Winter 2004 - Article 8

From The Lab
Winter Floor Care


We all know the perils of applying floor finish during the hot, humid months of the summer. Applying finish in the winter doesn’t pose the same challenge as the summer, but there are still a few things to remember:

  • Always warm the finish to room temperature, whether for resilient floors or wood floors, before applying.

  • Do not apply finish if the temperature is below 60°F in the facility itself.

  • If humidity is very low (< 30%), apply a little heavier coat to avoid flash drying.

  • Use Blue Concentrate (#2085) to clean floors where salt residue is a problem. This is especially useful before recoats.
