Soybase Original's Role in Industrial Flooring

January 13, 2025

As the Founder and CEO of Cox Industries, I've seen firsthand how the right cleaning solution can transform a workplace. Today, I want to share with you the story of SoyBase Original and how it's changing the game in industrial floor safety.

The Hidden Dangers Lurking Beneath Our Feet

Let's face it, when we think about workplace hazards, our minds often jump to the big stuff - heavy machinery, electrical risks, or chemical spills. But the truth is, one of the biggest threats to worker safety is right under our noses... or should I say, under our feet.

Industrial flooring might not seem like the most exciting topic, but trust me, it's a big deal. Every year, thousands of workers are injured in slip-and-fall accidents, many of which could have been prevented with proper floor maintenance.

The Real Cost of Dirty Floors

Now, you might be thinking, "Shane, it's just a dirty floor. What's the big deal?" Well, let me break it down for you:

  • Safety Risks: Slippery surfaces are like accidents waiting to happen. One wrong step, and you've got a worker out of commission.
  • Health Hazards: Those chemical residues aren't just unsightly - they can be downright dangerous if they're not properly cleaned up.
  • Equipment Damage: Dirt and grime don't just affect people. They can wreak havoc on your expensive machinery too.
  • Productivity Loss: When workers are tiptoeing around dirty or slippery areas, they're not working at their best.

Enter SoyBase Original: The Game-Changer

This is where SoyBase Original comes in. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Another cleaning product? What makes this one so special?" Well, buckle up, because I'm about to tell you.

The Science Behind the Shine

SoyBase Original isn't your run-of-the-mill floor cleaner. We've developed a biodegradable formula that's tough on grime but gentle on surfaces and the environment. Here's what makes it tick:

  • Micelle Technology: This fancy term basically means our cleaner can surround and lift dirt particles, making them easy to wipe away.
  • pH-Balanced Formula: We've struck the perfect balance - strong enough to tackle tough stains, but not so harsh that it damages your floors.
  • Non-Corrosive Properties: Your floors will thank you. Our formula cleans without eating away at the surface.

More Than Just Clean - It's About Safety

But SoyBase Original isn't just about making your floors sparkle (although it does a darn good job of that too). It's about creating a safer work environment. Here's how:

  • Superior Degreasing: We cut through those stubborn oils and greases that can turn your floor into a slip 'n slide.
  • Residue-Free Cleaning: Unlike some cleaners that leave a slippery film behind, we leave your floors clean and safe to walk on.
  • Eco-Friendly Formula: Safe for your workers, safe for the planet. It's a win-win.

Real Stories, Real Results

Now, I could go on all day about the science and specs of SoyBase Original, but I know what you really want to hear are results. So let me share a few stories from folks who've made the switch:

The Manufacturing Marvel

Joe's Manufacturing was having a heck of a time with oil spills on their shop floor. They were going through absorbent pads like crazy, and still, the floor was a slipping hazard. After switching to SoyBase Original, they saw a 50% reduction in slip-and-fall incidents. Plus, they're saving a bundle on those pricey absorbent pads.

The Food Processing Feat

Over at Fresh Foods Inc., they were struggling to meet the stringent cleanliness standards for food processing facilities. Their old cleaner just wasn't cutting it. Enter SoyBase Original. Not only did they pass their next health inspection with flying colors, but they also reported a noticeable improvement in air quality. Turns out, getting rid of those harsh chemical cleaners made a big difference.

The Automotive Turnaround

Mike's Auto Shop had been fighting a losing battle against oil stains for years. No matter what they tried, those pesky marks just wouldn't budge. SoyBase Original changed all that. Now, their shop floor looks so good, they've actually had customers comment on how clean it is. And as any business owner knows, when customers notice your cleanliness, that's a good sign.

Making the Switch: Implementing SoyBase Original

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "Sounds great, Shane, but how do I actually use this stuff?" Don't worry, I've got you covered. Here's a quick guide to getting the most out of SoyBase Original:

  1. Start with a Deep Clean: Before you begin your regular maintenance, give your floors a thorough initial cleaning with SoyBase Original. This will give you a clean slate to work from.
  2. Develop a Regular Schedule: Consistency is key. Set up a cleaning schedule based on your facility's needs. High-traffic areas might need daily attention, while others can be cleaned less frequently.
  3. Train Your Team: Make sure everyone knows how to use SoyBase Original properly. A little education goes a long way in getting the best results.
  4. Focus on Problem Areas: Pay extra attention to areas prone to spills or heavy soil buildup. A little extra elbow grease in these spots can make a big difference.
  5. Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on how your floors are holding up and adjust your cleaning routine as needed. Every facility is different, so don't be afraid to tweak things.

The Ripple Effect: Beyond Clean Floors

Now, here's where it gets really exciting. When you start using SoyBase Original, you're not just getting cleaner floors. You're setting off a chain reaction of positive changes in your workplace:

Boosted Productivity

When your workers aren't worried about slipping or navigating around dirty areas, they can focus on their jobs. We've had customers report significant increases in productivity after implementing SoyBase Original in their cleaning routines.

Improved Morale

Never underestimate the power of a clean workspace. When employees see that you're investing in their safety and comfort, it boosts morale. Happy workers are productive workers, folks.

Enhanced Company Image

First impressions matter. Whether it's a potential client, a health inspector, or a job candidate, a clean facility sends a message that you care about quality and attention to detail.

Cost Savings

Sure, there's an upfront cost to switching to a premium cleaner like SoyBase Original. But when you factor in reduced accidents, less wear and tear on your floors, and improved efficiency, most of our customers find they're actually saving money in the long run.

The Future of Floor Safety

At Cox Industries, we're not content to rest on our laurels. We're constantly looking for ways to improve SoyBase Original and develop new solutions for industrial cleaning challenges. Here's a sneak peek at what we're working on:
