Overview
Winter floor care for entrances and lobbies
Winter floor care is the cleaning that stops wet-season dirt at the door: entrance mat cleaning, machine scrubbing of hard floors, carpet extraction and salt-stain removal. Boots carry in mud, slush, sand or road salt, and it spreads from the entrance into the lobby and the first stretch of corridor.
The first job depends on the building. A tiled office lobby needs mats cleaned and floors scrubbed. A hotel corridor or an entrance runner needs extraction. Your free site assessment settles the scope, and the written quote follows within 1 business day.
A day porter covers lobby spills during business hours, see day porter and shift cleaning. Salt-stained carpet goes to commercial carpet cleaning, and a dulled finish goes to strip and wax.
Your schedule
Each region needs a different plan
-
BC coast
In Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, the wet season brings rain, mud and leaf debris through the door. Visits focus on entrance mats and the first stretch of floor inside.
-
Prairies
Chinook freeze-thaw swings in Calgary and the long cold in Winnipeg leave grit and sand on entrance floors. Visits focus on sand removal, vestibule mats and scrubbing.
-
Ontario
Road salt and slush drive the work in Toronto and Ottawa, and the snowbelt around Kitchener–Guelph–Hamilton adds heavy snowfall. Visits focus on salt-stain removal and carpet extraction.

Before the weather turns
Book mats and scrubbing early
Mat cleaning and floor scrubbing work best when they are on the calendar before the first heavy rain or snowfall. Send the number of entrances, the floor types and where the mats sit, and we scope the work from that.
Two guides go further. Winter floor care for commercial buildings lists what to schedule before the salt arrives, and rainy season office cleaning in Vancouver covers entrance and floor care through the wet months.
Recent work
Floor scrubbing on site
A crew member runs a blue auto scrubber down an aisle at Bosa Foods, one of our client sites. Lobby and corridor floors get the same machine work once the mats are clean.

FAQs
Winter floor care questions
It is a set of floor jobs timed to the wet or cold months: entrance mat cleaning, machine scrubbing of hard floors, carpet extraction and salt-stain removal. The mix depends on your city and your entrances. We confirm the scope at a free site assessment and send a written quote within 1 business day.
Grit and dried salt come off hard floors by machine scrubbing, and salt-stain removal deals with the white residue left behind. Entrance mats are cleaned so they hold less grit, and carpet is extracted along the traffic lanes. Tell us which door sees the most traffic and we start there.
In Vancouver and the Lower Mainland the wet season brings rain, mud and leaf debris. Visits centre on entrance mats and the floor just inside the door, with scrubbing as needed. Our guide to rainy season office cleaning in Vancouver explains what to schedule.
Extraction lifts salt from commercial carpet along entrances and corridors, and heavy staining is assessed on site. We don't promise full removal before we have seen the carpet. Book a free site assessment and the written quote covers the areas that need work.
It depends on foot traffic, how wet the weather is and how many doors you have. Mats at busy entrances fill up first, so they are scheduled more often than the rest of the floor. We set the frequency at the site assessment and the written quote states it.
