7. Rules and useful tips
Introduction:
Let's start by saying that the success of a floor depends largely on the substrate, the correct application method, and the mixing and installation phases. However, proper cleaning and proper maintenance are the responsibility of those who live with seamless surfaces. The more cared for, the longer the floor will last.
Advantages of Cemento 3D flooring:
The floor is available in a wide variety of colors and textures, can be matte or satin, smooth or rough, and is highly resistant to wear, trampling, and impacts. Furthermore, it holds up well in humid environments, has good fireproof properties, thus preventing the spread of flames, is highly resistant to chemicals, the surface is hygienic because it has no joints, and, finally, is easy to clean and maintain.
Disadvantages of Cemento 3D flooring:
The floor is very durable, but not as durable as a ceramic or stoneware floor. It can be repaired rather than replaced entirely if the damage affects a very small area, and this is also a good thing, but in any case, it must be applied by qualified professionals. It is not suitable for DIY.
Using the Cemento 3D floor:
In the first week after applying the complete cycle, it is very important not to clean the floor under any circumstances. Do not spill any liquid on the floor that could alter the color, lighten, or even bleach it. Therefore, avoid walking on the floor at all costs, as it has not yet reached its maximum hardness and chemical resistance.
Cleaning the Cemento 3D floor:
Start cleaning the floor by removing dust and dirt using a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner to gently sweep the surface. Be sure to cover the entire floor area, including hard-to-reach areas like corners. Mopping the floor without sweeping away dust and dirt can damage the surface layer over time, leaving it looking dirty even after thoroughly mopping.
Helpful tips for cleaning Cemento 3D flooring:
Prepare a solution of warm water and neutral soap, following the manufacturer's instructions. Using a microfiber cloth, thoroughly clean the entire surface. Be sure not to overdo the detergent, as excessive amounts could leave residue on the floor. Neutral products are the best choice for interiors and home environments; they are simple, economical, and extremely effective.
Helpful tips for treating Cemento 3D flooring:
Use a doormat outside the door. Use non-absorbent mats under the sink and washbasin. Use cotton or natural fiber mats; those made of rubber or synthetic fibers may release oil and stain the surface. Place shock-absorbent felt pads under the legs of chairs, tables, desks, and furniture. Use silicone rubber casters for office chairs. Clean up spilled liquids immediately; if left to settle, they could damage the floor's surface protection.
Take extreme care not to spill anything on the surface, including substances such as oils, perfumes, creams, grease, stucco, mortar, and paint, which could permanently damage the floor. Do not leave damp cloths on the floor. Never use abrasive or aggressive products such as wire brushes, sandpaper, hydrochloric acid, acetone, or ammonia, as their corrosive properties will damage the floor. Take extreme care when installing furniture (in any case, it is recommended to let the surface fully cure) and do not place objects on the floor. In fact, improperly curing the floor will result in unsightly stains, even after several days.
Do not drag any objects across the floor. Walk on the surface only with clean shoes. Avoid standing water and direct contact with moisture. Knowledge of the substrates and their suitability for the correct installation method and use of the products is the responsibility of the person performing the work. Proper treatment, maintenance, and cleaning of the surfaces is the customer's responsibility.
However, since we cannot intervene directly, the company assumes no responsibility for the conditions of the construction sites, the execution of the work, or the proper treatment, maintenance, and post-installation cleaning of the floors, as these are beyond our control. For any information, please contact our technical support team.
