Setting the stage for patient expectations.
Floor Care and Maintenance
At Healthcare Cleaning Services of America, our programs manage both the perception and reality of environmental cleanliness. While preventing the spread of infection is the reality of cleanliness, the appearance of your floors may be giving off a different perception to your patients.
Keeping the floors of your facility clean enhances patient perceptions of quality, extends the life of the floor, and provides a safe environment free from risk of slips and falls.
A floor maintenance program is designed to provide regular care and service to the floors of your facility. Studies conducted by leading industry experts suggest that routine floor maintenance, floors can withstand years of abuse before having to be completely refinished or replaced. No matter what type of flooring you have consistent cleaning will ensure that it lasts longer and remains in top condition.
The Appearance of Your Floors and Patient Perceptions
Your floor's appearance makes a powerful statement about the quality of services provided, the level of attention given, and how much pride staff take in their work environment. This subliminal cue influences people's state of mind, and their level of confidence in the business. Patients are consumers too. Patients perceive shiny, well-maintained floors with cleanliness and quality.
The Cost of Improper Floor Care
Flooring is one of the most expensive features of your practice. It is also the surface that takes the most abuse throughout the course of the day. Over time, dirt and grit in high traffic areas can cause permanent damage to your floor surfaces. Carpet fibers can become damaged from ground in dirt or spills, hard floor surfaces get scratched from furniture or shoes, and as floor finish wears down, the more susceptible to damage the floor becomes. It costs more in time, labor, and material to repair a damaged floor than it does to maintain the floor on an ongoing basis.
Over time, chairs can leave deep scratches in floor surfaces resulting in unsightly appearance and costly replacement.
But they don't have to...
Routine floor care can prevent scratches from damaging floor surfaces, and ensures an inviting look every time.
