In Wisconsin, Winter is ALWAYS right around the corner. And that means snow, ice, and a lot of extra work.
Driving becomes more cautious, parking lots get blocked with snow. Plus, all that mess tracks inside to ruin the beautiful floors and carpets you’ve been scrubbing, buffing, and polishing all summer!

Lesser mortals get clobbered by this non-stop streams of dirty snow and slip-fall incidents. But, the best facility pros laugh in the face of mean ole Mr. Winter.
All because they have a well-stocked winter cleaning toolkit that includes these three essential items…
#1 – Floor Matting. Do you have enough?
Did you know…
- The cost of removing a single pound of dirt from a building can run in excess of $600 in cleaning costs?
- The average slip fall injury exceeds $12,000?
- Defending a slip-fall case averages another $50,000 in legal costs?
Yikes!
But, you can avoid all of that with a proper matting plan. Only 10-15 feet of matting in the right spots can reduce 80% of the total volume of salt and snow entering your building.
And KleenMark offers a huge selection of matting solutions (from economy to custom logo products and shapes). We can even come to your location with options and samples.
#2 – Ice Melt. Don’t miss the ordering window!
Any facility pro worth their…ahem salt…knows that ice melt is the best way to quickly keep your sidewalks safe and clear.
These tiny, magical crystals help to lower the melting point of the frozen water (aka snow and ice) around them. And that can reduce the slip-fall risk on your parking lots and sidewalks while making the task of shovel and snow removal easier!
However, that also means it is really easy to go through a lot of ice melt FAST. And the worst thing that can happen is for you to run our and not be able to source more in February after that huge snow storm.
The real secret of great facility pros is that they order their ice melt early!
In case you don’t know, ice melt suppliers have to give priority to their transportation contracts after a certain date (usually in October).
That means prices will go (way) up and you can no longer be able to guarantee delivery dates or quantities.
But, at KleenMark for example, if you order by October 14th, 2019:
- You’ll get low, pre-season pricing you’ll find hard to beat.
- We’ll also store your entire order until you need it in our Madison, WI warehouse.
- We’ll deliver it to your facility at no charge! That means you don’t need to find space for 2 pallets (or more) of 50 lbs bags!
And the great thing is you have multiple options when it comes to ice melt. Whether you’re looking for something that’s safe and good for the environment or has maximum melting power, KleenMark has you covered.

#3 – Ice Melt Remover
Once you’ve used a bunch of that ice melt you pre-ordered…sometimes you will end up with a little salty residue on your carpets, floors, and mats.
That’s just the nature of ice melt. Even with the best products. However, there is an easy solution to remove those salt rings!
Concept “915” Ice Melt Remover is a simple cleaning solution for ice melt that works on both hard surfaces and carpets.
One pouch creates 5 gallons of a powerful chelating cleaner that suspend the salt and chlorides so they can be easily removed.
Yes, you can try scrubbing with other cleanings, but sometimes using the right tool makes your job 10x easier. And this simple and cheap solution definitely falls in that category.
Summary
So, if you’re a Wisconsin Facility Pro we highly recommend that you:
- Have a enough matting (at least 10-15 feet in entrances)
- Pre-order your Ice Melt (before mid-october)
- Use Ice Melt Remover to make clean up easy!
