The Training Workshop Agenda

Floor Identification.
Knowing the type of surface you are working on can be very important, especially when doing restorative cleaning. Learn how to identify the type of stone, wood and resilient floor. Learn how to tell the difference between Vinyl, Linoleum or Rubber... and much more.

The Chemistry of Cleaning.
Essential to effective and safe cleaning of all types of floors is the understanding of the chemicals and their pH value. Discover why you should never use water to clean a floor. Discover how to 'stabilise' the pH value of the floor to provide the essential foundation for the correct application of sealers, protectors and polishes. Incorrect use of chemicals can have a devastating and sometimes irreversible effect on the floor surface.

Understanding Floor Finishes.
Understanding sealers, polishes, solid contents, film formation and their application process. Learn why you should not (1) burnish a sealer (2) shake the coatings (3) use a floor maintainer.
