As the days grow shorter, more and more needs to be done to prepare. However, prepping business floors for fall and winter can be difficult to do on your own. Before you go looking for help, it’s best to fully examine why you might need it and what could go wrong without it. 

Here’s What Fall and Winter Mean for Your Floors

Every fall and winter, your floors face a variety of issues that aren’t anywhere near as problematic during the spring and summer. Here are the three most common.

Dirtier Floors

Fall means more leaves and dirt on the floor. As it gets colder, the wind blows harder, and leaves begin falling, business floors are far more at risk. Simply opening the door or a window is enough for things to get out of control inside your business. 

More Accidents

With winter comes snow and ice. While it can be beautiful, it can lead to the danger of slippery floors inside your business. Both will melt when they spend enough time inside. Customers and employees alike will track in mud when that mixes with the dirt on their shoes. The floors will become a constant hazard and potentially lead to slip-and-fall accidents, a major problem that many businesses ignore until it is too late. 

Damaged Finish

No matter how prepping business floors for fall and winter goes inside your business, floor finish still takes a beating this time of year. The high quantities of outside materials on your floors take a toll. It is not recommended that any business refinish their floors during this period of already-increased maintenance.
