PUR
General
Using
a
dirty
floor
covering
leads
to
higher
wear
and
possibly
discolouration.
Dirt,
particularly
gritty
particles,
intensifies
the
rubbing
action
on
the
floor
surface.
Consequently,
all
floor
coverings
should
be
cleaned
and
treated
with
a
floor
care
product
for
hygienic
and
aesthetic
reasons
and
to
preserve
their
value.
SCALA
Connect
PUR
plastic
floor
coverings
with
a
factory-applied
protective
and
preservative
polyurethane
coating
require
little
care
and
main-
tenance.
These
surface
protection
systems
are
designed
to
make
cleaning
easier.
In
the
case
of
SCALA
Connect
PUR
,
only
a
well
wrung-out,
moistened
cloth
may
be
used
for
cleaning
.
Important:
avoid
an
accumulation
of
water
in
the
area
of
joints.
Aggressive
cleaning
products
such
as
scouring
agents
or
strong
solvents
should
not
be
used
as
these
can
destroy
the
floor
coating.
1
Initial
cleaning/
cleaning
after
construction
work
has
finished
After
the
floor
covering
has
been
laid,
all
dirt
must
be
removed
before
initial
use.
Loose
dirt
and
particles
can
be
removed
by
vacuuming.
In
the
case
of
minor
soiling,
the
floor
coating
can
be
wiped
clean
using
an
alcohol
cleaner/PH
neutral
cleaner
(in
accordance
with
the
manufac-
turer's
instructions).
In
the
case
of
more
exten-
sive
soiling,
a
basic
cleaner
can
be
added
to
the
washing
water
in
accordance
with
the
manufac-
turer's
instructions.
After
wiping
down
with
a
towel
or
floor
cloth,
or
scrubbing
with
a
brush,
the
loosened
dirt
should
be
removed
immedi-
ately
and
the
surface
wiped
with
clean
water
until
all
traces
of
the
cleaning
agent
have
been
re-
moved.
Allow
the
floor
to
dry
completely.
2
Care
treatment
The
SCALA
Connect
PUR
floor
covering
with
polyurethane
coating
does
not
require
further
care
treatment
after
initial
cleaning/cleaning
after
completion
of
the
construction
work.
However,
SCALA
Connect
PUR
can
be
treated
with
a
floor
care
product
if
this
is
required
either
in
the
short
or
long
term.
After
basic
cleaning,
two
surface
treatment
coatings
should
be
applied
to
the
surface
of
the
dry
floor
covering
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
3
Regular
cleaning
When
the
degree
of
soiling
permits,
dry
cleaning
procedures
are
to
be
preferred.
A
mop
head
covered
with
an
impregnated
fleece
cloth
should
be
used
to
clean
the
floor
covering
with-
out
water.
Alternatively,
loose
dirt
can
be
removed
using
a
vacuum
cleaner.
When
wet
mopping
SCALA
Connect
PUR
floor
coverings
with
polyurethane
coating,
an
alcohol
cleaner
or
PH
neutral
cleaner
should
be
used
according
to
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
If
the
floor
covering
has
been
treated
with
a
floor
care
product,
a
compatible
cleaning
product
should
be
used.
The
floor
covering
should
only
be
cleaned
using
a
well
wrung-out,
lightly
moistened
towel
or
floor
cloth.

Basic
cleaning
Basic
cleaning
may
be
required
after
a
longer
period
depending
on
intensity
of
use.
This
pro-
cedure
removes
stubborn
stains
and
old
coat-
ings
of
floor
care
product.
The
basic
cleaner
should
be
mixed
with
clean
water
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
instructions
and
applied
to
the
floor
covering
in
small
quantities
(
e.g.
using
a
spray
bottle),
briefly
left
to
soak
in
and
then
scrubbed
by
hand
(using
a
green
scrubbing
pad)
or
by
machine
using
a
suitable
green
3M
cleaning
pad.
Next,
the
loosened
dirt
must
be
wiped
up
immediately
and
completely
with
an
absorbent
towel/floor
cloth
or
using
a
wet
vacuum
cleaner.
Having
done
so,
clean
water
and
a
slightly
moist
cloth
must
be
used
to
wipe
the
floor
clean
until
all
traces
of
the
cleaning
agent
have
been
removed
from
the
floor
covering.
The
floor
covering
must
then
be
allowed
to
dry
completely,
preferably
during
the
night.
After
basic
cleaning,
the
floor
must
be
treated
with
a
floor
care
product.
