The pioneers of the restaurant industry had it right, cleanliness is the key to success. However, when textured surfaces replaced the very dangerous smooth surface of linoleum flooring, the tools and procedures that set the standard suddenly became an Achilles heel that has been biting ever since. In order to offset the damage done by mopping you must effectively scrub the floor on a regular basis.
Recently we documented what happened to the floor of a brand new very popular fast food restaurant. The data was unimaginable. Within 6 weeks of the grand opening the white grout can no longer be seen. Unless, you see the pictures most people will never know. If left unattended, the outcomes can be catastrophic with very dangerous slip and fall accidents.
It doesn't matter where you go, if you look down, grout is black. Not because it's the color but because they have lost control of their cleaning procedures and floor condition. The worst thing about it is we as a society just accept it as just one of those things. Well it's not. It's a very serious problem that is not only costing you with every dime that you are spending in regards to floor care but it also is the root cause of the very dangerous and costly slip and fall accident. Think about it, if we spend money on something that is actually causing the problem, if we stopped spending that money then would we solve the problem? Let's forget about the fact that the money we spend is causing this dirty floor problem that plagues the hospitality industry in the USA how about the fact the money and effort that you are spending is also funding the slip and fall accident. The NFSI estimates that slip and fall accidents account for approximately 20% of all workplace injuries but make up a disproportionate share (around 60%) of workplace fall injuries. We do not create as much dirt and grease as we think we do, we never get rid of it from day one simply because our cleaning procedures simple smear and do not remove.
The easies way to see what condition your floor is in is to look at your used mop water after your facility has been mopped. A good rule of thumb; if you can see the bottom of your mop bucket, you are good. If you cannot, you need to effectively scrub your floor.
Every time you put water on a floor, calcium is going down as well. Just like your shower at home, calcium build up is a serious problem. You see it in your shower but you do not on your floor as it is covered by the same residue that creates the black grout. Once you can effectively maintain a clean condition you will notice calcium damages must be managed. Usually by mopping less. Protect your investment.
According to a 2022 study from the University of Colorado at Boulder, flushing toilets doesn't get rid of everything. In fact, an aerosols sprays back into the air every time the toilet is flushed. We content this aerosols lands on the floors, then we mop and smear, depositing this discarded material into the grout and texture where the buildup begins. it's not all that but it's not none of that. We can do better. Read Now!

Regardless of what type tile is on the floor, the Heavyweight impact will be immediate. The second it is pushed the process of removing any dirt and grime build up has begun and your floor will be on their way back to safe. At least as safe as the tile is going to be clean. Having said that, some clean floors are not safe which is easily remedied with a treatment program that adds or creates texture on walking surfaces. If you are forced to go this route an effective scrubbing procedure becomes a must.
Seamless flooring is a great alternative to tile and should be considered for restrooms simply because of the toilet study we reference above. The Heavyweight is perfect for maintaining a clean, safe walking surface and has been endorsed by some of the largest companies in the industry such as Silical America
When I entered the restaurant industry, slip-and-fall incidents were an accepted reality, with uniform deck shoes providing little protection. While slip-resistant shoes later improved safety, they failed to address the underlying problem of dirty, hazardous floors.
Years later, I discovered a game-changing machine that revolutionized my approach to floor care. In 1994, I invested in two of these machines, determined to solve the industry-wide issue of dirty floors.
Now, 29 years later, battered, bruised, and educated, I stand more convinced than ever - this plague affecting every industry is not only solvable, but self-induced. By embracing change, the outcome won't be painful, but quite the opposite - uplifting and enlightening. This is because there is a significant cost to dirty floors, especially when it comes to employee morale.
