Maintenance Guides

Regular and well planned maintenance keeps the floorcovering in pristine condition and can enhance the original appearance. Maintenance can also reduce wear and ultimately improve the life expectancy of the floorcovering.

Maintenance means many things to many people.

To some, it is an army of cleaning staff using modern powered machines working to a comprehensive maintenance programme. To others, it is someone who comes in three evenings a week to dust and mop the floors.

In each case, the requirement for cleanliness and gloss can be completely different. It is this variability in what is considered 'normal' that makes it impracticable for Polyflor in its manuals to give precise maintenance instructions to suit specific end user locations. The instructions given are intended to be used as a guide. They are based on general experience using established methods and cleaning materials.

Polyflor recommends that the instructions are followed initially and, as traffic patterns become established, the frequency is tailored to suit. In other words we understand technically how are floors are designed to operate and be maintained however in practice each use area will be different plus each end users expectations will vary.
