Title: Karndean Kitchen Cleaning
Post by: benny d on September 03, 2013, 03:49:11 pm
This is for a domestic Karndean Kitchen, just general usage.

I am thinking of using Johnsons Carefree Speed stripper, and then Carefree Satin 2 Floor polish to finish. Does this seem ok?
Tnx

You only need to strip it if it has had a polish applied to it. If its the original factory coating then it just needs cleaning with Neutral floor cleaner then 2 coats of polish

In addition. you only need to strip the top coat if it is built up, damaged or discolored.

Sometimes a deep scrub and overcoat is all that required.

I have used Spinergy 7 from Alltec in the past, and Amtech Microsplitting Cleaners as well in the past.
To me if I dont put something like that on the floor and use my SX-12 to get rid of the dirt I wouldnt feel as if I have done the cleaning properly?

Its like cleaning a carpet without a pre-spray?
Tnx for the advice.

Spinergy 7 is a neutral floor cleaner. More intended for tiles than LVT but would still work.

You need agitation to remove any adhered soiling and key the floor for subsequent treatments so a rotary and a floor wand are the best option.

Spinners are for tiles and stone.
