Mastering Floor Maintenance with Cox Industries' SoyBase Original

January 13, 2025

As the founder of Cox Industries, I've seen firsthand how proper floor maintenance can make or break a facility's operations. That's why I'm excited to share my insights on mastering floor care with our game-changing product, SoyBase Original. Let's dive into the world of industrial cleaning and discover how this innovative solution can transform your approach to floor maintenance.

The Floor Care Challenge

Every day, facility managers across the country face the same dilemma: how to keep their floors clean, safe, and looking great without breaking the bank or harming the environment. It's a tough balancing act, but one that's crucial for any business that wants to maintain a professional image and ensure the safety of its employees and visitors.

The Hidden Costs of Poor Floor Maintenance

You might think that skimping on floor care is a smart way to cut costs, but let me tell you, it's penny-wise and pound-foolish. Neglected floors don't just look bad; they can lead to:

  • Slip-and-fall accidents: A major liability for any business
  • Premature wear and tear: Forcing you to replace flooring sooner than necessary
  • Decreased property value: Affecting your bottom line in the long run

Enter SoyBase Original: A Game-Changer in Floor Care

When we developed SoyBase Original at Cox Industries, we had one goal in mind: to create a cleaning solution that would tackle the toughest industrial grime without compromising on safety or environmental responsibility. And boy, did we deliver!

The Science Behind SoyBase

Our biodegradable formula is based on the power of soybean oil, a renewable resource that's as tough on dirt as it is gentle on surfaces. Here's what makes SoyBase Original stand out:

  • Powerful degreasing action: Cuts through oil and grime like a hot knife through butter
  • pH-neutral composition: Safe for use on a wide range of surfaces
  • Low-foam formula: Perfect for use in automatic floor scrubbers

Tackling Different Floor Types with SoyBase Original

One size doesn't fit all when it comes to floor care. That's why SoyBase Original is designed to be versatile enough to handle various flooring materials with ease.

Concrete Floors: The Industrial Workhorse

Concrete floors are tough, but they're not invincible. Regular cleaning with SoyBase Original helps:

  • Prevent staining: Our formula penetrates deep to lift out oil and grease
  • Maintain slip resistance: Keeping your workforce safe and productive
  • Extend floor life: Reducing the need for costly resurfacing

Tile and Grout: The Detail-Oriented Cleaning

Tile floors can be a bear to keep clean, especially when it comes to those pesky grout lines. SoyBase Original makes light work of this challenging surface:

  • Grout line cleaning: Our low-viscosity formula seeps into grout for a deep clean
  • Stain removal: Say goodbye to discolored tiles
  • Safe for all tile types: From ceramic to porcelain and everything in between

Vinyl and Linoleum: Gentle Yet Effective

Resilient flooring like vinyl and linoleum needs a delicate touch. SoyBase Original provides:

  • Streak-free cleaning: Leaving floors with a brilliant shine
  • Scuff mark removal: Erasing the signs of daily wear and tear
  • Preservation of floor finish: Extending the life of your flooring investment

The SoyBase Original Cleaning Process

Now, let's talk about how to put SoyBase Original to work in your facility. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

  1. Dilute: Mix SoyBase Original with water according to the soil level
  2. Apply: Use a mop, automatic scrubber, or pressure washer to distribute the solution
  3. Rinse: For heavily soiled areas, a light rinse will leave your floors spotless

Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

  • Pre-treat stubborn stains: Apply SoyBase Original directly to tough spots before general cleaning
  • Use warm water: This can enhance the cleaning power for particularly grimy areas
  • Allow dwell time: Let the solution sit for a few minutes on heavily soiled surfaces
