Karndean flooring is designed to be hard-wearing and easy to maintain. Although this stands true, in order to keep your floor looking it’s best, it is important to give it some TLC every now and again. We’ve put together a list of top tips which should help when it comes to keeping your Karndean floor clean and mark free!
- Keep on top of it
Regularly cleaning your Karndean flooring is the best way to maintain its look and feel. Things like sweeping with a soft brush once a week to remove dust and grit from the floor is a great way to get dirt up easily without scratching the floor. Doing this before mopping will make for easy cleaning further down the line.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals
When it comes to giving your Karndean flooring a deep clean, refrain from using harsh chemicals as this will strip the floor of it’s finish, dulling the shine and can even remove it’s waterproof qualities. The best thing to use is Karndean Clean, Karndean’s own cleaning solution mixed with water. This will keep your floors nice and clean, without any accidental damage occurring, win-win!
- Refresh at least once per year
Cleaning your Karndean flooring regularly will keep it up to a certain standard, but even with weekly maintenance, scuffs and stains will build up, making your flooring look dull and worn. We suggest that, once a year, you use Karndean Remove to get rid of any long-lasting marks or scuffs. Simply rub this cleaner into the parts of the flooring that get the most wear, and then wipe up with a mop or damp cloth after about 5 minutes. To get back that satin finish on your floor, follow this with Karndean Refresh. This restores shine to your floor, as well as helping to protect against any future scuffs or stains.
- Wipe up spillages immediately
Although Karndean is waterproof, its best to not let water sit on it for too long, as it can cause discolouration of the tiles, so make sure you mop up any water sitting on the surface as quickly as possible, so as to keep your Karndean in tip-top condition!
- Prevention, prevention, prevention!
Prevention is the best way to keep your Karndean floor looking it’s very best. We advise you use protector pads underneath heavy furniture to avoid scratching the tiles, as well as door mats at any entrances to get the worst of the dirt off at the door.
