For modest-sized installations, Hoover
®
manufactures a floor-cleaning machine called the
Hoover FloorMATE
™
, which was designed
especially for flat-surfaced floors such as wood and
tile. It works very well with Plynyl as well. It uses
water, detergent and rotary scrub brushes to
aggressively remove soil and dirt. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for use. It can be used
for the home but will work well for some smaller
commercial applications as well. You can find it at
www.hoover.com. The FloorMATE works well with
Crystal Dry™ as well; see Periodic Comprehensive
Cleaning (1).
Periodic Comprehensive Cleaning
There are several methods that work well.
1. The Whittaker GLS
™
Carpet Cleaning System
with Crystal Dry
™
works very well in
combination with routine vacuuming. This
system relies on Crystal Dry, a detergent that
suspends soil into dry crystals that can then be
vacuumed easily. Crystal Dry’s advantage over
conventional detergents is that it does not leave
a soapy residue, which may attract more dirt.
Periodic cleaning with Crystal Dry would be
done using the GLS, Whittaker’s carpet
cleaning machine. The GLS has twin cylindrical
counter rotating brushes that are effective in
removing soil from Plynyl without abrading the
fabric. You can find Whittaker products at
www.rewhittaker.com, or call them at
800-422-7686. GLS, Crystal Dry and Carpet
Roamer are all trademark names of the R.E.
Whittaker Co.
2. Crystal Dry by Whittaker can also be used with
a rotary bonnet and pad. It is recommended to
saturate a cotton microfiber pad with Crystal
Dry to clean the floor. Care should be taken to
make sure the pad stays moist. It is not
necessary to rinse Plynyl after treating with
Crystal Dry.
3. Plynyl can be cleaned with a rotary bonnet and
pad and conventional detergents. The pad
should be a green striped cotton pad available
from most industrial suppliers such as Grainger.
First, a detergent should be applied to the
surface and allowed to stand for 30 seconds to
1 minute. Pass over the floor three to four times
with the rotary bonnet and pad. To pick up the
detergent, pass over the floor again with the
rotary bonnet but with a clean, dry cotton pad.
Care should be taken to remove all detergent
residue or it may attract more dirt. Care should
be taken not to abrade Plynyl with the rotating
pad. Hard-to-remove stains should be treated
by hand, not machine, as per instructions in
Spot and Stain Removal.
4. For large installations, cleaning can be
accomplished with an auto-scrubber. When
using an auto-scrubber, activate its scrubber
brushes and vacuum bar, and set the automatic
solution dispenser on medium to high. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations to get the
best results from the equipment. Do not exceed
an 11 pH for chemicals used in the machinery.
As noted earlier, care should be taken to
remove all detergent residue or it may attract
more dirt.
5. Interior Preservation Inc. (IPI) is an approved
maintenance provider. They have a nationwide
network of service providers. Call Tony Doria at
800-820-0008 extension 109 for a local
provider.
