Resilient Flooring Cleaning Services
Customized cleaning of all kinds of resilient flooring surfaces—according to manufacturer’s specifications.
Resilient Floors Need Love, Too!
Resilient flooring refers to flooring composed of one of many materials, such as rubber, vinyl composition tile (VCT), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), sheet vinyl and linoleum. While these types of flooring are often cost-effective alternatives to wood and stone, they do require attentive cleaning and maintenance. Though they are “resilient”—resisting wear, impacts and stains—that doesn’t mean they won’t get dirty over time. And these different materials require different cleaning methods, equipment and cleaning products to maintain their appearance and durability.

VCT: Wax On, Wax Off
At Clean Method, we always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, but generally, routine cleaning is typically performed using a pH-neutral cleaner to help preserve the floor finish. Periodically, VCT needs to be stripped of its old floor finish and refinished. This is because over time, the finish tends to break down, trapping dirt and grime with it. Once the old floor finish and soil have been removed, we apply multiple coats of new floor finish according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the facility’s needs. But it depends on the wear and tear of the space being cleaned. In an industrial space, for example, work boots can drag gravel and grease onto the surface, which destroys the wax layer more quickly. Even in a less-trodden office corridor, however, wax tends to yellow over time and needs to be replaced.
Using the Right Equipment for Resilient Flooring
Resilient flooring should be periodically machine-scrubbed to remove embedded soil and restore the appearance of the flooring surface. To properly perform a deep, restorative clean, we use the appropriate equipment, including rotary floor machines, auto scrubbers, brushes or pads—based on the flooring type and manufacturer recommendations. These specifications help us identify precisely what sort of scrubbing pads should be applied to a specific surface.

Resilient Flooring Cleaning Services FAQs
Do you follow manufacturer’s guidelines when cleaning floors?
Yes. This is 100% the most important step in properly cleaning resilient flooring, so we always check the manufacturer’s guidelines before starting a new job. Since each manufacturer will have its own special standards, it’s imperative that we perform this check before we clean any surface.
How often do you recommend cleaning vinyl composition tile?
This really depends on where the flooring is located on a commercial property. If the VCT is situated in an industrial area where work boots drag in mud, grease, gravel and other materials on a regular basis, VCT will need to be deeply scrubbed and re-waxed more regularly than in an office-type setting.
Why does some vinyl flooring look yellow?
Wax Finishes
Not all finishes are the same. Floor finishes for VCT are available in a variety of gloss levels, including high gloss, satin and matte, as well as different performance formulations. Depending on your specific space’s needs, you might want a shiny finish to your floor, or a simpler, matte finish. But waxes also vary according to makeup. A high-solid wax is very hard and thus doesn’t break down as easily as one with a lower quantity of solid material added to it. Static-dissipative (ESD) floor finishes are commonly used in environments such as data centers and other facilities where static control is important.
