OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In this episode of the Facility Focus Podcast, I sit down with Kevin Richardson, Technical Director at NeverStrip Floor Coatings, to break down commercial floor types and how facilities can rethink long-term maintenance.
We cover VCT, LVT, tile, concrete, and rubber flooring, along with the traditional strip-and-wax cycle and why many facilities are moving toward more sustainable, lower-maintenance solutions.
This is a must-listen for facility managers, building engineers, and janitorial contractors looking to improve floor performance, reduce labor, and extend asset life.

· Why the traditional strip-and-wax model is breaking down
· How modern floor coatings reduce labor and long-term costs
· Daily and periodic maintenance best practices (flat mop vs string mop, auto scrubbers, pads)
· How to calculate ROI on floor coating systems
· Common mistakes in floor care programs
· Tile and grout restoration and sealing systems
· How coatings improve cleanability, durability, and appearance
· Sustainability benefits including reduced water and chemical usage
