It's always recommended to identify the floor type and consult the manufacturer on surface maintenance.

Floor Polishers - How to Care for Various Floor Surfaces

Resilient
Flooring

Includes vinyl tile, sheet vinyl, laminated vinyl strips and tile, asphalt tile, linoleum, and in older buildings, vinyl asbestos tile.

Proper care of resilient flooring depends on which type of flooring is being cleaned. Due to the many different types of resilient floors, the manufacturer should be contacted for cleaning technique. Asbestos tiles require that EPA cleaning regulations are utilized. Floor machines and pads are utilized for various maintenance and restoration processes such as: stripping, scrubbing, polishing, and more.

Stone &
Masonry

One of the most expensive and durable floor coverings. Includes granite, marble, slate, flagstone, terrazzo, and concrete. Use of stone and masonry surfaces is growing rapidly in commercial businesses.

Before cleaning, the type of surface must be identified. Neutral cleaners should be used as they are the safest. Water based penetrating sealers should be used. Care of stone and masonry floors depends on the surface being cleaned and the desired effect. Floor machines are utilized for various maintenance and restoration processes such as: stripping, scrubbing, polishing, and more. Brushes are more commonly used on stone due to the uneven nature of the surface.

Ceramic &
Clay Tile

Often made to look like stone. One of the oldest surfaces known. Highly resistant to soil and moisture, making it one of the easiest floors to maintain.

Generally, topical finishes are not applied to ceramic or clay tile floors. Sealer should be applied to grout lines. Floor machines are utilized for various maintenance and restoration processes such as: stripping, scrubbing, polishing, and more. Most janitors prefer to use soft to medium nylon or nylon grit brushes. Synthetic pads are not typically used since they are not effective in cleaning grout lines.

Laminate
Flooring

Constructed of planks of blocks that are compressed into several layers under high heart and pressure. A top layer of clean resin laminate is applied as the wear layer. Laminates are available in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Many laminates are designed to mimic the look of wood or stone. More commonly used in residential buildings.

Requires little maintenance other than sweeping and vacuuming. Laminates are extremely sensitive to moisture. Moisture control is critical to avoid damage to laminate floors. Any cleaning process should limit the use of moisture. Scrubbing pads are not recommended as they will scratch the surface.

Wood &
Laminate

One of the most basic floor coverings. Includes solid wood, wood laminates, parquet, bamboo, hard woods, soft woods, and more.

General care is complex and varies based on the type of wood. Moisture control is critical to avoid damage to the floor. Periodic maintenance may include recoating and refinishing. This may involve light sanding with a 120 grit, or less, sanding screen mesh disk. Floor machines are utilized for various maintenance and restoration processes such as stripping, scrubbing, sanding, buffing, and more.
