Tips
Here are some other fantastic hints to help keep your floor looking its best in the years ahead.
1) Mop up spills immediately
If you have a family and small child around, then you’ll be well aware that spills from drinks and food can happen any time that’s why it’s important to mop up anything that spills right away so it reduces the risk of staining.
2) Use floor protectors to further protect against scratches
To avoid scratching it’s important to avoid dragging or sliding heavy furniture or other objects along the floor. Use protector pads at the bottom of furniture items and chair legs so the Karndean floor remains protected.
3) Similarly, use mats
Protect against moisture and grit by using entrance mats at the front door.
4) Use heavy load castors to prevent indentation
Keep your Karndean floor looking brand new by protecting against indentation from heavy furniture. To do this, use heavy load castors.
5) Never, EVER use bleach
Avoid using bleach-based products on your floor as using these types of cleaning products cause discolouration and can make the floor slippy.
6) Use Karndean’s own cleaning products
To get the most out of your Karndean flooring use cleaning products that are specifically made to clean this designer floor. Moreover, these cleaning products are environmentally friendly, so you don’t need to deal with harsh chemicals or polishes.
For routine cleaning Karndean recommend using their routine cleaner Karndean Clean.
