Daily floor cleaning removes surface dirt, but over time floors accumulate a worn protective coating, ground-in dirt, and marks that regular cleaning can no longer remove. That’s when it’s time for floor deep cleaning and a fresh protective coating.
When Do You Need Deep Cleaning?
- the floor looks gray and dull even after cleaning;
- worn traffic lanes are visible in high-traffic areas;
- the protective coating is yellowed, blotchy, or peeling;
- cement and construction residue remains on the floor after building work or renovation.
Deep Cleaning and Waxing, Step by Step
- Prepare the room: move the furniture out and sweep or vacuum the floor.
- Strip the old coating and ground-in dirt using a suitable heavy-duty product and a machine or scrubbing pad. To remove post-construction dirt, cement residue, and white deposits from acid-resistant tiles, use Dekam.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water. No detergent may remain on the surface, or the new coating won’t adhere.
- Let the floor dry completely.
- Apply the protective coating in thin, even layers, letting each layer dry before applying the next. TFC COATING is a self-shining acrylic emulsion that forms a durable, glossy protective layer on the floor with no buffing required.
How to Care for Your Floor After Waxing
The protective coating lasts longer when the floor is cleaned regularly with a gentle maintenance product. TFC WASH & CARE cleans and conditions in one step. For daily cleaning, an absorbent microfiber mop works well. You’ll find all products in the floor cleaning products category.
Which Floors Can Be Waxed?
Protective coatings are mainly used on linoleum, Marmoleum, PVC and vinyl flooring, and other resilient and hard floor coverings. Wood and laminate floors need different care, so ask us for advice.
