What is PVC cleaner?

PVC cleaner is a specially formulated cleaning product designed for effective and safe cleaning of PVC floors. HG offers various solutions, including HG vinyl cleaner for regular cleaning, HG vinyl cleaner extra strong for stubborn dirt, and HG vinyl protector for a glossy protective layer.

Solutions for PVC floor cleaning

For cleaning PVC floors, there are some household solutions you can try, although the results are not always optimal and there are sometimes risks involved. Here are some suggestions:

• A mixture of warm water and a mild cleaner can be used to mop the floor. Make sure you rinse the floor if needed and allow it to dry thoroughly to prevent streaks.
• Vinegar, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10, can help remove stubborn stains. However, be careful, as vinegar can damage the coating on some PVC floors.
• A paste of water and soft soap can be used to treat specific stains. Apply the paste to the stain, allow it to work for a moment and then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

While these solutions can work, HG recommends using specially developed PVC cleaning products for the best results and to prevent damage to your floor. These are tailored to the specific properties of PVC and provide thorough cleaning with less risk.

Causes of PVC floor soiling

PVC floors are popular because of their durability and low maintenance, but they can still become soiled. Here are some reasons why your PVC floor can become dirty:

• Daily use: By regularly walking over the floor, dirt and dust can build up on the surface.
• Spilled liquids: When liquids are not cleaned up immediately, they can cause stains on the PVC floor.
• Incorrect cleaning products: Using harsh or unsuitable cleaning agents can result in a dull or damaged surface.
• Insufficient protection: Not using doormats or floor protection at the entrance can mean that dirt and grit from outside are brought inside.

To prevent soiling of your PVC floor, it is important to vacuum and mop regularly with a suitable cleaning product, such as an HG product suitable for PVC floors. Place doormats at entrances and clean up spilled liquids immediately. By following these steps, you can keep your PVC floor in excellent condition and prevent soiling.
