Wiwax: A Cleaning Agent For All Your Floors

By Enid Hinton


Many flooring companies have come up with products to clean and maintain your floors. However, not all of them are safe to use. Some of the floors such as traditional floors and some of the floors made using modern materials require different maintenance techniques. For instance, if one has installed a rubber floor, then it is important that solvent cleaning products are not used. This is because such products have a very high pH. Some of the recommended products include Wiwax.

One can opt to use a vacuum cleaner followed by damp mopping which has an all-purpose solution which will maintain the rubber floor in most conditions. If there are tough marks on the floor, they can be removed by the use of a floor cleaner. You can then rinse the floor using a cup of the fabric softener to ensure that the shine is maintained.

The porous material that has been recycled has to be sealed with two or even three coats of the commercial rubber sealant. It is always good to clean and wax a new rubber floor to ensure that it is protected. To remove wax occasionally, use a rubber safety stripper, rinse the floor and re-apply with two coats of the product. As the floor ages, it will become easier to maintain since it hardens and becomes wear resistant.

When you are cleaning your vinyl floor, you can follow the procedure indicated by the installer. However, you will need to remember that vinyl floors require a minimum of two coats when you are polishing. This will protect the floor and give it a new look.

If you own a house which has an asphalt tiled floor, it is important that you avoid the use of strong acids, detergents and also abrasives. Instead, using a regular wet mop is enough to clean your floor and also maintain it. If strong stains are present, consider using ammonia which has been diluted and then use it to remove the stains.

Linoleum floors can be cleaned using the cleaning agent since this type of floor is delicate and use of detergents or acids will only damage it. One can opt to use a regular vacuum cleaner and a mop that is moist to clean the floor. The mop should be moistened with white vinegar to remove the stains from the fabric.

In case you have installed a new No-Wax vinyl floor, you should handle it with care since it can be easily damaged when the wrong cleaning material is used. Some of the harmful agents include abrasives among many others. To clean and maintain your floor, get a mop and a vacuum cleaner. You will also need a half bucket of water and white vinegar to remove stains. After cleaning, rinse it carefully using a dry rag to remove the soap.

The stains on the floor can be washed-out by adding an extra half cup of the bleaching agent to a cup of water and then pour it on a towel on the stain. This will ensure that the satin is not washed away.
