FAQs

Is this kit safe for all LVT floors?

Yes, this kit is specifically designed for all Karndean luxury vinyl flooring ranges.

Can I use a steam mop with these products?

It is generally recommended to avoid steam mops on LVT; use these chemical solutions with a standard mop for best results.

How often should I use Karndean Refresh?

Frequency depends on traffic; typically every 6 to 12 months for average households.

Do I need to rinse the floor after using the cleaner?

No, Karndean Clean is designed to be residue-free when diluted correctly.

What is the floor protector pack for?

These are adhesive-backed pads you apply to the bottom of furniture legs to prevent scratching the floor.

Are the pads reusable?

Yes, the pads can be rinsed and reused several times until they lose their abrasive or applicator properties.

Troubleshooting

Streaking after cleaning

Ensure you are using the correct dilution ratio; too much cleaning solution can leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt.

Floor remains dull after applying Refresh

The floor may have had deep-seated grime or old wax; ensure a thorough pass with Karndean Remove is completed before applying Refresh.

Difficulty removing stubborn spots

Allow the diluted Karndean Remove solution to sit on the spot for 2-3 minutes to loosen the debris before scrubbing with the included removal pad.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically formulated for Karndean LVT, preventing potential chemical damage.
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary pads and applicators for immediate use.
  • Restores original satin luster to worn or dull flooring surfaces.
  • Includes essential floor protectors to extend floor life against furniture wear.

Cons

  • Requires careful dilution according to instructions to ensure expected coverage.
  • Refresh treatment is not a permanent seal and requires reapplication over time.
  • Specific maintenance pads are required and may eventually need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The kit is universally compatible with all Karndean luxury vinyl ranges. Before beginning, ensure the floor is swept and free of grit. To prepare the solution, always dilute in a clean bucket according to the label instructions to prevent streaking. Store all bottles in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain chemical stability. The applicator and pads should be rinsed thoroughly with warm water after each use and allowed to air dry completely before storage to prevent bacterial growth or pad degradation.
