floor cleaning

Tidying ground level

Floor cleaning is the process of removing dirt, debris, and stains from floor surfaces.

Methods vary by material—sweeping and mopping for tile, vacuuming for carpet, polishing for hardwood.

The term covers both routine household maintenance and professional services: The office contracts out its floor cleaning.
