A dirty floor can reflect badly on a facility's reputation. For many, cleanliness is a primary indicator of the overall quality of care, according to an article on the McKnight's website.
And it's not enough to look clean, the article said. Viruses like influenza and norovirus can survive and spread on any hard surface, including floors.
Safety is obviously another important issue. Long-term care setting should have matte floor finishes rather than a bright shine.
Using the right cleaning product for a particular flooring is also important as the wrong cleaner can damage the floor in addition to not getting it clean.
