How to clean vinyl floors - Part 1

Keeping vinyl floors clean and shiny is not as hard as you think. This type of flooring is often found in hospitals, offices, shops and homes. These floors can handle a great deal of liquid being spilt on them and general wear and tear without getting damaged. They make the ideal type of flooring for many spaces.

If liquid polymer polish has been used it will be necessary to use a stripper as the floor will not look its best with the build-up that will result. An ideal cleaning product to use is Blendwell Chemicals Stripper. This cleaning product will not be able to strip a hard wax polish but works brilliantly with a liquid polymer polish.

Depending on the area to be cleaned you may wish to use Blendwell Chemicals Stripper NA. This cleaning product does not contain ammonia which makes it ideal for use in hospitals where a smell of ammonia cannot be tolerated.  

To mix up a 10 litre solution of cleaning product, take 500ml (half a litre) and put it in an empty bucket. Then fill up the bucket to make it 10 litres in total. Using a mop, cover the floor with this solution. Leave for 10 minutes to allow the cleaning product to react. Then take a soft broom or a mop and rub the floor. It will be necessary to rinse the floor with water after using this cleaning product. Please make sure that this process is done when floors have been cordoned off and people will not accidently slip on the wet floor. Please ensure that safety eyewear, gloves and shoes are worn when using this cleaning product.
