Welcome to our guide on maintaining hard surfaces with FILA’s PS87 . Clean, pristine surfaces are crucial for making a lasting first impression, whether in a restaurant, hotel, or store. This post will explore why clean surfaces are crucial, how they reflect professionalism, and the benefits of using PS87 to achieve superior results. Let’s dive into how this heavy-duty cleaner can revolutionize your maintenance routine.
The Importance of Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is essential to maintain the appearance and sanitization of hard surfaces. It goes beyond routine cleaning, effectively eliminating harmful germs, extending the lifespan of things like flooring, and preventing costly repairs. Consistently clean and well-maintained surfaces impress visitors and influence their perception of the premises’ business operations.
In addition, deep cleaning supports these critical aspects:
- Enhanced Durability: Deep cleaning helps protect floors from wear and tear, extending their lifespan.
- Compliance with Standards: Ensures floors meet health and safety regulations and standards.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Removes pollutants and allergens, improving indoor air quality.
- Prevention of Odors: Eliminates sources of odors that can affect indoor environments.
- Staining Prevention: Helps prevent permanent staining and discoloration of flooring materials.
How Often Should You Deep Clean?
Routine cleaning of commercial floors should occur daily to remove dirt and dust and maintain essential surface cleanliness. Consider a fortnightly or monthly schedule for deeper cleaning to address surface soiling effectively. The frequency depends on the type of surface, level of foot traffic, and specific cleaning needs.
PS87 offers a versatile solution for both routine and deep cleaning tasks:
- Routine Cleaning: Dilute PS87 according to recommended ratios to maintain cleanliness and remove light soils.
- Deep Cleaning: Use PS87 undiluted or diluted at higher concentrations to effectively tackle tougher stains and ground-in dirt.
By incorporating PS87 into your cleaning schedule, you can optimize maintenance efforts, extend the lifespan of flooring materials, and ensure a consistently clean and presentable environment for building occupants and visitors.

- Apply the diluted solution to the porcelain tile surface.
- Scrub vigorously with an abrasive pad to remove dirt and grime.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove residues.
Heavy Dirt Build-Up:

Natural Stone
Cleaning:
- To Clean Unpolished Natural Stone: Dilute PS87 1:10 when cleaning matte, honed, and natural-finish stone surfaces. This concentration removes dirt and grime while preserving the stone’s texture and appearance.

Wax Removal:
