Daily Care of Vinyl (VCT) Floor
1:Dust mop the floor.
Note: Try new ideas- Micro Dust mop system. It picks up
the dust like magnet.
2:Using Auto Scrubber-
Fill the water tank and dilute with neutral cleaner according
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Use either white pad or red pad for daily cleaning.
Do not use green, blue or black pads- these pads
will remove finish from the floor.
3:Using Mop heads, buckets and wringers.
Fill the water into the mop bucket 3 quarters full.
Dilute neutral cleaner into the water according to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Damp mop (not soaking wet, but just lightly wet) the floor.
4:Burnishing can be done with either electric burnisher or propane burnisher.
Note: How often?
It is all depends, what customer requests.
If you want to have an exquisite shine, then must be
burnished every night.
When burnishing with high speed burnisher (over 1500
RPM), you can try different types of pads that are
available. Plain white pads to Grizzly Bear, Natural,
Pink, Coconut and many others.
Depending on the finish on the floor, some of the
harsher burnishing pads work well but will take off
the finish faster than regular white, or blue ice, etc.
So, try different pads and see which one works the
best on your floor.
Note: You have the option to use Spray And Buffing solution
for burnishing.
If you use it, it will give you more shine.
Note: To get more shine on the floor and to protect the finish
(a little), try the product called Top Guard.
Important note: When daily mopping or auto scrubbing,
the solution that you should use must be a neutral
cleaner (PH 5-7). If not, it will take off the finish fast.
