January is an ideal time to plan and ensure that your facility's floor, parking lot and grounds are ready to support your operations throughout the year. To help you stay ahead, we've crafted an easy-to-follow commercial floor cleaning and maintenance timeline tailored to keep your floor, concrete and asphalt surfaces in top condition regardless of the season.

January: Start Fresh

Kick off the year with a thorough inspection and cleaning. Address issues such as holes, cracks, spalled concrete, aesthetic concerns and safety hazards. Early repairs will prevent more significant problems down the road.

February: Stock Up on Essentials 

Order DIY products for patching, repairs and routine maintenance to have them on hand when needed.

March: Post-Winter Repairs 

Schedule repairs or resurfacing for parking lots, traffic decks and sidewalks to address damage caused by harsh winter conditions and snow-melting chemicals.

April: Plan for Summer Shutdowns

If your facility closes during the summer holidays, schedule major maintenance projects now to minimize disruption.

May: Prepare for Cleaning

Order floor cleaning products for the year to ensure you have the right supplies to maintain your floor effectively.

June: Safety and Branding Upgrades

Enhance safety and aesthetics by adding yellow safety striping, demarcations or even custom logos to your floors.

July: Educate Your Team  

Schedule an in-house training session with a QuestMark professional to give your team the tools they need to successfully maintain or repair your facility's floor.

August: Winter Holiday Planning  

Prepare for year-end maintenance by scheduling work during winter plant shutdowns.

September: Budget Smart

Conduct inspections to evaluate your floor's condition and prepare budgets for upcoming projects, repairs or safety improvements.

October: Polish Your Floors

Review your polished concrete's gloss and dust-proof warranty. Ensure your floors are clean, shiny and compliant with industry standards.

November: Winter-Proof Your Floors 

Install walk-off mats to minimize slips and protect your floors from winter salt damage. Consider applying SaltGuard to exterior surfaces for added protection.

December: Lock in Savings 

Sign a Winter Price Freeze contract to complete upcoming work in 2026 at 2025 prices.
