Care & Maintenance

Excessive use of liquid products must be avoided
The use of water can provoke swelling, oxidizing or destruction of the components of the panels.
Cleaning products can damage the adhesives on the edges and corners. Even a little quantity of product can laminate the covering.

Cleaning vinyl coverings having electrostatic properties.
Please find hereunder some advice for:

  • Preserving electrostatic properties of your covering.
  • Ensuring stability of bondings.
  • Avoiding the penetration of water inside the woodcore panel (when the panel is made of chipboard).

You must absolutely avoid to:

  • Swill the raised floors.
  • Flood or just cover the covering with water or cleaning products.
  • Use a saturated mop.
  • Leave the covering wet after cleaning.
  • Use oil based products (except aliphatic oils) to clean or wax the raised floor.
  • Bring dirty or grubby items in the room covered with vinyl.
  • Use steel wool.
  • Wear bradded shoes.

What you have to do:

  • For daily maintenance of your floor, use a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
  • If cleaning is necessary use a thoroughly dried cloth with some detergent or soap. Dry the floor immediately afterwards.
  • If you want to wax the floor, don't do it frequently and apply small amounts of water wax on a clean and dry covering. Avoid the use of oil wax (except aliphatic oils).
  • Use either soft abrasive products or steel wool with soapy water for cleaning-resistant stains.
  • Put door mats at every threshold.
  • Avoid abrasive materials in adjacent rooms (concrete floor, iron filllings and so on).

Cleaning dissipative and conductive PVC coverings.

You must absolutely avoid to:

  • Swill the raised floors.
  • Flood or just cover the covering with water or cleaning products.
  • Use a saturated mop.
  • Leave the covering wet after cleaning.
  • Use organic solvent based products (except aliphatic oils) to clean or preserve the access floor.
  • Bring dirty or grubby items in the room covered with vinyl.
  • Use steel wool.
  • Wear bradded shoes.

What you have to do:

  • For daily maintenance of your floor, use a damp cloth, a vacuum cleaner or a damp gauze.
  • If cleaning is necessary:
    - Use a thoroughly dried cloth with some detergent or soap.
    - Use a brushing machine, sparying a small quantity of antistatic cleaning
      product.
  • If pickling is necessary use a brushing achine and spray some detergents or pickling agents approved by the manufacturer of the covering.
  • After pickling, apply an antistatic emulsion by way of sheepskin mop or a similar material, for protection.
  • Use either soft abrasive products or steel wool with soapy water for cleaning detergent-resistant stains.
  • Put door mats at every threshold.
  • Avoid abrasive materials in adjacent rooms (concrete floor, sand,iron filllings and so on).
 

Cleaning high pressure laminate coverings.

Please find hereunder some advice for:

  • Preserving the antistatic properties of your covering.
  • Keeping it perfectly clean.
  • Use a saturated mop.
  • Preventing it from becoming slippery.
  • Preserving its resistance to scratches.
  • Ensuring the stability of bondings.
  • Avoiding the penetration of water inside the woodcore panel (when the panel is made of chipboard).

You must absolutely avoid to:

  • Wax or polish - antistatic properties would be affected.
  • Use steel wool.
  • Use nylon or abrasive pads, by hand or on a machine.
  • Use a saturated mop.
  • Flood or just cover the covering with water or cleaning products. An infiltration of the product can damage the bondong and provoke laminations.
  • Leave the covering wet after cleaning.
  • Bring dirty or grubby items in the room covered with high pressure laminate covering.
  • Wear bradded shoes.

What you have to do:

  • Sweep once a week with a dryfringed broom or nomal broom; a vacuum-cleaner is still better.
  • If necessary, use a slightly wet fringed broom or a washing leather with soft detergent. Dry immediately afterwards.
  • Do not scrub before having removed abrasive dusts.
  • Put door mats at every threshold.
  • Avoid abrasive materials in adjacent rooms (concrete floor, sand,iron filllings and so on).

Removing stains:
Just treat the stained location, the product must not leak through the panel joints.
After the removal of stains, always wipe up the surface of the with dry cotton tissue.
