The Importance of Slip-Resistant Protection in Southwest Florida Homes
Living in our beautiful corner of the world in Southwest Florida, we enjoy sunshine, poolside fun, and stunning tile and natural stone floors throughout our homes. But with that paradise comes a serious safety concern—slippery floors. Whether it’s a glossy bathroom tile, a wet kitchen floor, or poolside pavers, these surfaces can quickly become hazards, especially for seniors, children, and anyone with mobility challenges.
At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we understand the risks and have the solution—professional slip-resistant protection. We’re proud to offer the same treatment that’s been trusted for over thirty years in hospitals, restaurants, nursing homes, and other high-traffic commercial settings.
Let’s examine why our service is a game-changer for families and businesses in Lee, Charlotte, and Collier County.
Why Slippery Floors Are a Hidden Danger in Paradise
A Risk That’s Closer Than You Think
That beautiful ceramic or natural stone flooring in your home may be stunning, but when wet, it can become a danger zone. Water from spills, showers, or pool splashes turns these surfaces into slick traps. For seniors in Southwest Florida, where retirement living is everyday, that’s a real cause for concern.
Statistics Don’t Lie
One in three seniors falls each year in the U.S.
Slips often occur in kitchens, bathrooms, and around pools, where hard surfaces and water interact.
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related ER visits among older adults.
How Our Slip-Resistant Application Works
Not a Coating—A Long-Term Solution
Unlike non-slip coatings that wear down, discolor, and peel within months, our slip-resistant application microscopically etches the surface of the flooring. This creates a permanent traction pattern invisible to the eye but highly effective underfoot—even when wet.
Lasts Up to Four Years or More
- No peeling
- No yellowing
- No reapplication is needed every few months
- This professional-grade treatment has a lifespan of four years or longer, indoors or out.
Where Can Slip-Resistant Treatment Be Applied?
Versatility Is Our Specialty
Our service can be safely applied to:
- Ceramic Tile
- Porcelain Tile
- Natural Stone Surfaces (Travertine, Marble, Slate, etc.)

Indoor or Outdoor—We’ve Got You Covered
From slick bathroom and kitchen tiles to slippery lanai flooring, this solution works year-round under the Florida sun or inside your air-conditioned sanctuary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does your slip-resistant treatment last?
Our treatment lasts a minimum of 4 years, indoors or outdoors, depending on usage and foot traffic.
Will it change the look or feel of my floor?
The microscopic etching is invisible to the eye and provides superior traction when wet. Depending on the stone or tile type, quality, and color, very dark tiles or tiles with a highly polished finish might show a subtle lightening or a reduction in gloss after treatment. This is because the treatment alters the surface at a microscopic level, which can affect how light reflects.
Can this be used in showers or bathtubs?
Absolutely. It’s safe and highly effective on ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone in shower stalls and tubs.
Is the treatment safe for pets and kids?
Yes! It’s eco-friendly and non-toxic, so your entire family can enjoy the space.
What’s the process like? Will I need to stay off my floors?
Most treatments are completed within a few hours, and floors are ready to use within an hour of application.
