If you’re not too sure of the difference between a linoleum or a vinyl floor, unsure if you can put a polish on a wooden parquet floor or how to remove social distancing yellow tape, then a Prochem Hard Floor Cleaning & Maintenance course could be for you.

From learning how to strip polish, re-seal and then re-polish (often called strip & seal), to teaching how to give marble, granite or terrazzo a high gloss, the Surrey-based company has been demonstrating both machinery options and suitable detergents to hands-on classes.

Prochem’s technical team was out on the road most of last summer, demonstrating and helping school site managers, hotel housekeeping teams and commercial cleaning teams deal with various flooring types.

The company ran a training session on how to keep flooring at the highest levels of appearance for a carpet tile manufacturer who had also recently purchased a rubber flooring company.

The Prochem team learned that while most rubber flooring can be sealed this particular manufacturer didn’t recommend or support the process with a warranty and only recommended regular use of a polymerised-maintainer.

This is because often, if polished, this rubber flooring could be damaged when the time comes to strip off the polish, which may cause dye bleed issues not covered under warranty.

As more and more offices and buildings open up and staff return to the workplace, the requirement to clean flooring is growing.

As you can see, flooring issues can change and you need to keep up-to-speed with the changes and how do you do that? With training!

Prochem runs regular, advertised courses on how to clean and maintain all types of flooring. Further information at prochem.co.uk/training-courses
