We do them every night, there’s two ways:
- You apply a degreaser and scrub everything, move everything on wheels, then rinse with hot water and a garden hose, squeegee after, put everything back.
- Apply mild degreaser (otherwise the vacuum will foam up), then move, sweep, and scrub everything (specially edges), run SC about 800 psi, squeegee, put everything back.
we have a specific portable tile cleaning machine which is an electric p.w., a SC with vacuum capabilities, and a vacuum that automatically discharges into a drain.
Number one can be done by one person, number two should be done by two people.
What stinks is that you gotta work at night. Nothing to watch out for in particular i think, other than the floors being slippery and there’s sharp edges everywhere, careful with wires, don’t break anything. The thing is you’re there to clean what their employees won’t, so do a good job, bring a scraper for yummy corner grime
