Wood floors are a cornerstone of elegance and functionality in many facilities. To maintain their aesthetic appeal and ensure safety and longevity, proper care is essential. Enviro-Solutions® offers a wood floor care program designed for both effectiveness and sustainability. With a water-based, VOC-compliant system, this program enhances the natural beauty of wood floors while prioritizing safety, ease of use, and cost-efficiency.

Why Choose Enviro-Solutions® Wood Floor Care?

Enviro-Solutions® provides a proven maintenance system that revitalizes wood floors without the mess and time commitment of traditional methods. The program’s benefits include:

  • Fast dry and cure times: Floors are dry in 90 minutes and ready for use within 48 hours.
  • Safer formulations: Low odor, VOC-compliant, UL Certified products improve slip resistance.
  • Cost savings: Extend floor life by 25% with easy application and high coverage rates (800–1,000 sq/ft per gallon).

The 4 Critical Elements of Wood Floor Care

Wood floor maintenance requires a strategic approach that balances regular care with restorative treatments. Here are the four critical elements of wood floor care and how Enviro-Solutions® products help at every stage:

  1. Pre-Routine Maintenance
    Prevent dirt, grit, and moisture from damaging your floors by using proper entrance matting systems and regular sweeping. Keeping debris out of the facility reduces wear and lowers the risk of slips and falls.
  2. Routine Maintenance
    Implement a consistent cleaning program to remove dirt and maintain traction. The ES31 CLEAN is a heavy-duty, no-rinse cleaner ideal for preserving the high traction of water-based floor coatings. Its low-foaming formula makes it safe and efficient for regular use.
  3. Interim Maintenance
    Between major cleanings, periodic treatments are vital. Enviro-Solutions® offers solutions like ES94+ Burnishing Cream for repairing black marks and shoe scuffs, and ES95+ Traction/Restoration Treatment for restoring gloss and improving traction.
  4. Restorative Maintenance
    When floors need a complete refresh, the ES30 PREP cleaner effectively removes embedded soils and black marks, preparing floors for a new coat of finish. Follow this with ES32 WOOD FINISH, a water-based, high-gloss coating that’s easy to apply, dries quickly, and enhances durability.
