Hard Floor Care

Machine scrubbing, floor maintenance, polishing and restoration. Servicing Brisbane and surrounding areas.

Service Overview

Hard floors take a disproportionate amount of visible wear in commercial buildings. Our floor care service covers machine scrubbing, routine maintenance and polishing programs designed to keep hard-floor surfaces presentable and extend their service life between restoration cycles.

What This Addresses

Dull, scuffed or streaky floors in high-traffic lobbies and corridors
Traditional mopping that redistributes rather than removes ground-in soil
Floors that look clean but are becoming slip hazards
Restoration work being needed more often than it should

What's Included

Auto-scrubbing of hard floor surfaces
Routine machine buffing and polishing
Spot treatment of high-wear areas
Scheduled maintenance programs between restorations
Wet-floor signage and safe work area management

Suitable Property Types

Lobbies and building entries
Retail floors
Healthcare corridors
Education facilities
Commercial common areas

Servicing Brisbane

Brisbane's humidity and foot traffic place real demands on commercial floors, particularly in retail and lobby areas. Our Brisbane-based teams schedule floor care around these local conditions to keep surfaces presentable year-round.

Our Approach

Floor type, foot traffic and existing condition are assessed first, since vinyl, timber, tile and stone all respond differently to machine scrubbing and polishing. A maintenance frequency is then set to protect the surface rather than just clean it reactively.

Equipment & Process

Mechanised auto-scrubbers and rotary/high-speed burnishers matched to the floor substrate, with appropriate pads and pH-balanced solutions for each surface type.

Quality Controls

Post-service inspection checks for even finish, no residue build-up and correct signage removal once surfaces are dry.

Scheduling

Machine scrubbing is typically scheduled weekly to monthly depending on traffic, with polishing programs set on a longer cycle appropriate to the floor type.

Safety Considerations

Work is carried out following documented safe work procedures, appropriate PPE and, where relevant, exclusion signage and access controls. See our approach to safety for more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is floor care different from strip and seal?+

Floor care is routine maintenance — scrubbing and polishing an existing finish. Strip and seal is a full restoration that removes the old finish and reapplies new coats. See our Strip & Seal page for details.

Will machine scrubbing disrupt our operations?+

It's typically scheduled after-hours or during low-traffic periods, with clear wet-floor signage while surfaces dry.
