Buke Maintenance

Burke Flooring Materials Maintenance Methods

Many products are available that can do a good job of cleaning and polishing rubber tile. Specific products cannot be recommended since Burke has no control over their manufacture or application. Consult manufactures, suppliers and janitorial services as to the suitability of a specific product for rubber tile maintenance.

Wait several days, at least 48 hours, after installation before cleaning a new rubber floor. This allows time for the flooring to bond firmly. During this period the flooring should be protected against traffic. Heavy paper overlays are suggested to prevent scratching or damage from dirt, grim,plaster, etc.

Prior to usage, all floor tiles (except Rouleau^®) and all stair treads shoul be cleaned with a commercial quality floor stripper. Also, apply at least one coat slip-resistant floor finish.

Constellation^™, Natural Illutions^™, and Marble Rubber Floor Maintenance

Cleaning

Sweep or brush loose dirt from floor. Dip and wring mop out in  a pail of correctly mixed cleaning solution, and mop floor. Do not flood the floor.

Rinse mop in second pail of clear, cool, or lukewarm water, and wipe floor free of cleaning solution.

Inspect to make certain all dirt and marks have been removed and that the floor is thoroughly dry. Floor is now ready for polish.

Apply Polish

Use liquid emulsion polish. Pour polish into shallow receptacle. Dip applicator into polish and apply a thin even coat.

For industrial installations use a clean mop and wringer pail. Use light pressure to wring out excess polish from themop in order to apply evenly without puddling.

When polish has dried completely (about 30 minutes or longer) buff the floor with a soft bristle or lamb's wool buffer. For a new floor, apply a second coat immediately, then buff again.

Check container instructions for use on rubber tile.

Normal Maintenance

Burke flooring should be regularly swept, mopped with lukewarm water, and buffed to maintain apperarance. Spills should be removed promptly to avoid staining. If polish wears off in certain sections of the floor, these areas can be cleaned and repolished without having to begin the process again for the entire floor.

Polish Buildup

Periodically, when heavy layers of polish build up or as traffic dictates, it is necessary to strip the polish from the floor using a stripping compound recommended for use on rubber floors. If a buffer is used for stripping, floor should be kept wet during stripping process. Rines floor throughly, and polish and buff as for a new floor. Sealers can be used if they are a part of a compatible system that can be readily removed when so desired.

Cautions

Oil, grease, sweeping compounds containing oil, or treated mops should never be used. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, or similar solvants to remove spots from rubber floors. Paste wax, paint, varnish, lacquer, shellac, or other solvent containing coatings should not be used on a rubber floor.

All recommendations for the use of these products are based on many years of experience. However, the use of these products is beyond the company's control, and Burke does not guarantee the results to be obtained nor accept any responsibilty for injury or damage that may result from their use.

Rouleau^® Maintenance

Initial Cleaning

Rouleau^® tile has a special protective coating which acts as a protective layer against the dirt during construction and that must be removed before floor is used. To remove coating, sweep or vacuum the floor. Apply diluted Taski "Profi" (10 to1) to area. Let solution act for 15 to 20 minutes ( do not allow solution to dry). Scrub area with a single disc machine and a soft synthetic brush. Pick (wet vacuum) residue up and rinse with clear water. Allow floor to dry, and polish with single disc machine and soft synthetic or natural brush.

Normal maintenance

After initial cleaning, Rouleau^® tile can be maintained by simply sweeping or vacuuming the floor and spot cleaning with "Profi".

Occasional dry polishing with a single disc machine and a soft synthetic or natural brush will restore the tile's natural luster.
