More Than Clean: The Case for Comprehensive Floor Care This Summer
When the final bell rings and students clear out, school floors are left with a story to tell—one of constant traffic, spills, scuffs, and strain. Summer break offers a rare and valuable opportunity: time to restore, repair, and protect those surfaces before another demanding school year begins.
Whether you’re a school official managing maintenance budgets or a contractor tasked with getting buildings ready, now is the moment to invest in long-term floor performance—not just a quick refresh.
1. Maintenance That Covers All the Bases
Daily cleaning matters—but it’s only one part of a much larger strategy. Curecrete’s complete floor maintenance system supports every stage of care:
Daily Cleaning
RF™ Hard Surface Cleaner, paired with Curecrete’s system of maintenance pads, provides more than surface-level shine. This combination is designed to deep clean, enhance, and maintain concrete and polished floors—preserving their performance and extending their life with every use.Quarterly or Semi-Annual Deep Cleans
For floors that have taken a beating or show signs of light etching and embedded grime, heavy-duty pads combined with RF™ Grind & Enhance deliver powerful results. This system removes extreme dirt buildup and lightly refines the surface—perfect for seasonal refreshes and restoring clarity and traction.Occassional Full Restoration (As Needed)
For older or heavily worn floors, Curecrete’s RetroFit™ Restoration System brings them back to life—reviving polished concrete using the same janitorial equipment already on-site. No waxes. No coatings. No specialized concrete grinding and polishing equipment.
2. Repair Before You Restore
Maintenance isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about making the surface whole again. Before any floor can be properly maintained, it needs to be structurally sound:

3. Add Protection Where It Matters Most
Different areas of a school face different challenges. In cafeterias and science labs, chemical resistance is critical due to the high likelihood of spills. In entryways and other high-traffic zones, added protection can help prevent staining and surface damage. Curecrete offers targeted solutions to meet these specific needs:

4. Build a Maintenance Plan That Lasts
Once repairs and upgrades are done, it’s essential to keep them that way. A well-planned schedule—daily, quarterly, and annually—ensures that cleaning is consistent, damage is caught early, and floors remain safe, attractive, and high-performing for years to come.
