Cleaning your Karndean Vinyl Planks
Although the Karndean company had humble beginnings when it was founded back in 1973, it has grown into one of the most respected and innovative flooring solutions all across Australia and globally.
For that reason, one of the leading carpet and flooring stores in Cleveland – Touch Flooring – has decided to share some tips on how to clean your Karndean vinyl
planks since we believe that many homeowners have chosen this flooring solution. But first, let’s have a look at a brief overview of Karndean vinyl flooring.
Karndean Flooring Overview
Karndean is a special type of vinyl flooring made from calcium carbonate (limestone), polyvinyl chloride, and pigments. It consists of five layers including:
● 2 PVC backing layers
● 1 clear PVC embossed wear layer
● 1 high definition photographic layer
● 1 polyurethane (PU) protective top coating layer
Furthermore, this advanced vinyl flooring solution comes in numerous designs, sizes, formats, and wear layers. And, when it comes to the different wear layers of the product, it is logical that the thicker the layer, the more durable the floor. There are also some differences in the size of the design strips, i.e. strips cut from another tile or plank, used between planks to give the impression of grouting.
And, regardless of the design chosen, Karndean flooring offers numerous benefits including authentic appearance, resilient structure, versatility, comfort, easy maintenance and repair, and easy cleaning, which is one of the biggest benefits of installing Karndean vinyl planks in your home.
That said, here are some simple tips on cleaning your Karndean flooring:
● Regularly vacuum, sweep, or mop your flooring to eliminate dust and debris. But, if using a vacuum cleaner, ensure it is suitable for Karndean vinyl planks by checking the manufacturer’s guidelines.
● Use a neutral detergent when mopping, preferably Karndean Clean – a product created specifically for this type of flooring.
● Clean stubborn stains with concentrated Karndean Clean using a non-abrasive scouring pad like the ones you use in your kitchen.
● DON’T use products that contain bleach or other harmful chemicals because they can damage your Karndean flooring and make it unsafe.
● DO use Karndean Remove and Refresh products to keep your floor in top shape.
The bottom line, Karndean vinyl planks are one of the ultimate flooring solutions available on the market. But, to enjoy the benefits it offers and keep your floors clean and beautiful for the years to come, you’d better get a Karndean’s Floor Care Kit which includes all the maintenance products needed:
