Cleaning & Maintenance Forbo

Forbo FloorCare method

ESD & cleanroom flooring
Forbo Flooring is aware that the majority of the costs incurred during the lifetime of a durable floor come from its care and maintenance. This is why our Colorex flooring products have always been developed with special attention to easy and environmentally friendly cleaning methods and consistent appearance retention properties. This will allow you to reduce labour and the need for cost intensive maintenance coatings and floor finishes.

Initial cleaning (once)

The following instructions will set the base for an optimal performance of your Colorex SD/EC floor:
• Remove dust and loose dirt by vacuum or damp mopping. Allow the floor to dry.

Thoroughly dry polish with a low speed single disk machine and red pad.
We recommend to perform two passages with crossing strokes.

If a shiny appearance is preferred, an additional dry polishing with
a white or yellow pad can be performed. High speed is acceptable
but not required.

Important notice for ESD protected areas (conductive floors):

The use of protective or maintenance coatings such as waxes, polymer dispersions and alike may negatively affect conductivity. If at all desired, only specific products for conductive floors should be used.

Daily or regular cleaning

For small rooms or areas with light traffic: Wipe daily with impregnated
single use tissues.

For large rooms or areas with heavy traffic: Spray clean with a low
speed single disc machine and red pad. This cleaning method is
also best suited to raised floors.

Periodic maintenance

For small rooms or areas with light traffic: Wipe the floor with a neutral
cleaning solution and rinse with clear water. Twin bucket system
is recommended.

For large rooms or areas with heavy traffic: a scrubber dryer machine
is generally recommended for large areas. Clean manually where
the machine cannot reach.

Colorex SD/EC can be deep cleaned, restored and even repaired with abrasive methods without leaving any trace and without affecting the surface quality, the appearance and functionalities in any way.
