Throughout homes and businesses, VCT, or Vinyl Composition Tile flooring is very common. The condition of the VCT is essential for appearances and health. The VCT flooring requires regular maintenance in order to retain the shine and to preserve the quality of the flooring for long term use. In addition to your efforts, routine professional cleaning and stripping is vital to manage the condition, beauty, and longevity. Today, we at DM Carpet Cleaning would like to share the basics of VCT flooring maintenance.
Clean Dust & Debris from Vinyl Composition Tile
Being a natural abrasive substance the dust, dirt, and other debris along with friction, caused by foot traffic, a sandpaper-like effect results in abrasions and scratches. The higher the risk your floor is danger of damage the longer you allow the particles to linger. Sweep up the VCT flooring with a soft bristled broom to clear the particles, including corners and edges, to make sure you get the whole floor. Using warm water, dampen your mop to spot mop any residues or spots and immediately follow up with a dry rag to remove residual moisture. Do not let the water air dry, as this can cause water spots and other issues.
Get Stains Out of VCT Tile
It is important to instantly wipe up any spills, particularly any colored substances. If the spots do not clear with a damp cloth, mix up a soapy, warm water mixture to clean up the residues. Immediately dry the area.
Scrub & Recoat VCT Flooring
A scrubbing machine is ideally used for your VCT floor deep cleaning needs every 3-6 months. You need to effectively remove the buildup of grit and grime. After the deep scrub, it is necessary to rinse the flooring and immediately dry the floor. To protect the VCT flooring, apply at least 3 coats of stain resistant VCT wax and once the floor is dry, there will be a very polished look.
Maintenance VCT Floors
To offer your commercial VCT floors more protections, ensure you have entry mats at the doors that feature a rubber backing. This help contain much of the dirt and debris that causes this in order to help you avoid abrasions, scratches, and staining that will quickly make the floor look dull and unsightly. In order to prevent the color of your VCT floor from fading and discoloring, invest in window treatments like UV window film, blinds, and/or curtains on the windows as well.
