At GJP Flooring Solutions, we understand that your Amtico flooring is a significant investment, providing both beauty and functionality to your space. We’ve compiled a comprehensive guide filled with essential maintenance tips to help you maintain its pristine condition and ensure its longevity. By following these steps, you can keep your Amtico flooring looking as stunning as the day it was installed.
Regular Cleaning
Sweep Daily The first step in maintaining your Amtico flooring is to sweep it daily. Use a soft broom or a microfiber dust mop to remove dust and debris. This simple routine prevents dirt from accumulating and scratching the surface of your flooring.
Vacuum Weekly For a deeper clean, vacuum your Amtico flooring weekly. Ensure you use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar to avoid any potential damage. This will help pick up fine dust and dirt that sweeping might miss, keeping your floor immaculate.
Damp Mopping
Use Appropriate Cleaners When mopping your Amtico floor, choosing the right cleaner is crucial. Opt for a pH-neutral cleaner designed for luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). We highly recommend Amtico’s own brand of floor cleaners for the best results. This ensures that your floor is clean and free from harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Avoid Excess Water It’s essential to damp mop your floor using a well-wrung mop. Excess water can seep into the seams and potentially damage the adhesive, leading to long-term issues. A damp mop with the right cleaner will suffice to keep your floor spotless.
Stain Removal
Immediate Action Accidents happen, and when they do, it’s important to act quickly. Clean spills immediately using a soft cloth or sponge and a gentle cleaner. Prompt action prevents stains from setting and keeps your floor looking its best.
Stubborn Stains For tougher stains, a diluted solution of isopropyl alcohol can be highly effective. However, always test this on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the finish. This method can help tackle stubborn stains without compromising the integrity of your flooring.
Protective Measures
Furniture Pads To prevent scratches and dents, place felt pads under furniture legs. These pads act as a buffer, reducing the risk of damage when furniture is moved. Regularly check and replace the pads as they wear out to ensure continuous protection.
Entrance Mats Using doormats at entrances is an excellent way to trap dirt and moisture from shoes before they reach your Amtico flooring. Choose mats with a non-staining backing to avoid discolouration. This simple measure can significantly extend the life of your floor.
Preventing Damage
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and scouring pads can strip the finish and cause lasting damage to your Amtico flooring. Avoid using products containing bleach or other strong chemicals. Instead, stick to gentle, pH-neutral cleaners designed for LVT.
Heat and Sunlight Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and damage to your Amtico flooring. Protect your floor by using blinds or curtains to reduce UV exposure, especially during peak sunlight hours. This helps maintain the vibrant colours and integrity of your flooring.
Periodic Deep Cleaning
Professional Cleaning While regular cleaning is essential, periodic deep cleaning can further enhance the longevity of your Amtico flooring. Consider professional cleaning services to penetrate deeper than regular mopping. GJP Flooring Solutions offers specialised cleaning that revitalises your floor and keeps it looking brand new.
Re-Coating To maintain the finish, periodically re-coating your Amtico flooring is recommended. Follow Amtico’s guidelines or consult with GJP Flooring Solutions for expert advice on the best re-coating practices. This step ensures your floor remains protected and retains its original lustre.
Repairs and Touch-Ups
Minor Repairs: Amtico repair kits are available for minor scratches or scuffs and can be used to touch up these imperfections. Alternatively, consult with GJP Flooring Solutions for suitable touch-up methods that match the original finish of your flooring.
Replacement of Damaged Tiles If a tile is significantly damaged, it can be replaced without having to redo the entire floor. Professional assistance is recommended to ensure seamless integration and an undetectable repair. GJP Flooring Solutions can expertly handle such replacements, restoring the beauty of your floor.
