Use walk-in mats at each entrance to the building. Clean these mats frequently. Use dust mops and vacuums to sweep up dirt frequently. Wet mop the floor with a liquid cleaner or surface buffing product. The next step for reducing stripper use is to carefully monitor the floor refinishing work that you do.
Strip floor finish only when needed.
Keep track of your floors - check them out monthly, or more often if they get a lot of traffic. Refinish only those areas where the surface is wearing out. With good records, you will easily spot patterns in the way that floors are wearing. Draw a sketch map of each building you maintain, and record your inspections of the hard floor areas. If you use a computer, make these sketches with your spreadsheet program and record your results each time you do an inspection.
