Spring Cleaning
Wiping Up Winter Grime Inside and Out
While spring is here, for building
owners and maintenance professionals
there are remnants
of winter that need to be addressed.
“Each season has its own unique
cleaning challenges but winter can be the
worst because of the amount of moisture
and debris that gets tracked into a building,”
said Rob Heglin, product manager
for Sellars Absorbent Materials.
The first areas that collect winter
grime are entryways and lobbies. Snow
and slush mixed with salt, sand, road debris
and fall leaves have a way of making
their mark on an interior.
One way to prevent those elements
from being tracked through a building
is by catching them at their source.
“For high-traffic areas, consider using
a medium-duty sorbent pad that’s specifically
designed to grab and hold water
and mild chemicals. The pads can be
used during the winter to soak up snow and slush and thrown away after a few days. Trapping the dirt
and grime keeps it from reaching interior areas so there’s less
winter clean up to do in the rest of the building,” said Heglin.
During extremely bad weather conditions like a snow, ice
or rain storm, heavy duty sorbent rolls can be placed in areas
to absorb wetness and help prevent slips and falls. These can
be used on a short-term basis and disposed of once the
weather passes. A roll is similar to a pad but a roll is larger so
it can cover more area.
Top to Bottom
Floors aren’t the only surface that’s impacted by winter.
Baseboards, doors, doorframes, walls and windows can get
splattered and require attention.
To effectively wipe away what the season has left behind, select a product that can gather and grab particles. Look for absorbent shop towels that are designed for heavy duty cleaning tasks. Full story »
