Cleaning Tips, Products and Links
The care of
your floor is not just an annual event. Your floor is an investment,
which requires daily maintenance and regular care to retain its value and
appearance
Keeping it clean helps to maintain the appearance and
health of the floor. Keep the outside entrance areas (sidewalks, porches,
driveways) free of sand and debris. Use walk off mats (avoid rubber mats)
and entry rugs both inside and outside to catch most of the soiling. The
mass majority of the soil and grit that will fall into the room will do
so in the first six feet of the entrances. Keep these mats clean to avoid
tracking.
Vinyl Composite
Tile (VCT)
Sweep or dust mop your V.C.T. once per day.
Sand and grit will scratch and dull the finish. If left without finish,
the floor will be permanently damaged See VCT tip sheet
Do not ever let the finish wear completely through
in any area. Apply a refresher coat as necessary to the high traffic
areas.
Occasionally, spray buff or perform high-speed
burnishing with a polishing machine and the appropriate pad (or,
brush) to restore luster, dislodge soiling and smooth out blemishes in
the original finish coat. (Minimum Monthly)
Clean, strip and polish the entire floor once
every 3 to 6 months. You should strongly consider using a
professional company like Muddy Flint Trades to strip and polish the
floor if you're not trained in this area.
