Altro Floor Cleaning Service

We have worked upon many heavily soiled Altro and Vinyl floors. Dealing with all types of jobs ranging from large commercial one’s like this new NHS facility in north London to small residential kitchens and bathrooms.

The common denominator is that the client, in most cases, has started their search online for an Altro floor-cleaning service.

We do get a lot of recommendations and repeat business over the years; however, most people do not start their search for a specialist floor-cleaning service until the floor is in a condition beyond the capabilities of other general cleaning services.

Floors in a condition like this, after the construction of a new health facility, require a specialist floor-cleaning company to restore them to their newly laid condition. 

The chemical solution breaks down compacted dust and soiling, allowing us to begin cleaning with a specially designed rotary cleaning machine.

Different areas of the facility, depending on the level of soiling and the building products compacted into the floor surface, required us to adjust the pressure applied during the cleaning process. We achieve this by increasing or decreasing the weight applied to the machine's cleaning disk.

The slurry produced by agitation in the rotary cleaning process is then extracted from the floor surface, removing months of accumulated dust and dirt.  The process will at times need to be repeated, as one pass may not address the most heavily soiled Altro flooring.

It is always a satisfying part of the work when the floor tool of the extraction machine passes over the resulting mud bath formed by emulsification and agitation. There is also an air of anticipation about whether it will reveal a clear floor surface beneath the mess.

Although the work and the process can be similar in Altro and Vinyl floor cleaning, you never know quite what you will be dealing with. Often, a variety of chemical solutions and cleaning methods will be required to address certain types of soiling/dust.

The next part of the process is to completely neutralise the floor surface to ensure all the chemical residue has been removed and the floor is left in a clean and fresh smear free condition. This will require regular refreshing of the water, failure to observe this part of the procedure will result in an unsatisfactory finish.

On some types of Altro and Vinyl flooring the surface can then be buffed using a high speed machine and a maintenance solution, to leave the floor with a natural and refreshing shine.
