recommended pad.
Not enough finish has been applied. A finished floor is more slip resistant than a bare floor. Ensure that sufficient coats of finish have been applied. Clean floor and apply restorer.
