VOYAGER MARITIME • Polyflor Voyager Maritime PU incorporates a polyurethane surface treatment, which protects the floorcovering by resisting soiling and scuffing. This protection facilitates a reduction in the intensity of the initial clean and provides the foundation for the ongoing maintenance regime. This easier cleanability offers maintenance cost savings when compared with non-treated materials. • The following maintenance instructions are designed to minimise the cost factor, without compromising the long-term appearance of your floorcovering. INITIAL CONSTRUCTION CLEAN • Remove all loose debris. • Ensure that all traces of adhesive are removed from the surface of the floorcovering. • Mop sweep or vacuum to remove dust and grit. • Damp mop with a neutral detergent. • If required, dry buff with a 1000 rpm plus rotary machine fitted with a suitable clean pad. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE • The following recommendations are provided as a guideline, and the frequencies can be changed to optimise the appearance. DAILY • Mop sweep or vacuum to remove dust and loose dirt. • If required, spot clean to remove stubborn marks with a neutral cleanser. • If required, dry buff to restore finish. WEEKLY/MONTHLY • Assess the appearance of the floor. • If required, scrub with a scrubber dryer fitted with suitable pads, and using neutral cleanser (pH 7 to 9). • If required, dry buff to restore finish. APPLICATION OF A FLOOR DRESSING • The polyurethane surface treatment will provide an initial protection to the floorcovering. However an application of a metalised polish may be required eventually to provide extra protection. For polish application please follow details of the procedure below. • Using an applicator and tray, or Kentucky mop with wringer and bucket, the first coat should be applied thinly and evenly across the floor, to within 200mm of the skirtings. It should then be left to dry. This normally takes approximately thirty minutes, depending on the ambient conditions and the thickness of the coating. • When the first coat is dry, a second coat should be applied at right angles to the direction of the first. Subsequent coats should be applied at right angles, and the final coat should be applied right up to the skirting. • Two to three thin coats are usually sufficient to provide excellent resistance to abrasion, scuffing and removal of black heel marking. However, be guided by your own periodic assessments for the particular location. • In order to minimise costs, subsequent polish applications may be applied only to traffic paths. • Periodically – generally every six months – assess the appearance of the floor. If there is an unacceptable build-up of polish, this should be stripped and reapplied, as per the instructions above. NOTE: The maintenance regime requires the installation of an effective barrier matting system. • Cleaners and detergents should be diluted as per the manufacturers’ instructions. For recommended products, see the Polyflor Voyager Approved Maintenance Products sheet located within the Products and Technical section of www.voyager.polyflor.com. • For further information and advice on specific applications, consult Polyflor Customer Technical Services on +44 (0)161 767 1912, or email transport@polyflor.com.

REGULAR CLEANING IS MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE FLOORCOVERING AND MORE COST-EFFECTIVE THAN OCCASIONAL HEAVY CLEANING.
