title: Savings underfoot--the key steps to take.
abstract: Floors are one of the biggest capital assets of the healthcare estate and, under a continual stampede of feet, suffer the most wear and abuse of all, making it unsurprising that flooring--of whatever type--is regularly replaced, despite the considerable potential expense. Richard Harrison, operations manager of floor cleaning experts, PHS Interclean, argues, however, that replacement can frequently be avoided, and the lifetime of floors extended, using the latest maintenance and preservation methods.
