Thorough cleaning for all floor coverings: Vinyl, linoleum, PVC and more
17 February 2025
Cleanliness plays a crucial role in the business world. Clean and well-maintained floors not only contribute to the positive image of your company, but also promote a healthy and safe working environment. Whether vinyl, linoleum, PVC or other floor coverings - thorough cleaning requires specific expertise and professional techniques. In this article, we provide insights into our expertise and summarize valuable tips for the care and cleaning of your floors.
Vinyl floors: Robust and easy to clean, but not maintenance-free
Vinyl floors are very popular in office and commercial spaces due to their durability, ease of care and visual variety. Vinyl flooring owes its robustness to its top layer, the so-called wear layer, which is usually made of polyurethane (PU for short) - an extremely hard plastic. Despite its robustness, vinyl flooring requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and maintain its appearance. Vinyl is water-repellent and resistant to most acids, alkalis, alcohol and oils. However, not every cleaning agent is suitable.
Cleaning tips for vinyl floors:
vacuum or sweep regularly:
Remove dirt and dust in good time to avoid scratches.
damp cleaning:
Use a mild detergent and a damp mop. Always take care to avoid excess water. This will prevent the adhesive layer of the vinyl from being damaged and water from remaining in the joints.
stain removal:
Stubborn stains can be removed with a mixture of water and vinegar or special vinyl cleaners.
care of the wear layer:
Superficial signs of wear on the wear layer can be made invisible using special care products, thus extending the life of the flooring.
Linoleum flooring: natural charm with special care
Linoleum is an environmentally friendly floor covering that impresses with its natural composition and comfort. It is also characterized by easy care and durability, which is why this linoleum can be found in many public buildings. However, linoleum also requires careful cleaning and regular maintenance to preserve its beauty and functionality in the long term.
Cleaning tips for linoleum floors:
dry cleaning:
Vacuuming or sweeping is the first step to remove loose particles.
damp cleaning:
Use a pH-neutral detergent and a well-wrung mop made of soft material. The water temperature for cleaning should be lukewarm. Be careful to use water sparingly, as too much water can damage the linoleum. Therefore, remove excess water thoroughly.
renew the protective layer:
Regular waxing or the application of a polymer sealant protects the floor. This protective layer prevents the formation of cracks and makes cleaning easier. In addition, this care regularly gives the linoleum a new shine.
PVC flooring: versatile and easy to clean
PVC floors are often used in commercial areas as they offer a variety of design options, such as stone, concrete, tile or wood looks. They are highly durable and easy to maintain. However, cleaning them requires a careful selection of cleaning agents and methods.
Cleaning tips for PVC floors:
regular dry cleaning:
Vacuuming or sweeping is essential to remove loose dirt from the floor.
wet cleaning:
Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Aggressive chemicals, such as chlorine, should be avoided at all costs. Otherwise there is a risk of discoloration or detachment of the adhesive used to attach the floor.
wipe with clean water
If the PVC floor appears matt and dull, it is often sufficient to wipe it with clear water. A little maintenance oil helps even better.
