First impressions matter. Especially when you’re welcoming prospective residents into a building.
We were recently called in to carry out a one-off clean of a residential building’s communal entrance lobby, which had developed a significant build-up of ingrained dirt under its existing cleaning arrangements.
The flooring was receiving routine cleaning by the building’s cleaning contractor, but as these photographs show, that wasn’t enough to prevent dirt becoming embedded over time.
Using our professional equipment, we were able to lift the accumulated grime and reveal just how different the flooring could look.
And it raises an important question: what impression does a lobby floor in this condition give to prospective residents attending viewings, or visitors entering the building for the first time?
Communal entrances are often the first thing people see. Their appearance can influence perceptions of how well the entire property is maintained.
Regular mopping has its place, but in busy residential buildings, periodic machine cleaning can make a significant difference.
Sometimes you don’t realise just how dirty a floor has become until you start cleaning it!
