Vinyl floor cleaning and polishing

Vinyl floor cleaning covers commercial sheet vinyl, vinyl tile and LVT that has lost its even sheen or is holding a dirty finish. Offices, clinics and schools book it when mopping no longer restores the colour. Ask for a quote on the form or WhatsApp with photos of a worn patch and the square metres.

Yellowed polish, powdering finish, black scuff lines and a sticky feel underfoot mean the old coat should come off or be scrubbed back. A dull but intact LVT often needs a clean, not a new seal.

How it works

1. Look at the floor We check the surface, how soiled it is, and when the room can close, then price the visit from that.
2. Clean that surface A scrub, extraction or degrease matched to the floor. Dirty water is taken up, not pushed along with a mop.
3. Finish only if it belongs Polish or seal goes on vinyl and linoleum that need it. Safety floors, worn-through timber and peeling resin do not get a shine coat.

Why book this visit

The rooms that usually need vinyl floor cleaning and polishing.

Included, and what this visit is not

Finishes this page covers

• Neutral scrub for sound LVT
• Strip and reseal for worn sheet vinyl
• Spray clean for light scuffs between strips
• No-polish scrub where the manufacturer forbids finish

What the quote is based on

Quotes follow square metres, soil, access and whether we work while you are closed. A usual UK guide is about £1.50–£3.50 per m² for a machine scrub, £3–£6 per m² for a deep scrub, and £8–£15 per m² when a vinyl or linoleum floor needs strip and seal. Stone and heavy grease sit at the top of that range. Send the form or WhatsApp for a figure on your floor.

Prep

Move light furniture or book a time when the room is empty. Tell us the product name if the floor is a named LVT.

Aftercare

New polish needs the cure window on the quote, often overnight, before desks and wet shoes return. Daily care is a neutral detergent. High-alkaline degreasers strip the finish early.

How long it lasts

A sound seal on a busy corridor often wants a scrub and recoat within 12 to 18 months. Heavy entrances fail sooner. The maintenance plan page is the way to stop a full strip every year.

DIY versus a machine

A steam mop can soften adhesive at the joints. Household polish builds a slip film that then has to be stripped.

Wrong job

This is not safety-floor cleaning and not wood sanding. If the floor is textured to resist slips, see the safety floor page. Bare or unsealed timber is a sanding trade, which we do not do.
