1) Details needing attention when using vinyl flooring

After the installation of the vinyl floor is completed, it can be used directly and normally. In addition to the necessary maintenance, some small details in work and daily life are also essential to pay attention to.

It is forbidden to scratch the ground, sharp objects and blades during use.

Although the sheet vinyl flooring has certain corrosion resistance, it should be removed in time when corrosive chemicals or drugs splash on the floor to avoid deeper corrosion to the floor;

Oil stains and other dirt scattered on the ground shall be removed in time. The increase of dirt will reduce the ground friction and easily cause injury

Although vinyl flooring is fireproof and flame retardant at grade B1, it is still necessary to avoid cigarette butts burning the floor surface coating to prevent deeper damage to the floor.

2) Purpose of cleaning and maintenance

Improve appearance: timely remove the dirt generated in daily use, so that the elastic floor can fully show its extraordinary appearance and natural gloss.

Protect the floor: protect the elastic floor from accidental chemicals, cigarette butts, shoe prints, oil and water, minimize the mechanical wear of the surface, give full play to the durability of the floor itself, and prolong the service life of the floor.

Convenient care: due to the tight surface structure and special treatment of the elastic floor, pay attention to daily cleaning and maintenance, which can make the floor easier to care and prolong the service life.

3) Cleaning & Maintenance notes:

All kinds of dirt on the ground shall be removed in time.

It is absolutely forbidden to immerse the floor in open water. Although some floors use waterproof glue to cut off the water source (such as floor drain, water room, etc.), soaking in water for a long time will seriously affect the service life of the floor. In the cleaning process, the sewage shall be sucked dry with a water suction machine in time.

For places with large flow of people and large wear, shorten the maintenance cycle and increase the waxing times of high-strength surface wax.

It is absolutely forbidden to use hard and rough cleaning tools (such as steel ball, cleaning cloth, etc.) to prevent sharp objects from colliding with the elastic floor.

It is strongly recommended to place rubbing mats at the entrance of public places with high pedestrian flow to prevent dirt, sand and other particles from contaminating and scratching the ground materials.
