Germ free floors
Floor is one part of the cleaning schedule which
cannot be avoided even for a day. All the dust with your shoes makes a
mark on your floors and if something spills then it definitely needs
immediate attention. Floors are a part of every action that happens
inside your house. It is where the kids play and families gather,
ultraswab makes sure the floor of your house is germ free.
Vinyl Floors
Vinyl floors are easy to maintain and clean.The
moment anything spills on the floor, use a mop to wipe the area. Use a
neutral floor cleaner to mop the surface. In case the wiping leaves
marks on the floor you can mop again with white vinegar and water. This
will bring sheen to the floor. Never pour water on the floor directly as
it will loosen the surface and the vinyl will detach from the surface
below.
 Ceramic Floors
In case of ceramic floors, the grout lines are the
main thing that one needs to watch. These are man-made tiles, they are
baked and painted so soils do not penetrate inside the tiles. Do not use
any kind of abrasive scrubber on ceramic floors as it will scratch the
floor.Use a damp mop and a neutral floor cleaner to clean the floor. Use
normal cotton mops or micro fibre mops for best results.
 Marble Floors
Marble floors can be found in most of the homes as
are marble bathroom walls and marble counter tops. Unpolished marble is
porous and tends to stain very easily. That is why you should use a
sealer made for this type of flooring. Polished marble flooring is not
as porous, but it still can get stained. So get your polished marble
floor sealed as well.Mix a neutral cleaning liquid into warm water and
use this solution to mop the floor. Make sure that the mop is damp and
not dripping wet.
 Wooden Floors
Wood floors demands maintenance. Care of wooden
floor would depend on the kind of sealant used on the floor. Some use
varnish or lacquer, others use polyurethane. Polyurethane makes the life
of the floor longer and demands relatively less maintenance. For floors
with lacquer or varnish on it, use solvent-based cleaners and polish to
maintain the floor, never use water unless treated with polyurethane.
If the wooden floor has been treated with polyurethane, use a damp mop
to clean the surface with a cleaning solution. Sweep away loose debris
and dirt. This will keep your wooden floor sparkling clean.
 Carpeted Floors
Carpeted floors are best cleaned using a vacuum
cleaner. Vacuum the floor everyday using the carpet brush attachment for
best results. For specific stains, use damp white cotton towel to soak
the stain first and then gently wipe clean the stain. For tough stain
place a damp white towel soaked in a delicate laundry detergent
(especially designed for woollen clothes) for some time and wipe clean
the area several times with water. Never use a brush to remove stains as
it can damage the fibres of the carpet. Weekly or monthly sanitize your
carpet by applying steam or sanitizing solution.
*If you are uncertain whether the
product can be used on your floor type, always test first by using the
product on a smaller area of the floor. Take extra caution when floors
are wet, as they will be slippery. Keep all cleaning liquids and
solutions out of reach of children.
