Cleaning Products You Should Never Use on Your Floors

Isn't it possible to just spray, wipe, and go? Not if you want to maintain the plethora of surfaces in your office shining and clean—wood, tile, carpet, stainless steel—as well as do the best thing for your and your family's health. Here are some cleaning products that you should avoid for the sake of your health and the health of your office.

1. Cleaning Products You Should Never Use on Your Wood Floors

Ammonia

Ammonia is a strong chemical with numerous cleaning applications in the house, but it should never be used on hardwood floors. The component deteriorates the surface of the wood and dissolves the lignin. Instead, try Zep Commercial Hardwood and Laminate if you need a heavy-duty wood floor cleaner that can cut through tough dirt.

Oil

Let's get the record straight about oil and wood flooring. According to our cleaning experts, it's OK to use tiny quantities of diluted oil on wood floors to give a little shine. However, if there is too much oil, things might rapidly go wrong. It makes the flooring very slippery! And it's not simple to get rid of it later.

Wet mops

When it comes to cleaning your wood floors, less is more, which is especially true for water. Extremely wet mops can destroy the polish and harm the wood itself.

Any product that necessitates the use of a bucket and mop is not suitable for wood floors. However, if you rely on mops and don't want to give them up, consider the O-Cedar Easywring Microfiber Spin Mop and Bucket System, which effectively squeezes out extra water.

2. Cleaning Products You Should Never Use on Your Carpet

Bleach

While bleach is a great way to remove stains from a white T-shirt, it is one of the worst things you can do to your carpet. Bleach is unlikely to accomplish anything other than leaving a vast, ugly bleach stain on your carpet.

White Wine

While red wine caused the stain, please don't rush to the shop to buy white wine to remove it. Other effective ways to remove red wine from your carpets are hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixture. This formula also works nicely for cleaning blood from your carpet.

White wine, despite being mainly transparent, may leave a stain later. It all boils down to the color of your carpet, and it may wind up generating the same issue as bleach.

Dish Soap

Dish soap does not foam as much as laundry detergent; but it should not be used to clean a spill. When using dish soap, the soap removes the dirt and potentially the stain, but it may soak into the carpet fibers.

When this occurs, the soap begins to behave as a sticky trap for dirt. Instead of flowing freely through the wild forest of carpet threads, dirt becomes trapped in one rug area, resulting in a persistent filthy patch. As a result, you'll need to clean the area more frequently, so it's usually best if you leave dish soap on hand to manage dish stains.

3. Cleaning Products You Should Never Use on Your Tiles

Noxious Chemicals

Use strong chemicals like acid or bleach for regular cleaning, such as lemon and vinegar; they can harm the tiles and grout if used frequently, and they are also health dangers as well as a danger to other properties near the tiles.

Use Abrasives

It would help to scrub your tile with a soft cloth rather than harsh cleaning powders or steel wool. It will simply deteriorate the finish, making the surface prone to pitting and stains.

Colored Cleaners and Wax-based cleaners

When using cleansers that include colors, be cautious. Colored cleansers may be absorbed by the tiles and change their color, especially if they are unglazed. Be careful if you don't want a rainbow-colored wall.

Wax-based cleaners may cause the tiles to become slippery and, if a build-up is permitted, may result in ugly yellow stains that can absorb dirt.

4. Cleaning Products You Should Never Use on Stainless Steel

Abrasive Cleaners

Abrasive cleaners should not be used on stainless steel since it is easily scratched. In addition, some of these cleaners contain particles that can scrape and harm the steel grain. While abrasive cleaners are excellent at removing dirt, stains, and fingerprints, they are also prone to damage the surface of your stainless steel goods, making them seem dull and old.

Chlorine and Bleach

While bleach may make your stainless steel appliances sparkle at first, it may eventually damage the coating. Many manufacturers advise against putting potent chemical agents on stainless steel appliances, such as chlorine or bleach. Surface pitting can occur as a result of these powerful chemicals trapping impurities. Avoid using alcohol or glass cleaners since they will create streaks and damage the surface's outer protective layer. It's also a bad idea to combine two chemical cleansers because this might result in harmful emissions.

Conclusion

You may not realize it, but the improper cleaning chemicals may swiftly ruin your workspace. As a result, pay close attention to the directions for using various products and devote more time to office cleaning.
