Vinyl Floor Cleaning in Melbourne
Vinyl is a great flooring surface to have in any area of your home. It always looks appealing in the kitchen, dining areas or even in the bathrooms, but after a long period of time it can look a bit tired and dull. But this does not mean that you have to go and break into your savings and replace the flooring. Stripping, cleaning and sealing the existing vinyl can bring it back to new life. And it will cost a mere fraction of the cost to replace them with new Floors.
What is Vinyl Strip, clean and Seal?
Vinyl strip, clean and seal is simply the process of stripping the vinyl flooring before resealing it. As mentioned above, Vinyl flooring can look dull and lifeless over a period of time. By stripping, cleaning and resealing it, you can bring the vinyl back up to a beautiful, lustrous appearance and eliminate the costly expenditure of laying new flooring.
REDCARPETreatment will go through the job processes meticulously and professionally. The process is as follows:
- The first step is of course to get any visible sediments off the floor by vacuuming with a hospital grade anti-allergen filtered vacuum cleaner.
- The second step is the actual process of stripping of the existing seal off the Vinyl floor. This is an important aspect of the job. In order to get the desired finish, all existing seal MUST be stripped off the exist Vinyl floor. This is done with the application of the stripping agent onto the floor with a suitable mop. The process continues with the actual stripping by using a rotary machine with low RPM to scrub the existing seal off the vinyl floor with the cylindrical black pad. All hard to get corners and edges will be scrubbed manually with the small rectangular pads on handles.
- The third step is the cleaning, which is just as important. The floor is thoroughly cleaned, so that it is free of dust, removed seal, residue and anything else that can affect the new sealer. The cleaning is done with high powered truck mounted machine at a suitable PSI which is the pressure the water exerted on a surface measuring a square inch with a neutral cleaning solution.
- The fourth step is the drying process. A couple of Air movers are placed on the cleaned floor to speed up the drying.
- The fifth step is the sealing. Once, the floor is dried, the new sealer is then applied to the floor and allowed to set. The new sealer will be applied in 3 coats, ensuring each coat is dried before applying subsequent coats.
Once set properly, the newly sealed floor will not only look new again but it will also protect the vinyl surface and make it much easier to clean.
