Cleaning Tips,
The care of your floor is
not just an annual event. Your floor is an investment, which
requires daily maintenance and regular care to retain its value and
appearance
Keeping it clean helps to maintain the appearance and health of the floor. Keep the outside entrance areas (sidewalks, porches, driveways) free of sand and debris. Use walk off mats (avoid rubber mats) and entry rugs both inside and outside to catch most of the soiling. The mass majority of the soil and grit that will fall into the room will do so in the first six feet of the entrances. Keep these mats clean to avoid tracking.
Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT)
Sweep or dust mop your V.C.T. once per day. Sand and grit will scratch and dull the finish. If left without finish, the floor will be permanently damaged See VCT tip sheet
Do not ever let the finish wear completely through in any area. Apply a refresher coat as necessary to the high traffic areas.
Occasionally, spray buff or perform high-speed burnishing with a polishing machine and the appropriate pad (or, brush) to restore luster, dislodge soiling and smooth out blemishes in the original finish coat. (Minimum Monthly)
Clean, strip and polish the entire floor once every 3 to 6 months. You should strongly consider using a professional company like Corinthian Clean to strip and polish the floor if you're not trained in this area.
