If floors are getting bad, increase how often they are mopped. If removing the water and moisture isn’t enough, floors can be burnished on occasion. If burnishing is required, be sure to clean the floor before the process. During the winter, more dirt and soil is being tracked in, so there’s a greater chance of it being ground into the finish, causing the finish to yellow.
To prevent problems, floors could receive a deep scrub and a few additional coats of finish prior to the winter months, especially in high-traffic areas.
