Marmoleum

Marmoleum Click Maintenance Guidelines

by Forbo

Marmoleum click has a strong, durable protective top layer called Topshield. This innovation from Forbo ensures a highly effective shield against dirt and scuff marks.

With Topshield, your Marmoleum floor will maintain its beautiful appearance with simple cleaning.

Dry dusting is a fast and easy way to keep your floor free from loose dirt. Remove spots with a neutral cleaner and a damp mop or cloth. Avoid excessive use of water on the floor, and make sure chair and furniture legs are covered with felt protectors. An entrance mat will protect the floor from dirt.

Initial Care:

1. Sweep/dust mop, or better still, vacuum the floor.
2. Damp mop the floor with Marmoleum Floor Cleaner at the correct dilution. Do NOT flood the floor.
3. Rinse the floor with a clean mop. This ensures any alkaline residues are neutralized. Marmoleum is made from natural raw materials and harsh alkalis or high pH (such as Ammonia or similar products) should be avoided.
4. Allow to dry.

Regular care:
Sweep, dust mop, damp mop and/or vacuum as needed. For ingrained dirt, a scrubbing sponge (non abrasive) or nylon brush is ideal. Spots & Spills: The vast majority of spills, including pet accidents, can be cleaned off your Marmoleum floor.
1. Act quickly
2. Scrape or blot as much as possible
3. Mop with diluted Marmoleum Cleaner
4. Damp mop with clean water
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 if necessary

If the stain persists, as it may with glue, varnish, paint, ink, tar, cosmetics, shoe polish, some wines, coffee and some other substances, the solution is to remove the surface finish and the stain with it. Rub the stained area with a nylon kitchen pad and undiluted Marmoleum Cleaner. Leave in contact with the floor for 2 - 3 minutes then rinse with clean water. Repeat if necessary. Once dry, apply a small amount of polish.

Restorative care:
In case of accidental damage to the Topshield top layer, excessive wear or a desire for additional gloss, the following steps can be taken:
1. Sweep/dust mop, or better still, vacuum the floor.
2. Scrub floor using undiluted Marmoleum floor cleaner
3. Rinse throughly and allow to dry
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 if necessary
5. Apply 2 thin coats of Marmoleum Floor Finish. Use a clean lint free cloth, or better still, a well-squeezed-out fresh mop head and apply the finish evenly, working backwards. Make sure you do not apply polish to wall base, carpets, furniture, etc. ALLOW THE POLISH TO DRY BETWEEN COATS (usually 30 - 40 minutes). If you prefer a higher gloss level, apply a third thin coat. Never apply more than 3 coats of finish.

Ambering
Because Marmoleum is made from natural materials, many of its most desirable performance attributes (durability and anti-microbial properties) are the result of the continued oxidation of the linseed oil over its life. During the manufacturing process this oxidation may result in a yellowish cast, known as ambering, on the product when it is initially taken out its packaging. This visual discoloration is only TEMPORARY. When exposed to light, the ambering disappears. The process may take only a few hours in bright sunlight, but longer with artificial light. Applying a finish over the ambering makes NO difference — it will still disappear with exposure to light.
