Why Slippery Tile Floors Are a Serious Problem
Wet tile or stone floors look innocent—until someone slips. Whether you’ve just mopped the floor or your kids are splashing around the pool, slippery surfaces can lead to painful and expensive injuries. Kitchens, bathrooms, pool decks, entryways—they all become hazardous when moisture hits the floor.
But here’s the good news: Tru-Clean Surface Care has a long-lasting solution that dramatically improves safety—slip-resistant tile floors. Our specialized treatment creates invisible traction on your tile or stone, reducing the risk of slipping when the surface is wet.
Shocking Slip-and-Fall Statistics
If you think slips and falls aren’t a big deal, these facts might change your mind:
- Over one million Americans suffer a serious slip, trip, or fall every year.
- Emergency rooms report slips and falls as the #1 reason for visits.
- The average cost of a slip and fall injury? Around $28,000.
- Slips and falls rank as the #2 cause of accidental deaths and disabilities.
- In North America, these accidents lead to 104 million lost workdays—that’s over 4,000 lifetimes lost each year.
- Annual costs from trip and fall injuries exceed $36 billion in the U.S.
- A slip and fall in the home can prove catastrophic to the elderly leading to serious complications, nursing home, or death.
- 55% of people over age 40 experience a serious slip or fall in their lifetime. For seniors, the outcomes can be life-altering, even fatal.
How Our Slip-Resistant Application for Tile Floors Work
At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we don’t use cheap coatings that wear away in months. Our slip-resistant floor treatment uses advanced microscopic technology to etch an invisible tread into the surface of your floor.
Here’s how it works:
- We thoroughly clean the hard surface safely using a truck-mount that produces steam at 245 degrees under 800lbs of rinsing action to remove dirt, oils, and other contaminates.
- We apply the treatment to any mineral-based surface—ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, even concrete.
- The formula creates microscopic grooves that increase friction on wet surfaces.
- In over 95% of the applications you won’t see or feel the difference, but your feet will notice the improved grip immediately. Some tiles, because of their nature, defect, or manufacturing process, may be lighter and/or darker in some areas, after the application. We will always perform a test spot before proceeding.
One treatment lasts a minimum of four years—indoors or out—and it doesn’t wear off like typical non-slip coatings. No odor, no residue, no allergens—just clean, safe flooring that keeps your family, guests, or employees protected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slip-Resistance Treatment

Q: What surfaces can be treated?
A: We treat ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile, concrete, and porcelain bathtubs. If you’re not sure about your flooring material, we’ll gladly evaluate it at no cost.
