Getting a shine on vinyl flooring

daleaway, Aug 27, 4:48am
I'd like to know what product people use to polish vinyl flooring.

Years ago there was an all-in-one (wash and shine) product called Dual. Is there anything like it around now!

Detergents take the shine off them.

I have only ever used hot water-the vinyl is about 4 years old-no detergent,and it is still shiny as new.

Klear is the new Dual.

they stopped making that

Google tells me that Klear was discontinued last year and is now apparently replaced by Pledge Multi-Surface Wax in the UK - but that product does not seem to be sold in New Zealand.

I purchased Klear recently from Pak 'n' Save.

Johnsons used to have a mop on vinyl polish. Most cleaning materials wholesalers would probably stock it.

Try some car polish.It buffs up well and is durable.

go to a commercial cleaners supply company.they have really hard wearing products made for the job.I used Vectra (a liquid mopped onto the floor) in a hospital where I once worked. It was fantastic and only had to over it every 6 to 10 months

When we got Karndean flooring done we used a product called Shield Sealer which now I think has been replaced by Dim Glow floor protectorwhich you can get in Matt or Gloss http://essentialfloors.co.nz/pdf/Karndean%20vinyl%20cleaning
%20&%20maintenance.pdf I suppose any flooring shop that stocks Karndean would have it.

I don't understand the need to have it shiny.

That Klear stuff isn't good, it's a coating. Just clean it, if you really want gloss, change the flooring.

Small amount of fabric softener in the final rinse. Not too much as it can be slippery.
