How to Prevent Slippery Floors

4/18/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Slips and Falls at home are serious accidents. They could result in broken bones and painful muscles. As a homeowner, you should keep your flooring clutter-free, safe, and non-slippery.

Having said that, there are floors that tend to be slippery, particularly after refinishing.
What Makes a Floor Slippery?

One of the main reasons why a floor becomes slippery is that it has not been cleaned properly and not frequently.

The hazards of slips and falls can be prevented if you just use the right product solutions, tools, equipment, and proper cleaning methods.

The following are reasons why your floor may be slippery and effective solutions to address the problem:

Soiled Materials

When mopping the floors, make sure you clean the mop and bucket properly. This is important particularly if you are floor refinishing. It is also advisable to apply fresh liner to your bucket for more efficient cleaning.

Too Much or Too Little Application

Either way, you may end up with a slippery floor. When applying finish, check your floor for slip resistance after three coatings. By doing this, you will know whether or not you need to apply more.

Poor Quality or Incorrect Chemicals

When buying finish for your flooring, look for the one that has "slip resistant." Also, it is better to invest in high quality products even though they are a bit expensive.

The Use of Dust Mop that Is Oily

Using a machine to scrub the floor or to rinse it can help prevent it from getting slippery. The process is effective in removing any film or soil that is causing the floor to be slippery. After that, make use of a dust mop treatment to finish the job. Remember to use the non-oil one.

Additional Tips to Lower the Risks of Slipping on Your Floors

  • After mopping the floor with a wet mop, run a dry mop for the purpose of removing excess water on the floor.
  • Put absorbent doormats in areas that tend to become slippery such as under the sink, and in doorways.
  • Encourage all the people who enter your house to wipe their feet on doormats.
  • As soon as wet or there are spills on the floor, clean and dry them immediately.

Conclusion

If you neglect cleaning your floor, it can get slippery and cause some accidents. Aside from making your floors beautiful and shiny, make sure they are safe too.

As a responsible homeowner, you should also pay attention to your homeowner's insurance and check what is covered in your policy.
