its probably altro safety flooring, normal mopping makes it worse, the best thing is a microsplitter, we use Stapro Single pass, about a tenner for 5 litres, and dilute 10 to 1 and mop on and leave for 1 to 2 mins max. then scrub and pickup, unless you got a scrubber dryeridealrob

Usually toilet floors are Altro or Porcelain tiles. Let me know exactly and I will supply you with a method statement to clean them.Kev MartinMarble Life Ltd"Natural Stone Renovation Specialists"hi,i spoke to the flooring guys who fitted it as they were back doing a couple of smaller jobs at this pub.it a light cream Altro flooring, they said they told the powers that be that it would need a seal but they didnt want it as it would take away some of the non slip.i asked why such a light colour for a busy pub - floor guys said its such a light colour as if it was a dark colour - yes it would hide alot of dirt but if a dark shade any urine could bleach the floor.they said to me its a bad choice of colour has Altro flooring strips the soles of trainers and goes into the floor.so all in all its not a good combination - wet & sticky beer with light coloured altro flooring.the main problem is we are contracyed in at once a week for 6 hours to help the part time daily cleaner - (who is really really bad at cleaning) pub manager is very aware of this but doesnt want to sack him off at mo.
