The entry, the main aisle, and the checkout lanes carry the heaviest soil load in a store. Cart wheels, weather, and foot traffic grind a gray film into the traffic pattern, which a machine scrub removes.
Common floor conditions
Traffic-lane film
The gray film ground into the entry, main aisle, and checkout is scrubbed out of the traffic pattern.
Dull VCT
Scrubbing restores finish that is dirty; finish that is worn through requires a strip and re-coat, which the test spot identifies.
Polished concrete sales floors
Polished floors are cleaned with products safe for the polish, with no etching or dulling.
Stockrooms and receiving
Stockroom concrete is scrubbed for grit and grime, and pallet-jack marks are treated with chemistry made for rubber transfer: they come off sealed concrete and lighten on bare slabs.
Garden centers and covered areas
Soil, fertilizer, and water stains are scrubbed off, and the dirty water is recovered.
