We have a real issue with our wood floor, which seems significantly more slippery than it should be, even with the dust buildup we get.

Can anyone recommend a cleaning solution that will help the floor remain tacky and clean?

It is possible that we may have used the wrong type of varnish - what would be the optimal varnish for an indoor wooden floor?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wood shavings/sawdust that has been treated with a floor mop oil. It works wonders on those slippery floors and requires no drying time. For every pound of shavings/sawdust, mix in a cup of floor mop oil and mix thouroughly. Sprinkle it on the floor in front of yur 60" mop and you'll be amazed at how well it works!

We have used the Court Clean and the Tac-Tite Speed Mop at our facility. Our floors have never been cleaner on a regular basis. We have saved 1 recoat a year. We are very pleased to recommend the Gym Floor Resource website.

This is how our gym floor is maintained.

It gets a new urethane finish every 2 years.

No need of special equipment. Dry mop floor every day. Two times a week wet mop floor using Hi-Trac made by Multi-Clean, www.multi-clean.com

Damp mop it. Do not have it too wet. Rinsing is not necessary.

Got complains of the floor being slippery before using Hi-Trac. Have been using Hi-Trac for many years and have not received any complaints since its inception.

Most of the mops on the market do the same thing - they sweep dust. You need a mop that has microcleanze technology because it pulls more dirt off your floor.

More importantly you need a high quality cleaner. Most of the floor cleaners leave a soap residue that over time cause your floor to get cloudy, dull, and slippery. The soap residue must be removed by heavy cleaning using straight water. If you have an autoscrubber use white pads with water only.
