GENERAL

​

Maintaining your EPI floor system properly and regularly will result in a permanently beautiful, high-quality and safe floor. Factors determining the amount of cleaning and maintenance are colour and design, but also the floor’s load. As our design floors are not porous, they do not let through moisture and are easy to clean.

 

For example in the Netherlands Smart Floor Solutions sells high-quality cleaning products and machines we used as an example in this maintenance advice.
 

Maintenance consists of four parts:

• Preventive measures to protect the floor

• Daily maintenance

• Weekly maintenance

• Periodic maintenance

​

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ROUTINE CARE & CLEANING 

​

​​​​Daily

• Depending on how dirty the floor becomes it is advisable to maintain the floor daily. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush and suction nozzle and replace the dust bag regularly. Avoid oil-impregnated dusting cloths for wiping the floor. Check for stains and remove there with a damp moist microfibre cloth. 

 

Weekly

• Dust mopping/vacuuming does not remove all dirt. It is necessary to wet clean the floor at least once a week after vacuuming it. You can do this by hand or mechanically, depending on the surface and the amount of dirt.

• Please refrain from using abrasives, as these may cause scratches; also, agents containing chlorine may leave stains on self-levelling floors. Products containing soap and polymers are also unsuitable, as they leave behind a film, which affects cleaning in due course. In a nutshell: you should clean your floor regularly in the prescribed way and use cleaning products that are suitable for your floor. Smart Floor Solutions sells high-quality cleaning products and handy scrubber driers. You can order products via http://www.smartfloorsolutions.nl

 

Mopping

• Use a microfibre flat mop system with 2 buckets, one for dirty water and one for moping water.

• Always use a clean mop.

• Add for example Smart Floor Solutions Cleaner MP50 to the mopping water (ratio 1:1 to 1:50).

PERIODIC MAINTENACE 

Your EPI floor is finished with an EPI topcoat. This makes the floor easy to maintain. Depending on how the floor is used and the related degree of soiling the floor needs a thorough clean once or twice a year. This will remove persistent dirt affecting the floor’s appearance. Use Smart Floor Solutions SP50 (ratio 1:1 to 1:50).

Method

• Preferably use a scrubber dryer or a Doodle Bug with a red pad

• Add Smart Floor Solutions SP50 to clean water in the scrubber dryer (ratio 1:1 to 1:50)

• Scrub the floor (do not vacuum) with the scrubber drier, with a brush holder or a pad holder with a red pad and let it work for approximately 10 minutes. Do not let it dry!

• Scrub the borders along the walls with a Doodle-Bug with a red pad

• Then scrub and vacuum the floor again with the scrubber dryer
