Floor Care Classes

[greenclean09]

I'm considering taking a 2 day class on floor care. The class teaches you how to identify different types of tile and the proper cleaning techniques, it also teaches you about floor stripping and waxing as well as the proper chemicals and waxes to use. I have a friend of mine who strips floors but he seems to care more about speed than anything. I want to know that I'm doing things right and I figured taking a class would certainly teach me the right way to do things. What do you guys suggest?

You can`t go wrong with any type of education.

::)SPEED,SPEED,AND MORE SPEED.


This was the way my fellow employees that where training me to do extended floor maintenance trained me to do floors.

I never knew someone could throw a low speed swing around so fast. Slurry half way up the wall and absolutely nothing done to improve the floor. But hay as long as its shiny its good right.


Slow it down and do a good job. With practice you will eventually speed up and still do an exceptional job,

Don't forget most of your work will come from word of mouth. Not only good work, but also bad work.

As far as a 2 day training class, That is up to you. I have found most of them are product sails pitches, but you do learn a few things. It could never hurt unless you spend a lot of money on them.

One of the most interesting things I learned about the training class I went to was the fact over 89% of the people thought they where stripping a floor when in fact they where causing more damage to the shine and look do to chemically applying a stripper and not fully rinsing it.

That said classes are a good idea as long as its not a product pitch and you are willing to learn and be the best you possibly can!!!

WE ALL LOVE A LITTLE COMPATITION..
It keeps us honest.


Good luck and have fun in life.
