Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions for Rolled Rubber Floors
Post Construction
- 1. Sweep the floor clean. Dry vacuum to ensure any fine soil is removed.
- 2. Wet scrub floor with diluted TASKI Profi cleaner (6-8 oz/gl ) using buffer or autoscrubber with TASKI contact pad or soft nylon brush.
- 3. Wet vacuum soiled solution, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly (6-8 hours).
Initial Treatment
- Apply 2-3 thin coats of Vision Matte.
- Allow proper drying time before applying next coat.
- Note: Apply floor finish with synthetic wax mop. While the finish is wet, buff the floor with floor buffer (150-300 rpm) and soft nylon brush. This application drives the finish into the floor and prompts proper sealing and coating of the floor.
Daily Cleaning or as Needed
- 1. Dry vacuum floor thoroughly(daily).
- 2. Auto scrub or wet mop floor using TASKI Combiplus or TASKI Wiwax. (2-3 oz/gl)
- Note: In an office environment, the floor may become scuffed due to heavy foot traffic and may require weekly or as needed spray buffing or dry buffing of the floor with a mint or white pad. In application of spray buffing use TASKI Wiwax diluted 50/50 with water.
Periodic Cleaning as Needed
- 1. Dry vacuum floor thoroughly.
- 2. Wet scrub floor with TASKI Profi (4 oz/gl). This application is done with an autoscrubber or buffer and wet vacuums. Use TASKI purple pad for scrubbing the floor.
- 3. Allow solution to remain on the floor for 5 minutes.
- 4. Wet vacuum soiled solution. Rinse and allow to dry (1-2 hours).
- 5. Apply 1-2 thin coats of TASKI Vision Matte using wet buffing with soft nylon brush.
A Few Tips About Working with Rubber Floors
- 1. Use high CFM vacuum to pick up dust.
- 2. Wait for floor to dry between applications of floor finish or sealer.
- 3. Apply floor finish (thin coats) with wax mop and follow floor buffer with a soft nylon brush.
- 4. For large areas, use an autoscrubber with a contact pad or soft nylon brush to clean the floor daily.
- 5. For stripping a rubber floor, use TASKI Ice-It and nylon brush.
- 6. For poorly maintained floors, it may be necessary to continue cleaning with Ice-It for an extended period.
- 7. For food areas: cleaning should be done with Profi (2-4 oz/gal).
- 8. Removing gum: use a generic gum remover. If solvent is used, floor must be rinsed with water to prevent solvent damage to floor.
- 9. For areas with high traffic, floors may be top scrubbed and recoated as needed.
