1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Well planned and regular maintenance, tailored to traffic
conditions and frequencies, will help keep the floorcovering
in pristine condition. Without regular maintenance, standards
of appearance, hygiene and cleanliness, as well as the life
expectancy of the floorcovering, will be compromised.
EXPONA incorporates a polyurethane (PU) surface treatment,
which protects the floorcoverings by resisting soiling. This
protection facilitates the maintenance and provides the
foundation for the ongoing maintenance regime.
2. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
In the initial stages of construction planning, attention should
be paid to minimising the amount of dirt and water that can
enter the building. To facilitate this we strongly recommend the
installation of passive dirt barrier systems in all entrance areas
e.g. scraper and moisture mats. The mats should be positioned
to ensure that access cannot be gained without walking on
them, ideally they should be at least four to six paces wide.
3. INITIAL CONSTRUCTION CLEAN
After laying, a final construction cleaning is to be carried out. All
contamination and residue caused by production is completely
removed here with a neutral or PU cleaner. The surface can be
polished if desired with a single-disc machine (at least 400–600
rpm.) through using a white polishing pad, or in the case of
strongly structured surfaces, by means of soft brush.
4. APPLICATION OF A FLOORDRESSING
The initial treatment is not necessary in the case of floor
coverings with a PU layer.
The factory PU surface coating makes a simple, advantageous
and economic cleaning possible.
5. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Daily
Mop sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dust and loose dirt.
Stubborn marks should be removed using a neutral or a PU
cleanser. If required, dry buff with a single-disc machine and
a white pad.
Damp mop
Thanks to a 2-step mopping system with double wheeled
bucket, good cleaning results are obtained.
Spray Cleaning / Burnishing
Burnish the floor by using a rotary machine (at least 400–600
rpm) and clean the floor by additionally using a spray cleaning
product. This will add further protection and it will improve the
appearance of the floorcovering. Use a clean soft white pad.
6. PERIODICALLY
It may become necessary to remove stubborn marks from time
to time by using a neutral or a PU detergent according to the
manufacturers’ instructions.
7. REMOVAL OF POLISH
From time to time it will be necessary to strip back the polish
layers, e.g. when routine maintenance does no longer bring
about a satisfactory result. The interval is very much dependant
on traffic conditions and maintenance methods. All soiling and
any unsightly build up of polish should be removed by initially
applying an emulsion polish stripper. The floor should then
be scrubbed using a mono-pad rotary machine (green pad)
or a scrubber and the slurry should be removed completely.
Neutralise the floor with clean water. Then re-apply a floor
dressing (polish of the polymer dispersion type or of the PU
sealing type).
Please heed the recommendations of the cleaning agent
manufacturer
IMPORTANT NOTES
For hairdresser salons, car dealers
Substances with a colouring or bleaching effect must be
removed immediately from the covering, in order to avoid
any lasting impairment to the appearance. In these areas
an additional coating with a mark-resistant 2-component PU
sealing product is absolutely necessary even in the case of
coverings which already have a PU layer.
For the health service
In areas where palm and skin disinfectants are used, we
recommend an additional treatment with suitable polymer
dispersion or PU sealing product before the first use.
For strongly frequented areas and surfaces
In areas which are expected to be highly frequented, e.g.
shops, entrances, receptions etc., we recommend applying a
suitable PU sealing product before first use.
General information
When using wheeled chairs, double swivel rollers are to be
used (soft type). The contact areas of mobile furniture should
be equipped with suitable felt or soft plastic bearings.
When selecting cleaning and maintenance products and the
mechanics used, ensure that these are adapted to one another
and consider the manufacturer’s notes.
