Maintenance Procedures

  

Project: University of Toledo, College of Pharmacy, Toledo, Ohio

 

It is recommended that no floor finish or sealers be used on our Rubber Flooring Material.
Gloss level will depend on frequency of buffing.

STEP1
STRIPPING AS NEEDED

New Rubber Flooring should be thoroughly machine stripped and scrubbed with scrubbing pad* and stripper. Use stripper manufacturer's recommended stripping procedure.

OR

General Cleaning
Clean floor thoroughly with a good grade of mild detergent cleaner. Use cleaner manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.
STEP 2
Neutralize stripper or cleaner with minimum 10% solution of liquid chlorine bleach. Vacuum, mop or squeegee the neutralized solution from floors. Rinse floor surface with a solution of 10% liquid chlorine bleach in warm water
(may need two or more rinses).
STEP 3
Once floor is dry, buff floor using an Ultra High Speed Buffer with red* pad. (A light mist of clear water ahead of buffer often helps to develop sheen.) After sheen is developed, a higher gloss may be obtained with white* super polishing pad. (Note: New Rubber Flooring will require more frequent buffing until a high sheen is acquired.).
STEP 4
Dry dust or mop floors (do not use dusters or mops treated with mineral oil or other petroleum products).
STEP 5
Periodically, mop floors using 5% solution of liquid chlorine bleach in water.

ALL ABOVE STEPS TO BE USED AS NEEDED.

*It is important to know the various kinds of pads, what they do and when they should be used.
