Floor Cleaner

Description

Statguard® Dissipative Neutral Floor
Cleaner is specifically formulated to
clean floors treated with Statguard®
Dissipative Floor Finish. Statguard®
Dissipative Neutral Floor Cleaner is
formulated with dissipative agents that
will rejuvenate and improve the static
dissipative properties of the Statguard®
Dissipative Floor Finish, as well as other
dissipative or conductive floor tiles and
polymer type floor finishes. Statguard®
Dissipative Neutral Floor Cleaner
effectively cleans without leaving
behind any harmful residue that can
dull the surface or impede dissipation
properties. This product is also
recommended for use on conductive
floor tile.

Application

Statguard® Dissipative Neutral Floor
Cleaner can be used on other floors
and finishes. It is ideal for cleaning
dissipative or conductive floor tiles as
well as Statguard® finish. The floor
cleaner is more agressive than a damp
mop (diluted finish and water or plain
water) and does take the gloss down
slightly as it cleans the surface. We
suggest you first try a small area for
compatibility.

Heavy to moderate traffic floors can be
cleaned once a week. Light traffic floors
can be cleaned 2 to 3 times a month or
as needed.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

• Push broom

• Clean and untreated mop

• Buckets

• Statguard® Dissipative Neutral Floor
Cleaner

1. Push broom the surface to be
cleaned.

2. For damp mop, dilute Statguard®
Dissipative Cleaner 10 to 1 (five (5)
gallons of clean water to two (2) quarts
of cleaner concentrate). For scrub use
15 to 1.

3. Thoroughly mix the cleaner solution
before damp mop application. Use a
clean, untreated mop to damp mop the
area. Wring out excess fluid and do not
flood a treated floor with water. For a
scrubbing machine use 175 to 350 RPM
with red pad.

4. Allow 30 to 60 minutes drying time
before walking on the cleaned area.

Clean floors treated with Statguard®
Floor Finish using Statguard® Cleaner.
Do not damp mop with high alkaline
or high residue cleaner. Using harsh
detergents can damage a treated floor’s
static dissipative properties.
