How do you fix slippery floors?
You can fix unsafe floors by applying non-slip products to make floors safe. So what are these solutions? The first and most popular way to create safe floors is to get a non-slip floor coating. This coating is a miracle worker, making your unsafe floors slip easy to walk on. The technology behind it is extremely clever. First, it is important to clean the floors properly before they can be applied.
To do this, a special cleaning formula is used. This formula has been designed to clean thoroughly and pick up any oil and grease that the naked eye may not see. The solution can be added once the floors are completely clean and dry again. While the solution is being added, it creates microscopic pores on your existing unsafe floor. This is where the technology starts to kick in. These pores act like microscopic suction cups and make the floor non-slip. Most people worry that the floor will become sticky when they apply non-slip floor coatings. This is not the case at all. Also, you will not have to worry about having a weird-looking residue on the floor as the solution dries completely clear.
Now you can change unsafe floors into safe floors without ruining the aesthetics in your home. This solution is suitable for several materials and can be used indoors and outdoors. Providing you with the knowledge that your family will be safe wherever they tread.
