There are products such as the Floor safe Add-a-Grip that has continuously been providing a guaranteed safe floor for about 20 years now.

Since not all floors are of the same type, carefully identifying its type is essential, so that the appropriate type of solution will be applied. You can also make your own homemade floor solution using vinegar diluted in two parts of water. Using a mop, apply it on the floor and leave until it has completely dried up. Repeat the procedure at least thrice a week when necessary, so that heavy grime build up will be removed as this contributes to the slippery condition of the floor. Try anti-slip adhesive floor tapes To reduce incidence of slipping, try applying safety tips that come in different colors as well as transparent to match your theme.
