    Floor Cleaning and Subsequent Maintenance

    To ensure that your floor stays in the best of shape and gives you years of satisfaction the correct cleaning and maintenance
    schedule should be used. When first installed and fully cured your floor should be cleaned with the correct Remmers floor
    cleaner using the most suitable equipment for the area concerned - ask for a Remmers “Floor Care Kit”

    Initial Clean
    Before commencing the clean of your new floor you should sweep the area to remove any loose debris. An inspection of the
    area should then be undertaken to see if there are any areas that require individual treatment such as oil spillages or scuff
    marks from shoes or fork lift tyres. Application of Alkutex Oil & Grease Remover to these areas, either as supplied or diluted
    with water, then given some agitation and allowed to dwell for 5 to 10 minutes will help remove these. The floor area should then
    be cleaned using a mild alkaline cleaner such as Alkutex Hard Floor Cleaner or the heavier duty alkaline cleaner Alkutex
    Stripping Cleaner. The method and equipment suitable for the cleaning of the area will depend upon the area size and the
    manpower available. On site surveys can be carried out by our floor care partner Cleanfix UK Ltd. Their representatives have
    knowledge of the products we use coupled with the correct chemicals and machinery to clean and maintain your floor to the
    highest standards at all times.

    Pre-use Inspection & Precautions


    The floor should now be inspected to ensure that it has been cleaned to your required standard and that all soiling has been
    removed. If you will now be placing equipment, storage racking, goods, furniture, filing cabinets etc. on the floor, then every
    effort should be taken to minimise surface scratching and marking. Dragging of heavy articles across the floor may cause
    surface damage. Fork lift trucks should be driven with care to avoid marking caused by wheel spin or slide.

    Looking After Your Floor


    If the correct cleaning and maintenance schedule is used the appearance of your floor can be easily maintained. For Floors with
    a high gloss finish it is acceptable practice to lay a sacrificial layer of an acrylic polish, which will keep the high gloss finish, give
    a hard wearing surface, have the ability to allow for the removal of surface scratches or blemishes, whilst still incorporating anti-
    slip properties. Alkutex Seal & Shine is ideal for this application.

    Once applied, this seal should be maintained using Alkutex Hard Floor Cleaner, a product designed to clean your floor along
    with carrying properties to re-enhance and protect the finish. Once the above action or the decision to leave the floor as supplied
    has been taken, the floor will require regular cleaning with either a neutral or mildly alkaline floor cleaner, depending on the type
    and level of soiling encountered. – For this use Alkutex Hard Floor Cleaner.

    If you have decided to use a sacrificial surface polish on your floor then any visible wear can be overlaid with a fresh coat.
    However, if continual addition of coats is made then it may be necessary to occasionally remove the polish and start-a-fresh.
    This can be achieved by using a product such as Alkutex Stripping Cleaner. This will remove any existing polish without
    detrimental effect upon the flooring system.

    Spillages
    Spillages of any liquid should be wiped up or absorbed and removed as soon as possible. Not only is this responsible action as
    far as Health and Safety is concerned, it will also help you to keep your floor in good condition. Once the spillage is removed the
    area should be cleaned as usual with your standard floor cleaner. If a sacrificial coat has been previously applied the floor
    should be inspected to see if this remains. If not, it should be reapplied as soon as possible.

    Static Control Floors


    For all anti-static, ESD or conductive resin floors contact us for specific advice as normal polishes will inhibit performance!

    Remember
    a) Initial clean before use
    b) Take care when installing equipment
    c) Sacrificial polish if required
    d) Regular cleaning with the right product or equipment where necessary
    e) Clean up spillages
    Remembering the above should mean your floor will give you years of hard wear and will still look great. Further information and
    assistance on the cleaning and maintenance of your floor can be obtained from our after care specialist, Cleanfix Ltd.
