1.硬质楼层
Proactively protect your hard floors against snow, salt, and other contaminants by making sure there is an adequate amount of finish on the floor to protect the surface.
你应该重新封装层before赢得ter begins. It is not best practice to strip and refinish floorsduringthe winter because of the increased harsh contaminates that can be tracked onto your floors. Additionally, the cold weather can negatively affect how the finish dries. Often times, the cold weather will lead to cracking and peeling of the floor finish.
If you missed the window to strip and refinish your floors, performing a scrub and recoat is the next best line of defense.
Scrubbing and recoating your hard floorswill provide a layer of finish to your floors. An early protective coat will help avoid deep stains in your floor finish which would otherwise require you to strip and refinish floors more frequently than needed.

2.实施入口垫系统
准备楼层后，通过利用适当的入口垫系统，保护您的硬质或地毯从雪，污垢和冰铺板。
Guests should be able to take about 8 to 10 steps on the entry matting before reaching your carpeted or hard floor. This typically calls for about 15 feet of matting outside and an additional 15 feet inside your building.
有不同类型的垫子，每个都是独特的目的。In an entryway matting system, you should have a scraper and a wiper mat. Scraper mats should always be used with wiper mats to remove fine soil and water from feet.
Scraper mats are placed outside of your entrywayto scrape debris off of shoes as well as begin the removal of any liquids and moisture.
接下来，过渡垫或刮刀/刮水器组合垫位于门口或门口内部。通过去除土壤以及任何剩余的水分，它们清洁鞋底。
Finally,wiper mats remove any remaining soils从鞋底，使地板表面上的第一步是干净的干燥。
商业地板垫设计用于去除并含有水和水分。入口垫应该有一个“水坝”边界和乙烯基或橡胶背衬，以帮助含有土壤并防止滑倒。
含有像水，雪和冰一样多的水，可以帮助降低你的硬楼层或渗入地毯上的水池的风险。如果垫子有扁平边框或背衬不足，水可以渗出边缘，并导致地板损坏或湿滑的条件。
Having the right entrance mat system in place will not only protect your floors and preserve your facility's appearance, the system will also reduce the risk of slips and falls. Wet floors are a common occurrence in winter months, especially in entryways.
3. Use Floor Neutralizer To Protect and Remove Ice Melt Residue
即使有了最佳的入口垫系统，冰熔渣也将被追踪在您设施的入口之外。这可能会损害地板，并在整个设施中留下难看的白色残留量。
警告：冰融解含有苛刻的化合物（如盐）that can negatively react with floor cleaners.
Regular floor cleaners can damage floors when used to remove ice melt residue. The pH balance of the salt residue is high (opposite dirt) and will require a floor neutralizer to remove residue. When used to remove ice melt regular floor cleaners are ineffective and will leave behind white residue.
The best way to remove ice melt residue is with the use of a floor neutralizer. Floor neutralizers are specifically designed to dissolve ice melt chlorides, soap, and hard water films as well as scum, scale, and other organic residues.Certo Floor Neutralizerwill both clean the floor and eliminate white residue so you only have to perform one floor care procedure.

专家提示：将警告标志放在湿地区周围，警告滑动和秋季危险的客人。
When mopping, it is critical to exchange the dirty cleaning solution and thoroughly clean the mop bucket after every use to avoid re-depositing salt and ice melt residue back to the floor.
If you are using an autoscrubber, make sure to adequately clean the squeegees and tanks before storing the machine. Leftover salt residue can be corrosive to metal parts.
