If you are searching for a great alternative to stone, tile and other types of hard floor then Karndean and Amtico could be ideal for you. You’ll often find these floors in newer properties as they offer many of the aesthetic advantages of tile and stone but at a cheaper price point. Even though both of these floors are durable they will occasionally need a professional clean to ensure they remain shiny and mark free.
TileMaster Bath has years of experience cleaning Amtico, Karndean and other LVT floors. We are trained experts who use our knowledge and equipment to provide the ultimate service.

TileMaster Bath’s Karndean floor cleaning process:
We only use our own TileMaster branded floor cleaning machines and solutions, which enable us to achieve better results for our customers. Our Karndean floor technicians use an advanced cleaning process to make the floors look good as new. Our process is as follows:
- Step 1 – We start with an initial survey of the floor and discuss the options for the finish and shine of the floor e.g. mat/gloss etc.
- Step 2 – We prepare the room by removing any obstacles or floor coverings.
- Step 3 – We will use our low tack masking and protection tapes to protect all the surrounding surfaces without damage.
- Step 4 – We remove all dry soil and grit from the surface of the floor with a vacuum and sweep.
- Step 5 – We strip and wash away old sealer, previous treatments, or factory dressings.
- Step 6 – We use mechanical agitation and a power scrub with PH neutral floor cleaner to deep-clean the Karndean.
- Step 7 – The dirty solution is extracted with a fresh water rinse into our specialist vacuum tanks.
- Step 8 – We will dry and buff the floor to get rid of any remaining blemishes.
- Step 9 – A commercial-grade floor dressing completes the clean. This creates a protective barrier against future wear and tear. We offer matt, satin, or a high shine finish options on Karndean floors.
- Step 10 – After the clean, we offer a customer inspection to ensure happiness. We also offer advice for keeping the floor looking good as well as 6 months’ worth of cleaning solution for no extra charge.

FAQs
