Step FLOOR CARE

The Forbo Surestep slip resistant vinyl collections are easy to clean and maintain, thanks to their highly durable PUR pearl and PUR coated surfaces.

Cleaning after installation

Remove all debris, dirt and dust off the floor and clean the floor with a neutral floor cleaner. For larger areas a scrubber dryer or a rotary machine with a suitable cleaning pad may be used. Pick up dirty water with a wiper and mop or wet vacuum, rinse with clean water and allow floor to dry.

Regular cleaning

  • Wipe with a dust mop and dust cloth, or vacuum the floor.
  • Remove spots with a damp mop.
  • Spray clean with a rotary machine and a buffing pad, use spray where necessary.

Occasional maintenance

  • Scrub with cleaner, a rotary machine and a scrub pad.
  • Pick up dirty water with a wiper and mop or a water vacuum.
  • Rinse with clean water and a mop.
  • Allow the floor to dry.

Cleaning after installation

Remove all debris, dirt and dust off the floor. Vacuum clean and/or sweep the floor thoroughly then scrub with a neutral detergent. For larger areas a scrubber drier or rotary machine with a suitable brush or a cylindrical brush machine e.g. Rotowash/Multiwash, will be most effective. Pick up dirty water with wiper and mop or wet vacuum, rinse and allow floor to dry.

Regular cleaning

  • Vacuum or sweep the floor to remove loose dirt and dust.
  • Manual Cleaning – Scrub with a neutral detergent (pH 7-8) and a scrubbing brush. Remove dirty water with a wiper and mop.
  • Machine Cleaning - A combined scrubber drier or rotary machine with a suitable brush or a cylindrical brush machine e.g. Rotowash/Multiwash, will produce best results on larger areas. If the floor is heavily soiled, a stronger detergent with a pH of around 10 can be used. Rinse well afterwards with clean water.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the floor periodically using the manual or machine methods above. Clean heavily soiled areas with a concentrated cleaning solution, which should be allowed to soak on the floor for a few minutes before scrubbing. Rinse well with clean water afterwards. High pressure cleaning is an alternative method to scrubbing provided the excess water can be dealt with.

N.B. Do not use seals or polishes on Step Ranges as the slip resistant properties could be reduced.
