Cleaning & care for surfaces with Live Matt Plus lacquer
Live Matt Plus is a surface treatment that provides high resistance and a lower level of gloss. It can also be used on brushed and bevelled surfaces, enhancing the authentic look of the f loor and strengthening its gentle matt effect.
Cleaning
Daily cleaning is best carried out dry with a broom or vacuum cleaner. To mop your floor, use the Cleaner (add 25 ml per 5 litres of water) and wipe the floor damp. If there is severe soiling, increase the amount you add (50 ml per 5 litres of water).
Deep cleaning can remove serious, stubborn stains like grease or heel marks. We recommend the Deep Clean Solution for this. After cleaning, treat your parquet with the Polish Live Pure™ & Live Matt Plus.
Care
We recommend the Polish Live Pure™ & Live Matt Plus for regular care of matt-lacquered parquet and wooden floors. This freshens the old lacquer, protecting it and providing a surface that repels dirt.
Before using it, your floor should be clean and free of polish, wax and dirt. Apply a thin, even layer of the Polish Live Pure™ & Live Matt Plus with a sponge or cloth. Let the surface dry well before placing furniture, carpets, and other objects back onto the floor.
How often should I perform this treatment?
For moderately-used floors, e.g. in bedrooms and living rooms: once a year.
For floors with moderate to heavy use, e.g. in hallways or office spaces with public traffic: twice a year, depending on the intensity of use.
Intensive cleaning and spot removal
Our Cleaner, or a non-abrasive household cleaning agent, is the best solution for removing stubborn stains (wine, fruits, berries, juice, cream, soft drinks, beer, coffee, tea).
Shoe polish, sole rubber, tar, asphalt, oil, grease or chocolate stains can be removed using cleaning benzine (in small quantities, approx. 0.02 cl).
Pen, printing and other ink, as well as lipstick, can be removed using alcohol (in small quantities, approx. 0.02 cl).
The easiest way to remove blood stains is by using cold water.
Important note
For sealed hardwood floors: when you see clear signs of wear and tear on hardwood floors under heavy use, we recommend that they are sanded and resealed in order to preserve the intact surface over the long term.
