Protecting Your Floors From Ice Melt Compounds

1. Use doormats or runners at all entrance and exit areas to capture as much of the residue as possible. 2. Vacuum the mats often and clean using the wet extraction method. 3. Keep one or two replacement sets of mats for the winter season. 4. Clean carpets by vacuuming at least three times a day. 5. Clean carpets by wet extraction after each snowstorm or after each use of ice melt compound. 6. To clean the oily residue from hard surface floors, use water. DO NOT use wet mop, as the mop itself can become contaminated with significant amounts of residue and spread to the rest of your floors.
