Common when cleaning Karndean flooring
Cleaning Karndean flooring is important to maintain its sheen and keep it clear of marks; it will need occasional professional care. Look out for some of these common issues. If you notice any, then contact us today and ask about our Karndean floor cleaning service.
It’s impossible to completely prevent dust and dirt around the home, even with regular sweeping. Unfortunately, if you’re cleaning Karndean flooring yourself, dust particles can eventually scratch it if they become trapped underfoot or under the legs of furniture, particularly where furniture has been dragged across the floor. Certain types of shoe soles can leave dark marks, too, so look out for these.
Karndean will resist stains from most types of spillage, but we have seen dark marks from solvents and red wine when conducting our Karndean cleaning service in Lancashire. The worst other spillages will do is leave behind white spots on the surface of the planks. Bathrooms can be particularly troublesome for this.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean Karndean flooring as these can permanently damage the surface. Be careful with vacuum cleaners, too, since some models can leave behind scratches and marks. If you are at all unsure, then reach out to one of the team at Tile & Stone Medic Lancashire for some friendly advice.
Our Karndean floor cleaning process
Our Karndean floor cleaning and restoration service in Lancashire begins by getting rid of all dust and debris. If any is left behind, it will stop us getting the best results from our cleaning. Once the floor is clear, we can set about removing black scuff marks, white spots and furniture scratches from the Karndean. Specialist solutions are used and gently worked into the affected areas to get rid of these pesky imperfections.
Once the floor is ready, we apply a specially PH-balanced solution to deep clean the Karndean. The solution is diluted to the right consistency, then thoroughly applied to the whole floor. Once the floor has dried, it’s ready to use. Just ensure it isn’t washed again for at least 24 hours.
Where Karndean has experienced more serious wear and has lost its sheen, we provide a strip and refresh treatment to return it to its best. After the floor has been washed, we apply a stripping solution and allow it to dwell on the Karndean for a short time. A carefully matched refresher is then worked into the floor, and the result is the restoration of the wonderful sheen that Karndean offers. The chemicals are hand-picked to work in harmony to achieve this and are perfectly safe for use in the home. We would recommend this service once a year for the best results.
