How to clean a polished thermoplastic floor
Answer (1)
Cleaning a polished thermoplastic floor requires care to maintain its shine and prevent damage. Here's a step-by-step guide: Daily Cleaning (Routine Maintenance):Sweep or vacuum:Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hard floor setting.Remove dust, dirt, and debris to prevent scratching.Damp mop:Use warm water with a neutral ph floor cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals.Wring the mop well to avoid leaving puddles—excess water can damage thermoplastic floors.Dry the floor:Allow the floor to air-dry or use a clean, dry mop to remove any remaining moisture.✨ Deep Cleaning (Weekly or Monthly):Use a floor scrubber or buffer (if available):Use it with a red or white non-abrasive pad and a neutral cleaner.Avoid aggressive pads or brushes that can scratch the polish.Rinse with clean water:Mop again with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.Dry thoroughly. Avoid These:Abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.Strong alkaline or acidic cleaners.Soaking the floor with water.Oil-based products (as they can make the floor slippery and damage the polish). Optional: Reapplying PolishIf the shine fades over time, consider:Stripping the old polish (only when necessary) using a suitable floor stripper.Applying new polish or floor finish in thin, even coats.Allow each coat to dry completely before adding another (usually 2–3 coats total).
