To do this, follow the instructions on the bottle of Marmoleum Floor Cleaner. If the soiling is severe, the old finish may have to be removed. After cleaning, allow to dry completely before reapplying the Marmoleum Floor Finish.

SOS, Scotch-Brite) or nylon brush is ideal. What if my floor is really dirty with ingrained dirt? AnswerĪdhered dirt will have to be removed with friction. The need to apply Finish will vary dramatically according to circumstances, from perhaps every couple of months to annually. After several such applications, you may wish to apply one or more additional thin coats of Marmoleum Floor Finish to restore the sheen level.ĭo not over apply finish to areas (such as along wall base) which are not walked on as this just causes unnecessary build-up of polish.
If soiling is tenacious use Marmoleum Floor Cleaner as previously instructed. If the floor is muddy it can be cleaned with a damp mop, making sure the dirt is rinsed out of the mop and not spread back on the floor. Sweeping/dust mopping or vacuuming is likely to be the most frequent procedure. This will depend on how much use it gets and whether dirt has been trafficked in from outside. How often should I clean my floor? Answer If you prefer a higher gloss level apply a third thin coat. ALLOW THE POLISH TO DRY BETWEEN COATS (usually between 30-40 minutes). Make sure you do not apply polish to wall base, carpets, furniture etc.
#MARMOLEUM TILES FREE#

#MARMOLEUM TILES PROFESSIONAL#
QuestionĪll Marmoleum products come with Topshield2 which is a high-grade professional finish that is durable and long lasting. This gives the adhesive time to "cure" and become more resistant to moisture and indentation. If you wish, sweep or dry vacuum the floor but wait at least 2-3 days after installation before damp mopping or moving heavy furniture. What do I need to do after my Marmoleum Sheet or Tile are installed? Answer These types of cleaners should always be avoided. Like the environment, Marmoleum does NOT respond well to the use of high pH, aggressive chemical cleaning agents traditionally associated with vinyl floor coverings. However, any pH neutral cleaner will work well in its properly diluted solution. We recommend the use of our environmentally responsible cleaner and finish to ensure proper care of your Marmoleum. A bit of attention to the proper cleaning and care procedures starting right after installation will make the maintenance of your Marmoleum floor simple and enable it to look beautiful for decades. Flooring takes more punishment and requires more diligent cleaning than any other finished surface in a home.
