Cleaning and maintaining Karndean flooring is relatively easy and requires regular care. Here are some simple steps keep it looking pristine:

For any flooring, it is always good practice to wipe up any spills Immediately.

For spot loose bits of dirt, these can simply be swept up with a dust pan and brush or if the vacuum cleaner is out (with a hard floor attachment or setting on), keeping these off the floo prevents scratches that may occur if simone was to tread these into the floor.

For a more thorough overall clean, simply mix a mild cleaner (ideally specifically formulated for Karndean floors) with warm water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution ratios.

Dampen a mop or microfiber cloth with the solution and thoroughly wring out excess water to avoid excessive moisture on the Karndean floor.

Gently mop the floor, paying attention to any spills, stains, or high-traffic areas. Do not use excessive force or scrubbing, as it may damage the surface.

Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners or tools such as steel wool, scouring pads, or brushes with stiff bristles as they may damage the flooring or cause scratches.

As a preventative measure, fitting protective pads under the legs of heavy furniture will prevent them from scratching the floor when moved.

Where practical use entryway mats or rugs near exterior entrances to trap dirt, sand, and moisture. This prevents them from being tracked onto the Karndean floor. Ideally, minimise exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat.

Periodic deep cleaning with a specific Karndean cleaning product or using a professional cleaner will keep your Karndean flooring looking clean, vibrant, and in great condition for years to come.
