Hi,
i've been asked to quote for cleaning so floor tiles and what they say is laminate. The floor tiles are the hard (plastic?) tiles that are glued down, you can see on the pictures the ones on the floor are very very dirty and worn compared to the photo of the new one. I was going to use the rotary with soft to medium brush and a high alkaline cleaner, then wet vac up. Can anyone recommend a product for these, also something to seal with if you can, or if its worth it.
The picture of the other floor is laminate apparently, but it didn't feel like laminate and was very tightly joined, more like a vinyl but I don't know whether it is? Obviously if it is laminate I don't want to be using a lot of water, any ideas what it could be?

In this case you need a natural hair pad , the alkaline and some 800 grit honingpowder it will do it all in one go. Brush doesn't help in this case.

Can I send you the photos Kev just to make sure? These tiles are very dirty and worn, is anything likely to improve?

Hi Neil, I would also suggest another method for deep cleaning and sealing any vct type tiles or flooring. First I would pre spray the floor with a micelles based floor cleaner which is non-caustic and non-corrosive then use a microcleaning pad which are far more effective than any other floor pad or brush for deep cleaning hard floors, to seal afterwards I would recommend Nano power shine a game changer for sealing any vct type floor as once applied you never again have to strip the dressing from the floor, I will email you on some before and after photos of this concept from the office in the morning. Regards Tadgh
