Forbo FloorCare method for Linoleum floors

Our linoleum floors are easy to clean and maintain thanks to their durable Topshield finish. The Forbo FloorCare system for linoleum supports two different methods, which are determinded by the availability of dedicated tools: the Spray method is the most effective and economical method and is performed by using a one-disk or rotary machine. For situations where a rotary machine is not available or practical, the manual Monel method can be applied.

The Spray method

In most situations the Spray-method is the best option. Spray-cleaning will keep the floor in optimal condition and inhibit the adhesion of dirt. The Spray-method provides a dry and hygienic environment.

The Monel method

The Monel method (or ‘soap film method’) is the best option when a rotary machine is not available or not practical. A water-soluble Monel film prevents stubborn dirt from adhering to the flooring surface. Monel provides a satin gloss and an improved slip resistance.
