RECYCLED RUBBER FLOORING
3. DAILY MAINTENANCE
Ensure that initial maintenance has been conducted
prior to conducting daily maintenance. Sweep or use
dust mop and vacuum flooring to remove any dirt, dust
or debris. Do not use vacuums that have a beater bar or
electric brooms with hard plastic bottoms or no padding,
as this may cause discoloration, scratching and loss of
sheen.
Mix 2-4 ounces of Excelsior NC-900 per gallon of clean,
potable water. Use a clean mop to clean spills, dirt
buildup and other debris.
Allow floor to dry before allowing foot traffic.
4. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Ensure that initial maintenance has been conducted
prior to conducting routine maintenance. Sweep or use
dust mop and vacuum flooring to remove any dirt, dust
or debris.
Mix 4-6 ounces of Excelsior CM-910 per gallon of clean,
potable water. Use a clean mop or pump-up sprayer to
apply cleaning solution to the area and let stand for 5-10
minutes.
If using a low-speed rotary floor machine (175 – 350
RPM), scrub the floor while wet using a a Mal-Grit Scrub
Brush from Malish or equivalent 22 gauge soft bristled
scrubbing brush or a 3M 5100 Red Cleaning Pad.
Brushes will work better for textured surfaces.
If using an auto-scrubber, scrub floor while wet using a
Mal-Grit Scrub Brush from Malish or equivalent 22
gauge soft bristled scrubbing brush or a 3M 5100 Red
Cleaning Pad. If flooring is heavily soiled, allow cleaner
to remain on surface for an additional 5-10 minutes
before scrubbing and removing.
Use an auto-scrubber, wet vacuum or clean mop to
remove any and all excess cleaning solution. Rinse area
with clean, cool water and allow floor to dry entirely.
Ensure flooring area is clean and that all cleaning
residue has been removed (this may require additional
rinsing).
5. FLOORING PROTECTION
Protect newly installed flooring with construction grade
paper or protective boards, such as Masonite or Ram
Board, to protect flooring from damage by other trades.
Do not slide or drag pallets or heavy equipment across
the new flooring. Limit usage and foot traffic according to
the adhesive's requirements. When moving appliances
or heavy furniture, protect flooring from scuffing and
tearing using temporary floor protection.
All furniture casters must be made of a soft material and
must have a contact point of at least 1" in width to limit
indentation and flooring damage. All rolling chairs or
seating must have a resilient flooring chair pad installed
over the finished floor to protect floor covering.
All fixed furniture legs must have permanent felt or soft
rubber floor protectors installed on all contact points and
to reduce indentation. Floor protectors must have a flat
contact point of at least 1 sq. in. or 1 in. diameter and
must cover the entire bottom surface of the furniture leg.
Ensure all furniture castors and chair legs and are clean
and free of any and all dirt and debris. Routinely clean
chair castors and furniture legs to ensure that dirt or
debris has not built up or become embedded in castors
or floor protectors. Replace chair castors and floor
protectors at regular intervals, especially if they become
damaged or heavily soiled.
Place walk-off mats at outside entrances. Ensure mats
are manufactured with non-staining backs to prevent
discoloration.
