of joints or compressed onto surface.
Clean excessive adhesive or adhesive
residue from the surface of the material
per adhesive recommendations. Do not
apply abrasive or solvent based cleaners
directly to flooring material.
6. INITIAL MAINTENANCE
Ensure that adhesive has cured for
recommended period of time prior to
conducting initial maintenance. Remove
any protective coverings prior to cleaning.
Sweep, dust mop and/or vacuum flooring
to remove any dirt, dust or debris.
Mix 2-4 ounces of Excelsior All Purpose
Cleaner per gallon of clean, potable water.
Use a clean mop to apply cleaning solution
to floor and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
If using a low-speed floor buffer (180 –
360 RPM), buff floor while wet using a
22 gauge soft bristled scrubbing brush
or a 3M 4100 White Super Polish Pad. If
flooring is heavily soiled, a 3M 5100 Red
Cleaning Pad may be required.
If using an auto-scrubber, buff floor
while wet using a 22 gauge soft bristled
scrubbing brush or a 3M 5100 Red
Cleaning Pad. If flooring is heavily soiled,
allow cleaner to remain on surface for an
additional 5-10 minutes before scrubbing
and removing.
Use an auto-scrubber, wet vacuum or
clean mop to remove any and all excess
cleaning solution. Rinse area with clean,
cool water and allow floor to dry entirely.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners
or “mop and shine” type products, as
they will dull the finish and sheen of the
flooring material. DO NOT use vacuums
that have a beater bar, electric brooms
with hard plastic bottoms or no padding
and vacuums which have a rubber
bumper, as this may cause discoloration,
scratching and loss of sheen.
Installation areas that will be difficult to
maintain with a buffer or auto-scrubber,
such as elevators cabs or small rooms,
as well as areas that will not receive
routine maintenance with a buffer or
auto-scrubber must have a compatible
floor finish installed, such as the Excelsior
MF-940 or GF-950, in order to ease
maintenance of the floor covering.
For further information regarding daily
or routine maintenance, please consult
the product care & maintenance
document or the associated product
technical data sheet.
7. FLOORING PROTECTION
Protect newly installed flooring with
construction grade paper or protective
boards, such as Masonite or Ram Board,
to prevent flooring damage, especially by
other trades. Do not slide or drag pallets or
heavy equipment across the new flooring.
Limit usage and foot traffic according
to the adhesive's requirements. When
moving appliances or heavy furniture,
protect flooring from scuffing and tearing
using temporary floor protection.
All furniture casters must be made of a
soft material and must have a contact point
of at least 1" in width to limit indentation
and flooring damage. All rolling chairs or
seating must have a resilient flooring chair
pad installed over the finished floor to
protect floor covering. All fixed furniture
legs must have permanent felt or soft
rubber floor protectors installed on all
contact points and to reduce indentation.
Floor protectors must have a flat contact
point of at least 1 sq. in. or 1 in. diameter
and must cover the entire bottom surface
of the furniture leg.
Ensure all furniture castors and chair
legs and are clean and free of any and
all dirt and debris. Routinely clean chair
castors and furniture legs to ensure that
dirt or debris has not built up or become
embedded in castors or floor protectors.
Replace chair castors and floor protectors
at regular intervals, especially if they
become damaged or heavily soiled.
Place walk-off mats at outside entrances.
Ensure mats are manufactured with non-
staining backs to prevent discoloration.
