Floor Finish & Floor Wax Terms and Definitions in Plain Language:

Published by cleaningjl under Cleaning, Cleaning Supplies, Cleaning Tips, Floor Finishing, Flooring, Janitorial Products, Maintenance Edit This

Floor Finish & Floor Wax Terms and Definitions in Plain Language: What is in Floor Finish and Floor Wax?

Alkali Soluble Resins
Alkali Soluble Resins are resins that can be mixed in with an alkaline solution. Resins are thick liquids that harden when dry. Alkaline Solutions are soapy, slippery and caustic, and are easily removed from a floor by stripping. The resins in the solution contribute gloss and leveling, while the alkali in the solution allows removal by stripping.
Biocides
Literally translated, bio means “living,” and cide means “kill.” Biocides eliminate and protect against bacteria and mold, which would ruin a floor finish before it is used.
Defoamers
Defoamers allow floor finish to dry without dried foam bubbles.
Plasticizers
Plasticizers are chemicals that allow the wet polish film to dry into a tough, durable film. There are two types of plasticizers: permanent and fugitive. Permanent Plasticizers stay in the film for the life of the polish, while Fugitive Plasticizers disintegrate during the drying process. Both types of plasticizers are required in a balanced floor finish formula and have a significant effect on the performance of a floor polish film. Permanent Plasticizers contribute to durability, while Fugitive Plasticizers help equally distribute and level the floor finish. Fugitive Plasticizers are also called “coalescents.”
Polyethylene or Wax Emulsions
Emulsions are combinations of two liquids that normally would not combine, such as oil and water. Obviously, wax and water would not naturally mix well, either. Polyethylene or wax emulsions allow the polyethylene or wax to be mixed with water to allow easy application on a floor.
Polymers
Polymers make the finish stronger. They can be described as extremely small plastic and wax beads that melt when the floor finish is applied.
Stabilizers
Stabilizers protect floor finish products during shipping and storage until they are used. Without stabilizers, high or freezing temperatures during transportation and storage would ruin some of the properties of floor care products.
Wetting Agents
Wetting Agent is a general term used to describe chemicals that help a solution emulsify, spread, and level on a floor.

The “green cleaning” category on ShopCleaningSupplies.com has all the environmentally friendly cleaning supplies and janitorial products you need. We carry a large variety of products that are eco-friendly, safe and biodegradable. Even the product containers are often made from recycled materials!

Using green cleaning products makes sense for many reasons. These products preserve our natural resources and provide increased safety for those using them. Green cleaning supplies and green janitorial products are two of the fastest growing product categories of our business. Many customers purchase all-purpose green cleaners, green bathroom cleaning products and green kitchen cleaning products for home, business or industrial use. In the cleaning business and other industries, more and more people are purchasing all-natural, environmentally friendly products. We’ve assembled our “green cleaning” product line to meet this demand, but more importantly, because it is the right thing to do.

Green cleaning products are good for the health of people who use them as well as the health of our planet. While all cleaning products must be strong enough to destroy dirt and germs, green cleaning products are designed to produce outstanding cleaning results and be biodegradable and environmentally responsible. Homeowners and business owners alike are increasingly looking for highly effective cleaning products which are safe for the environment. ShopCleaningSupplies.com offers green cleaning products that actually clean and are formulated with non-toxic, biodegradable, bleach-free ingredients.

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture fine particles as tiny as 0.3 microns in size, helping reduce dust and other allergens. With bagless vacuums, you do not even have to buy and discard filters!

Our paper supplies are perfect for green living. We have recycled paper supplies (all of which are made from recycled paper), including: recycled facial tissues, recycled paper napkins, recycled paper towels and recycled trash bags. We even carry toilet paper made from recycled paper.

For environmentally friendly restaurants and food service businesses, we carry a great assortment of green restaurant and food service products. We offer cutlery, knives, forks, and spoons made from recycled materials, plus paper bowls, paper cups and paper plates, all made from recycled paper.

Green disinfectant deodorizers get the job done, yet have formulas that are natural and earth-friendly. These products usually include lemon, orange and other natural scents.

  • Clorox Green Works™ Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
  • Clorox Green Works™ Natural Bathroom Cleaner

Carpet Cleaning Tips:

Published by cleaningjl under Cleaning, Cleaning Supplies, Cleaning Tips, Floor Finishing, Flooring, Janitorial Products, Maintenance Edit This

Carpet Cleaning Tips: How to Clean Residential Carpets

Utilize these carpet cleaning tips from ShopCleaningSupplies.com and get your home carpet clean!

Floor and carpet care make up the majority of our business at ShopCleaningSupplies.com. Not only do we sell carpet cleaning supplies, we know how to use them. This page is a simple carpet cleaning guide which will help you properly select and use carpet cleaning supplies to get your home carpet clean.

Nylon and Polyester are the most common materials used in home carpets. Our carpet cleaning guide provides an overview of the most well-proven carpet cleaning tools, carpet cleaning chemicals and methods for removing stains from these materials. If you know the manufacturer of your carpet, it is also a good idea to check with them to find out which rug cleaner will work the best. If you do not know the manufacturer of your carpet, it’s best to play it safe when choosing your rug cleaners. Browse through all of our carpet cleaners to see which one is right for your rug.

Vacuuming is the most common and most important procedure for cleaning carpets. You must vacuum your carpet thoroughly before cleaning it with carpet cleaning chemicals. If you do not completely vacuum your carpet beforehand, cleaning it with chemicals will waste your time and money…and may even cause damage. For help choosing a professional-quality vacuum cleaner, check out our online guide, “How to Choose the Right Vacuum Cleaner“. After vacuuming, pre-spray the carpet, then use an optional but recommended citrus boost.

After pre-spraying, there are two main methods which are used to clean carpets. The first method is carpet extraction. Carpet extraction uses hot water, a chemical called a carpet extractor, and a special type of floor machine. The second method is bonnet cleaning. Bonnet carpet cleaning is a relatively dry method which uses special chemicals and a special kind of floor pad.

After cleaning, you may want to consider a chemical carpet protector. While stain-resistant carpets are common, no carpet is truly stain proof. Your next steps are to brush the carpet and then dry, using (if necessary) one of our air movers and floor fans.

Visit the carpet cleaning supplies section of our site to find great deals on our brand name, professional strength carpet cleaning products. Also, check out our line of vacuums for the best in durable, professional equipment. Be sure to check out the HEPA vacuums, which are highly effective at removing even the smallest particles of dirt, dust and other allergens from your home carpet.

For the environmentally conscious, we offer many green carpet cleaning supplies.

Our carpet cleaning supplies and chemicals will make the process as simple as possible.
