Karndean or Amtico flooring offers an attractive, hardwearing alternative to tile, stone and other hard floor types. Although these materials are relatively durable, manufacturers still recommend occasional maintenance to increase their lifespan.
TileMaster’s specialist team in Leamington Spa has years of experience servicing Karndean, Amtico and other LTV flooring for homes and businesses, combining professional know-how with the best equipment available on the market.
How to tell if your Karndean floors need cleaning or restoration
Weekly sweeping and dusting of the floor is obviously the bare minimum you should do to keep these surfaces clean, along with mopping. Semi-regular professional deep cleaning is also advised, but how frequently you should book professional cleaning for your vinyl floor depends on the amount of footfall it receives.
For example, a busy commercial premises will naturally require professional cleaning more frequently than most homes. Other factors such as pets might also increase the need for regular maintenance.
There are a number of signs of wear to look out for when arranging a professional deep clean of your Karndean floor. TileMaster Leamington Spa team can help diagnose and remedy the following common Karndean or LVT floor care problems:
- Has the floor become faded and lifeless?
- Have builders or tradesmen left the floor unclean?
- Does it only stay shiny very briefly after mopping?
- Has the surface become scratched and dirty, with marks which won’t buff out?
- Do you want to restore that wonderful, like-new finish?

FAQs
Scratches, scuff marks and damage on the floor can be removed if they are surface-level and in the dressing. Deeper scratches on the surface may require a more intensive process to use diamond pads to repair the scratch.
