Floor Cleaning and Floor Care
for Vinyl, Parquet, Laminate and Decking Boards

Floor Cleaning of Vinyl

Vinyl floors are known for their durability and ease of care. Daily cleaning can be done by simply sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and loose dirt particles. A vacuum cleaner with a special floor nozzle is ideal to avoid scratches. In addition to daily care, vinyl flooring should be damp-mopped weekly. Use a neutral cleaner that gently cleans the floor without damaging the surface. Ensure the mop is only slightly damp to avoid excessive moisture.

Removal of Light Dirt
Light dirt can usually be removed easily with a damp cloth and some neutral cleaner. For more stubborn stains, a special vinyl cleaner can be used. These cleaners are specifically designed for vinyl floors and remove dirt without attacking the surface.

Treatment of Stubborn Stains
Stubborn stains like shoe scuffs or dried liquids can be treated with vinegar or glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning agent to a soft cloth and gently rub the stain. For particularly stubborn stains, a special vinyl cleaner can be used. 

Tips to Avoid Scratches
To avoid scratches, equip furniture with felt glides and use protective mats in high-traffic areas. This helps to protect the surface of the vinyl floor and minimize wear marks.

Special Care Products for Vinyl

PU cleaners are ideal for deep cleaning vinyl floors. They remove deeply embedded dirt and leave a protective layer on the surface, protecting the floor from further wear. The wear layer of vinyl floors can be refreshed with special sealing products. These products protect the floor from wear and maintain its shine. Regular refreshing of the seal ensures that the floor remains beautiful for a long time. Products like Dr. Schutz PU Cleaner are specifically designed for vinyl floors. They provide effective cleaning while also caring for the surface, extending the floor's lifespan. Here are our vinyl floor care products.

Floor Care for Parquet

Parquet floors require regular cleaning by sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and dirt that could damage the surface. A soft broom or a vacuum cleaner with a parquet nozzle is ideal. Parquet should only be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Never use wet cleaning methods, as standing water can damage the wood and cause swelling.

Use of pH-Neutral Cleaners
For cleaning parquet floors, pH-neutral cleaners should be used. These cleaners are gentle on the wood and prevent damage to the surface.

Avoiding Standing Water
Standing water should be avoided on parquet floors at all costs. Water can seep into the joints and damage the wood. Always wipe the floor dry afterward.

Treatment of Stains
Stains such as shoe scuffs or water stains can be removed with special parquet cleaners. Stubborn stains can be treated with a gentle sanding pad to protect the surface.

Special Care Products for Parquet

Care oils and waxes are ideal for maintaining the natural beauty of parquet floors. They penetrate deep into the wood and give it a fresh shine. Polishing machines can be used to refresh the shine of parquet floors and smooth the surface evenly. This is particularly useful after applying care oils and waxes. Products from Saicos are specifically developed for the care of parquet floors. They gently clean and care for the wood, keeping the floor beautiful for longer. Here are our parquet care products.

Floor Cleaning of Laminate

Laminate floors should be regularly swept or vacuumed to remove dirt and dust that could cause scratches. Use a vacuum cleaner with a special floor nozzle or a soft broom. When mopping laminate floors, only a minimal amount of water should be used to prevent the panels from swelling. A slightly damp mop is ideal. Here are our laminate care products.

Use of Laminate-Specific Cleaners
There are special cleaners for laminate floors that are optimally tailored to the needs of this material. These cleaners remove dirt thoroughly without damaging the surface.

Tips for Stain Treatment
Stains on laminate floors can be treated with vinegar cleaner or glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning agent to a soft cloth and gently wipe the stain.

Protection Against Scratches
To avoid scratches, use furniture pads and rugs. This protects the surface of the laminate floor from wear and scratches.

Floor Cleaning of Decking Boards

Decking boards should be regularly cleared of leaves and dirt to prevent moisture buildup and mould. Use a broom or a leaf blower to keep the boards clean. Pressure washers can be used to clean decking boards but should be used with caution to avoid damaging the surface. Keep the pressure low and the distance from the floor high.

Special decking cleaners are effective against dirt and contaminants on wooden boards and help maintain their original appearance. These cleaners remove dirt thoroughly and are gentle on the wood. Anti-algae agents are ideal for removing moss and algae that can grow on decking boards. These agents also prevent regrowth and keep the boards clean. A thorough cleaning in spring and autumn helps to extend the lifespan of your decking boards and prepare them for the coming months. Remove dirt and contaminants thoroughly and then apply a protective layer.

Special Care Products for Decking Boards

Oils and stains from Saicos protect wooden boards from weather influences and keep the wood supple. These products penetrate deep into the wood and provide long-lasting protection. Regular care and the use of protective products help to extend the lifespan of your decking boards. Ensure you regularly clean and maintain the boards.
