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.

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.

Fresh air is important, especially in high traffic areas of your home or business. Odors from smoke, food, cleaners, perfumes and other sources can cause big problems.

Air fresheners are used in every room: for odor control and removal in kitchens, bathrooms, offices, storage rooms and many other types of rooms. Choose from dry deodorants, liquid deodorants, fan dispensers & gel packs, or metered air fresheners & refills.

Urinal & bowl deodorizers, urinal & bowl blocks, urinal floor mats and urinal screens will help keep odors minimized. A scented deodorizer not only can eliminate odor, but will add the freshness of a floral bouquet, natural pine scent, or any of a number of other clean smelling scents (including non-scented) to the air in your home or business.
