Maintenance Instructions

1. Precautions

Remove all metal objects before conducting maintenance

and use caution tape and/or “Wet Floor” signs to prohibit

foot trac until the oor is dry. Do not use hydrocarbons,

harsh disinfectants, cleaning agents, dyes, acetone or

other harsh chemicals – ensure all chemicals and materials

that may come in contact with ooring surface will not

stain, mar or otherwise damage the surface. Do not use

abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the ooring.

The application of a oor-nish is not usually recommended

and will change the maintenance protocol. Allow area to dry

completely before allowing foot trac.

2. Residential

Dust-mop or vacuum the oor to remove any dirt or

debris. Damp-mop the oor as often as required using a

at microber mop or a spray mop. Use a pH neutral, lm-

free and streak-free cleaner concentrate, available at home

improvement stores, and make sure to change the pad as

often as necessary. Steam cleaners with a micro-ber head

may also be used, providing the steaming head is never

stationary, as prolonged, excessive heat can damage any

vinyl oor covering.

3. Commercial

Dust-mop or vacuum the oor to remove any dirt or debris.

Mix a pH neutral, lm-free and streak-free cleaner with

clean, cool potable water and damp-mop or spot clean the

oor as often as necessary. Avoid wet mopping, puddling

or pooling cleaning liquid on the surface.

If ooring is heavily soiled or contaminated with gypsum

dust, an auto-scrubber or rotary machine (185 rpm or

less) with pads or brushes that are similar in grit to 3M

5100 Red Cleaning pads or a dual-bucket mop system

must be used to remove dirt and contaminants from the

surface. Mix a pH neutral, lm-free and streak-free cleaner

with clean, cool potable water at the appropriate dilution

level and, apply to the surface using a new or thoroughly

cleaned mop, except when using an auto-scrubber. When

using a rotary machine, ensure the surface stays wet while

scrubbing to prevent marring or dulling. When using a

dual-bucket system, allow the cleaning solution to dwell for

5-10 minutes before removing. Use a wet vacuum or clean

mop to remove the cleaning slurry, then rinse with clean,

cool water and use a wet vacuum or clean mop to remove

any remaining liquid. Ensure that all cleaning residues

haves been removed (this may require additional rinsing).
