Commercial VCT Floor Cleaning and Maintenance
What is VCT Flooring?
VCT – Vinyl Composite Tile.
VCT flooring is commonly used in businesses and very durable. These floors last for numerous years if properly maintained. The importance of having your VCT properly maintained will increase the appearance and longevity of the tiles.
Following VCT installation
It’s important to note, VCT comes with a protective layer that is only for shipping and installation purposes. The initial, protective layer of VCT does not protect the floor once it is installed. Wait five days for the tiles to settle and the glue to properly cure. After five days, you should have a professional clean the VCT flooring to remove the factory’s protective layer and apply an appropriate amount of protective finish on the floor. *It is important to have protective finish before contents are moved back into the area.
VCT floor cleaning and maintenance
- When cleaning the floors yourself, use a neutral cleaner (PH of 7) for daily maintenance. However, it is still recommended to use a professional cleaner 1-2 times/year.
- Dust breaks down the finish, so it is best to sweep and mop the floor every night (depending on traffic) to ensure your VCT stays in the best condition.
- Remember, having a professional floor cleaner is very different than renting equipment for a do-it-yourself project. ServiceMaster uses precise processes involving the right floor cleaners, the right equipment, and trained technicians.
