One of the great things about vinyl flooring is the ease of maintenance. That means you can achieve long-lasting and high end flooring, with minimal effort.

If cleaning is necessary, there are simple methods to use. The following information is a cleaning guide for Altro Orchestra, Operetta and Serenade.

Steps to Manually Clean Vinyl Flooring

1. Sweep up any dust and dirt, and remove large debris.
2. Apply a solution of neutral detergent to the floor in the correct dilution and leave for several minutes. An alkaline cleaner such as Altroclean™ 44 may be required for very heavily soiled areas.
3. Pick up residue with a clean microfibre mop. Replace the mop head as required.
4. Rinse the floor with clean water, removing the dirty water from the floor with the mop and allow it to dry. Use a double bucket to ensure that the floor is rinsed well with clean water.

Steps to Mechanically (Heavy Soiling) Clean Vinyl Flooring

1. Vacuum up any dust and dirt, and remove large debris.
2. Apply a solution of neutral detergent to the floor in the correct dilution and leave for several minutes. An alkaline cleaner such as Altroclean™ 44 may be required for very heavily soiled areas.
3. Mechanically scrub using a rotary cleaning machine fitted with an Altro UniPad™ cleaning pad or similar cleaning pad of the correct size.
4. Wet vacuum the residue and then rinse the floor with warm, clean water and vacuum dry.
