10. INITIAL MAINTENANCE
Ensure that adhesive has cured for
recommended period of time prior to
conducting initial maintenance. Remove
any protective coverings prior to cleaning.
Sweep, dust mop and/or vacuum stair
tread to remove any dirt, dust or debris.
Mix 2-4 ounces of Excelsior All Purpose
Cleaner per gallon of clean, potable water.
Use a clean mop to apply cleaning solution
to floor and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
Use a 22 gauge soft bristled deck brush to
scrub stair treads in order to remove dirt,
debris and any remaining mold release
chemicals. If stair tread is heavily soiled,
additional cleaning may be required.
Use a 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.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners
or “mop and shine” type products, as they
will dull the finish and sheen of the stair
tread material. 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.
Installation areas that will be difficult
to maintain or will not receive routine
maintenance with a scrub brush, such
as residential applications, must have a
compatible floor finish installed, such as
the Excelsior MF-940 or GF-950, in order
to ease maintenance of the floor covering.
For further information regarding daily
or routine maintenance, please consult
the product care & maintenance
document or the associated product
technical data sheet.
11. FLOORING PROTECTION
Protect newly installed stair treads, risers
and stringers with construction grade
paper, such as Ram Board, to protect
material from damage by other trades. Do
not slide or drag heavy equipment across
the new stair treads. Limit usage and
foot traffic according to the adhesive's
requirements. When moving appliances
or heavy furniture, protect stair treads
from scuffing and tearing using temporary
floor protection.
Ensure all castors that may come in
contact with stair treads are clean
and free of any and all dirt and debris.
Routinely clean castors to ensure that
dirt or debris has not built up or become
embedded in castors. Replace castors
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.
