To clean Karndean flooring effectively, follow these steps:

  1. Remove loose dirt and dust using a soft sweeping brush, vacuum (hard floor setting), or dust mop.
  2. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing 50ml of Karndean Clean (a pH-neutral cleaner) with 8-10 liters of clean water.
  3. Mop the floor with the cleaning solution, applying it evenly and removing any excess liquid.
  4. Allow the floor to dry completely before walking on it.
  5. For spills, wipe them up immediately with a clean cloth or paper towel using Karndean Clean or a mild detergent solution.
  6. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, vinegar, or wax as they can damage the floor.

For occasional deeper care (every 6 to 12 months):

  • Use Karndean Remove diluted 1 part to 5 parts water to clean thoroughly, scrubbing with the appropriate pad and rinsing well.
  • Then apply Karndean Refresh undiluted to restore a satin finish and protection, letting it dry between coats and overnight before use.

Using a soft brush or microfiber mop is recommended to avoid scratching the surface. Regular cleaning prevents dirt build-up and maintains the floor’s appearance and durability.
