Every effective floor care program should consist of 3 cleaning and maintenance phases: daily, periodic and restorative floor care. Daily floor care is cleaning and maintenance that should be done every day. Periodic floor care should be completed when the finish of your VCT flooring is experiencing a noticeable level of wear and tear. Restorative floor care is the last of the three phases and should be performed when your VCT flooring can no longer be revived with daily and periodic care.
