Colorfields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions Colorfields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions INTRODUCTION The following are recommended maintenance procedures for Mannington ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring. Proper and regular maintenance is necessary to protect and prolong the life of the floor. A good maintenance routine involves the following: • Frequent sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming to control loose soil and grit. • Prompt removal of stains and spills. • Cleaning the floor with a properly diluted quality non-alkaline floor cleaner. • Applying two coats of recommended cross-linked acrylic floor polish/sealer. INITIAL JOB-SITE CLEANUP MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Initial Cleaning Procedure: • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • For moderate to heavy construction soil during the first cleaning operation, apply a neutral pH cleaner through a properly set up floor scrubber. • Follow manufacturers’ recommendations for the proper dilution ratio for a heavily soiled area. Using a higher dilution may dull the floor. • Apply the cleaner through the floor scrubber with the vacuum turned off. • Allow the cleaner to work for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow the solution to dry out. • Once the cleaner has had time to work, scrub again. This time, turn on the vacuum system to remove the cleaning solution, rinse water and dirt. A second cleaning, using the same procedures, may be required on jobsites that are particularly dirty. It is better to repeat the procedures than to use harsher chemicals or methods that are more aggressive. After the job site dirt has been removed, reduce the neutral floor cleaner to a dilution ratio for moderate to light cleaning. Use a neutral floor cleaner to achieving optimal results. Optimal pH is 7 to 8 measured after the cleaner has been added to warm water. Recommended Products and Sources: • Diversey Profi (also known as Taski Profi): Item # SJ-4512759.

It is important to use commercial cleaning equipment, described below, to achieve satisfactory results. Application of finish/sealer: After the floor is thoroughly cleaned, apply two coats of recommended cross-linked floor polish/sealer. Recommended procedure: • Clean ColorFields as outlined above. • Apply two coats of recommended finish / sealer with a clean mop or applicator. • Allow 30 minutes trying time between coats. • Keep all foot traffic off the floor between coats. • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use and disposal.

Follow the manufacturer’s label for pigment dilution, use, clean-up, and disposal. See specifications at: www.xlnorth.com. ONGOING MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Recommended Ongoing Cleaning Procedure: Ongoing ColorFields maintenance is virtually the same as cleaning newly installed product. • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • Begin ongoing maintenance by thoroughly cleaning the flooring with a properly adjusted Auto Scrubber and hard Microfiber pad for best results. • Follow the manufactures’ recommended dilution ratio of a pH neutral floor cleaner. • Use a dilution rate for light soil or heavy soil depending on the condition of the floor. Keep these measurements accurate. Remember, more is not better. Small Sized and Tight Quarter Installations: • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • Begin ongoing maintenance by thoroughly cleaning the flooring with a Microfiber pad. • Apply pH neutral cleaning solution with a deck brush • Let the solution stand for approximately 5 to 10 minutes before scrubbing. • Do not allow the cleaning solution to dry. • After 5 to 10 minutes, scrub the surface with Microfiber pad or deck brush. • Use a wet / dry vacuum system to remove the cleaning solution, rinse water and dirt. Just mopping will not work. • Floor scrubbers for tight quarters are becoming more common and readily available. Using a small floor scrubber is preferred method, if possible. Large Installations: • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • Begin ongoing maintenance by thoroughly cleaning the flooring with a Microfiber pad • Mix the manufactures’ recommended dilution ratio of a pH neutral floor cleaner with warm water. Use a dilution rate recommended for light soil or heavy soil depending on the condition of the floor. • Keep these measurements accurate. Remember, more is not better. • Use a floor scrubber with the recommended Microfiber pad, a white pad or scrub brushes. Again, Microfiber pads generate the best results. • For on-going maintenance, using a floor scrubber, there is no need to let the solution stand for 5 to 10 minutes. One pass is usually sufficient when maintenance events occur on a regularly scheduled basis. Ongoing Maintenance Includes Application of Floor Finish Sealer: • Dust mop the area with a Microfiber dust mop before cleaning to remove dirt and soil. • To enhance gloss level and appearance retention, buff with a red pad using 175 to 1500 RPM equipment. • Alternatively, dry buff using a white pad and 1000 to 1500 RPM equipment. • Follow manufacturer’s label for proper dilution, use, clean-up and disposal. RECOMMENDED COMMERCIAL CLEANING EQUIPMENT, PADS AND DETERGENTS Recommended Commercial Cleaning Equipment: The use of a properly adjusted commercial flooring scrubber is required. A floor scrubber applies the recommended detergent at the prescribed dilution rate, scrubs the floor, applies rinse water and vacuums it all up, in one operation. To work properly, a floor scrubber must be set up and adjusted properly. Notable adjustments include: Choices that Work. Questions about warranties? call 800 241 2262 or visit www.manningtoncommercial.com August, 2015 ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile Flooring Maintenance Instructions • Scrub head or cylinder pressure • Water and detergent auto mixing controls • Rinse water application rate • Vacuum system adjustments for thorough dirty water reclamation • Squeegee pressure, cleanliness, angle and flexibility ColorFields Rubber Flooring is easiest to maintain with a properly adjusted floor scrubber fitted with a hard micro fiber pad (see sourcing details below). A white pad may be used as well. The use of a single disc floor-scrubbing machine, or “swing machine” will result in less satisfactory results and typically more maintenance effort. A single disc floor scrubber is to be fitted with a with a hard microfiber pad, a white pad or 22 gauge flagged nylon bristle brushes. A “wet-dry” shop vacuum must be used to reclaim the dirty rinse water after scrubbing. Note: When using a single disc floor-scrubbing machine, the floor MUST be wet with a recommended cleaning solution and kept wet during the procedure. RECOMMENDED MICROFIBER PADS AND FLOOR SCRUB BRUSHES Microfiber – Microfiber pads made for cleaning hard surface flooring, installed on an auto scrubber will generate the best results. Microfiber pads remove more soil, more efficiently, than traditional cleaning brushes and standard pads. Microfiber pads are recommended as the best approach for cleaning and maintaining ColorFields Rubber Sheet and Tile. They do a superior job, are reusable and are less costly. It is important to change and launder microfiber pads on a regular basis for best performance and lower overall costs. Standard White Pads – When installed on a floor scrubber, white pads will generate acceptable results. Resist the temptation to use pads that are more aggressive. Aggressive pads will tend to dull the floor and make maintenance more difficult. 22 Gauge Flagged Nylon Bristle Brushes - When installed on a floor scrubber, 22 gauge flagged nylon brushes will generate acceptable results. Resist the temptation to increase the auto scrubber’s brush pressure setting in an attempt at more aggressive cleaning.
