Vinyl Floor Cleaning and Sealing

[separator top=”-55″ bottom=”10″ style=””]

Floor surfaces can be covered in a number of different materials and one very popular one is vinyl. It is a very hard wearing floor covering, but needs some TLC now and then.

Vinyl can be cleaned with just mopping for every day cleaning. But over time it will become heavily stained through the main walkway areas, and this will need a heavy duty clean.

Orbital Scrubber for a Deeper Clean

Most commercial buildings will have vinyl floors or a mixture of carpets, tiles and vinyl. Cleaning vinyl effectively will require the aid of an orbital scrubber. These machines spin at 400 rpm and give the flooring a very deep clean and at the same time will polish the floor surface.

Most vinyls can be cleaned using the floor scrubber. But if they have deep scratches in them, then they will require a strip and seal. This is done by using a heavy duty cleaning solution and a rough pad on the floor scrubber. This action will cut back the old clear coat and take out most of the deep scratches.

Drying and Resealing

Once the scratches have been removed, the floor is then dried using air movers, then the new sealer is applied. The coating will need between 3-4 coats to ensure a good durable finish that will last for years and give a deep shine again to the floor surface.

All floors need to have a professional clean to help keep them in good condition and free from bacteria. Hiring the services of Best 1 Cleaning will ensure your floors, whether they are carpets, tiles or vinyl, are cleaned to a high standard and will last for many years.

Solvent-Free Cleaning Solution

Vinyl can come in big sheets or tiles. If tiles are used, they need to be cleaned by using a solution with no solvents in them. Solvents can over time start to break down the glue that is used to hold the tiles down with. This will make the tiles start to lift. However, this can be a safety hazard, as people may  trip on the edges. This is where using a professional vinyl floor cleaning company will benefit you in the long run. Once the tiles have started to lift, they will, in most cases, have to be replaced. This can be a very costly exercise.

When vacating a commercial premise, it’s important to use a professional cleaning contractor that can clean all of your concrete, vinyl, tile and carpeted floors to ensure the bond is returned in full. Quality work is not the only thing you need to consider when moving out of a commercial property. The other important aspect is “time.” If a lease runs over on a commercial premise, it can cost thousands of dollars. So choosing a company that can get the job done on time is also very important.
