Originally published by Mohawk Group
In the wake of current events, we understand the increased anxiety and heightened concerns around the best ways to clean and disinfect commercial finishes, including hard surface flooring and carpeting. At Mohawk Group, we commit ourselves to health and wellness by not only creating finishes that help contribute to healthy spaces, but by also making important information readily accessible to help us better care for our spaces and in doing so, ourselves. We are here to support the design community throughout this pandemic.
CLEANING YOUR FLOORS: RESOURCES AND BEST PRACTICES
The first step to effectively maintaining any flooring system throughout the life of the installation is a regular cleaning regimen. Click here to access our instructions for regular care and maintenance.
If you have specific concerns related to COVID-19, we invite you to click here to review guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These helpful resources include specific instructions as they relate to facilities such as schools and daycare centers, office spaces and other non-medical settings visited by the general public. The CDC guidelines also contain additional links to lists of disinfectants that have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in mitigating the spread of viruses such as COVID-19.
Before using any cleaning solution on commercial finishes, it is important to review the manufacturer’s instructions. Equally important is to test disinfectants in an inconspicuous area.
At Mohawk Group, we are always here to help. Please don’t hesitate to contact your local account executive or Mohawk Technical Services at 800-833-6954 for additional assistance regarding the proper maintenance and cleaning of our commercial flooring products.
