General Maintenance Instructions

Plynyl

is made with a woven vinyl fabric bonded to

commercial-grade backings. Vinyl is a very tough,
durable material and few household or common
office chemicals affect it. Routine maintenance
along with periodic cleanings and diligent attention
to stain-causing spills will provide a long useful life.

The frequency of routine maintenance depends on
the application. The frequency has to be
determined by the user or through consultation with
the manufacturer. The methods for routine
maintenance as well as cleaning methods also
depend on the application. Frequency depends on
the amount of soil and dirt Plynyl is exposed to. Dirt
and soil will degrade any flooring, so proper
maintenance will increase its natural life cycle.

Plynyl is unique among soft floor coverings
because water can be used effectively in daily
maintenance. Detergents and shampoos with a pH
up to 11 can be used repeatedly and safely.
However, it is recommended to use the lowest pH
detergent that provides a satisfactory result. When
using water with any of the maintenance
techniques listed, be sure not to leave any standing
water and keep foot traffic off the floor until it is
completely dry. Also, do not over-wet areas to be
cleaned.

Do not use acetone, Pine-Sol

or citrus-based

cleaners, as they can damage Plynyl. Solvents
containing xylene or toluene may be used in a
limited fashion as a spotting agent. See Spot and
Stain Removal.

Plynyl w2w and tile are not absorbent and therefore
are not recommended to be used in street-level
entrances as walk-off mats.

It is recommended that a walk-off mat be provided
in every installation to reduce the tracking of soil
and other foot-borne contaminants onto the Plynyl
floor. If a walk-off mat is not provided, it will result in
premature wear of the Plynyl installation.

Sealers, waxes, stain repellents and other topical
applications are not required for Plynyl. Using a
powder cleaner such as HOST is not required; it
does not result in more effective cleaning.

Direct contact between natural rubber and Plynyl
will cause discoloration in Plynyl. Avoid the use of
rubber castors, furniture pads, or other rubber pad
or cushion products.

It is necessary to use chair pads under rolling
chairs to protect Plynyl fabric and seams.

Maintenance Techniques

The most common and easily accessible
maintenance options are the vacuum cleaner and
mop. Either is effective in picking up and removing
dirt. If a vacuum cleaner is used, the beater
brushes should be lowered so it brushes the
surface of the Plynyl to release dirt and brush out
scuffs.

In the absence of additional cleaning methods
noted in Periodic Comprehensive Cleaning,
mopping is slightly more effective than a vacuum
cleaner because you can use a detergent with a
mop. If a detergent is used in mopping, spread it
out on the area to be mopped, allow it to stand 30
seconds to 1 minute and then mop the area. Rinse
the mop with clean water and apply detergent again
if necessary. Rinse and mop with at least one
additional clean water rinse after applying
detergent, as detergent residue will attract soil if not
properly rinsed.

NOTICE: DO NOT use saddle
soap, cleaning solvents,
furniture polish, oils, varnish,
abrasive cleaners, soaps or
ammonia water.
