First Maintenance:
- Only use dry cleaning methods in the first four weeks after the floor has been finished
Daily Maintenance
- Sweep or dust mop daily or after each function to remove dust, dirt, grit and other abrasive particles (micro fibre scissor mop)
- Wipe any spillages immediately
- Any scuff marks on the floor are to be removed ASAP (Loba Floorcare Cleaner should remove most scuff marks, any marks that are hard to remove use a mixture of one part Loba Polish removed and ten parts water, spray off scuff mark, leave ten minutes then wipe off with soft cloth)
- Normal cleaning, mix 10 – 20 mls Loba Cleaner with ten litres of water, apply manually or with a mono disc machine and white pad
- Heavy cleaning for highly soiled floors, mix 50mls Loba Cleaner with ten litres of water, apply to a small area of the floor, wait 2 – 3 minutes and then use a mono disc machine (Polivac or similar) with a white pad (red pad if required) immediately remove any waste water from the floor
Stain Removal:
Apply Loba Cleaner on the stained area, remove the stain mechanically using a red or white pad.
Glue, chewing gum etc:
Lightly scrape excess from the floor, apply Loba Polish remover to affected area, leave for ten minutes then remove mechanically with a red pad.
Other cleaning tips:
- Be sure to use mop and change water as needed
- Ensure that cleaning pads are checked and cleaned regularly to avoid any build up of residue
- Test pads on a small area to ensure they are not abrasive and will not scratch the floor
- Ensure any vacuum cleaners that may be used on your timber floor, have suitable soft suction heads
- Loba refresher may be used on floors that are showing early wear signs to recreate the floors natural look and provide short term protection until the next re-coat is applied
Re-coating:
- Re-coating will be required at given intervals depending on traffic flow (consult with your flooring contractor for advice on timing)
- Two coats are recommended for all re-coats, especially floors with line marking
