Bacteria, yuck! These microorganisms are the most common cause of most illness, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States. To make matters worse, floor bacteria are extremely prolific, they exist in parasitic relationship with plants and animals and they can even survive in radioactive waste.
Yeah, you didn’t want to read that last statement. Right? Unfortunately, it’s true. Floor bacteria get a foot in the door and then go elsewhere in the house on the soles of our shoes. Even the ‘5-second rule’ has been scientifically debunked. The truth of the matter is, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on the earth, and as time goes by, more and more of the little buggers are becoming resistant to antibiotics. So, how do you prevent problematic floor bacteria in your home or business?
Easy-to-clean Hybrid Flooring
Your first line of defense against harmful floor bacteria is an easy-to-clean flooring product. V-8’s Hybrid XT Floor Coatings are the ideal choice. The seamless, resin coating is available in hundreds of colors and finishes, from vinyl chip to platinum pigment to all natural mica chip. The V-8 Hybrid XT flooring compliments any style of décor, and each V-8 floor installed is one-of-a-kind.
Regular Cleaning
Your next line of defense in the battle against dangerous floor bacteria is regular cleaning. Unlike carpeting that holds onto dirt and bacteria even after vacuuming and shampooing, your Hybrid XT flooring has no seams or grout lines for floor bacteria to hide. Because all that is required is regular sweeping and mopping with warm water and a gentle cleanser, floor bacteria is no longer a concern.
Your final tactic for winning the battle against floor bacteria is the use of a powerful cleanser that kills bacteria on contact. We recommend Xtreme Clean Super Concentrate Cleaner. Wait; didn’t you just read, ‘gentle cleanser’? Yes, you did. Xtreme Clean Super Concentrate Clear has been formulated in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide a gentle, safer, more environmentally friendly cleaning solution without sacrificing powerful performance.
Go ahead, let the baby down to crawl on your clean, beautiful floors. When you choose flooring from V-8 High-Performance Floors, you CAN stop floor bacteria in its tracks.
