PVC tiles are the ideal solution for an attractive, high-performance garage floor. However, to preserve their appearance and durability, regular maintenance is essential. In this article, discover our maintenance protocol for PVC tiles, as well as the tools and products we recommend to keep your floor spotless.

Why is regular maintenance important?

PVC tiles offer many advantages, not least their resistance to stains and chemicals. However, regular cleaning will :

  • Preserve the aesthetics and color of your tiles.
  • Extend their service life by preventing the accumulation of dirt that can damage the surface.
  • Ensure safety by eliminating slippery residues and providing a non-slip surface.

To ensure optimal maintenance, we invite you to consult our detailed maintenance protocol.

Maintenance protocol for PVC tiles

Step 1: Preparation

  • Dry cleaning: Sweep the floor regularly with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
  • Visual inspection: check the general condition of the slabs and identify any particularly dirty or damaged areas.

Step 2: Wet cleaning

  • Using a scrubber-dryer:
    For thorough cleaning, a scrubber-dryer for PVC floors is an essential tool. This equipment cleans evenly and effectively, without damaging the surface of the tiles.
    Discover our scrubber-drier for PVC floors to make this step easier.
  • Application of a finishing product:
    After cleaning, the application of a specific product helps to restore the shine of your tiles and reinforce their resistance to stains.
    DR Schutz Polish Mat is ideal for this purpose. This product provides a matt, protective finish, while facilitating daily maintenance.

Step 3: Drying and finishing

  • Allow the floor to dry completely to prevent water marks from forming.
  • Inspect the result and, if necessary, repeat the application of the finishing product in the most stressed areas.

Practical tips for optimum maintenance

  • Cleaning frequency:
    Daily or weekly sweeping, combined with regular wet cleaning, keeps your tiles in perfect condition.
  • Suitable products:
    Always use products specifically designed for PVC to avoid damaging the surface. Avoid overly aggressive detergents that could alter the appearance and anti-slip properties of your tiles.
  • Prevention:
    Place guards under equipment or machines likely to leave marks to minimize wear on the tiles.
  • Consult the complete protocol:
