Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the correct method for cleaning and maintaining vinyl or linoleum flooring? - Tile and Grout Cleaning | Cleaning Vinyl Floors

• A: To clean vinyl or linoleum floors, it is advisable to sweep or vacuum using a solid floor attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt that cannot be removed through sweeping or vacuuming, a non-rinsing cleaner that does not leave behind any residue can be used along with a mop. It is important to avoid using abrasive cleaners, oil-based cleaners, or dish detergents, as these can potentially damage the flooring. By following these guidelines, you can effectively clean and maintain your vinyl or linoleum floors.

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does your service include repairs for vinyl and linoleum flooring?
• A: We do not provide repairs for damages such as cuts and scratches. However, we offer a comprehensive stripping, cleaning, and sealing process that can help restore your vinyl flooring. In some cases, our buffing and polishing techniques can minimize the appearance of small scratches. However, please note that deep scratches may still be visible even after the restoration process.
• Q: What are the purposes or benefits of resealing vinyl floors?
• A: Resealing vinyl floors is advised for multiple reasons. If your floors are aged, extensively scratched, or discolored, stripping away old sealers and applying a fresh, high-quality gloss finish can effectively restore their appearance. The process of resealing not only rejuvenates the look of the floors but also prolongs their lifespan. It diminishes the visibility of marks and scratches while establishing a protective barrier against dirt infiltration and abrasion. By opting for resealing, you can enhance the durability, enhance the visual appeal, and safeguard your vinyl or linoleum floors from future damage.
• Q: Can you remove a stain from my vinyl or linoleum floor?
• A: If the stain is new and has not fully set in, there is a high chance that we can remove it. However, it is important to note that proper maintenance, including regular stripping, cleaning, and sealing, is essential to prevent staining on your vinyl floor in the future.
• Q: What is the purpose or necessity of stripping vinyl or linoleum floors?
• A: Stripping vinyl or linoleum floors with the help of a professional is crucial to achieve the cleanest and most aesthetically pleasing results. By stripping the wax from the surface, any accumulated grime and dirt can be effectively removed. Once the previous wax is stripped off, the surface undergoes a professional cleaning process, followed by the application of a high-quality sealer. This comprehensive approach ensures that your vinyl or linoleum floors attain a fresh and immaculate appearance.
• Q: What is the recommended frequency for stripping and sealing my floor?
• A: Answering this question can be challenging because it relies on various factors such as frequency of use, contact with objects like trolleys, cleaning practices (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), and the cleaning products used. Some brooms may have abrasive bristles that can potentially damage the floor. Additionally, certain chemicals can erode the floor sealer, so it's crucial to use pH-neutral floor cleaners with proper dilution rates. Even a pH-neutral cleaner can become alkaline if not diluted correctly. The number of previous sealer coats, the quality of the sealer, and the correct sealing technique employed also play a role in determining floor durability.
