The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

Daily Tiled Floor Mainteance With The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

Floor cleaning is essentially a balancing act. On one hand, you want a cleaning agent that is powerful enough to break down the dirt and grime that has been accumulating on the surface – but on the other hand, it needs to be gentle on the area being worked on. A cleaner whose chemical action of the grime makes the work a breeze, but one that won’t end up leaving behind residue that makes the surface dull.

When you factor in the frequency with which the floor needs to be cleaned, especially for establishments where this is a daily requirement, such as high traffic areas, then the costs incurred become even more sensitive – since you want a budget-friendly solution to your floor cleaning needs. The Faber Floor Cleaner stands out as a formulation that is geared to addressing this wide range of requirements.

Faber Chimica – the brand behind the product, has been in the floor care business for decades. It was founded in 1986, growing in leaps and bounds to become a renowned brand in building maintenance. Loads of funds have been pumped into its R&D division, churning out cleaning, maintenance and restoration products for a vast range of surfaces, especially with regards to natural stone and ceramic installations.

The track record of the business adds to its credibility, with the products it delivers being used by home and business owners alike, as well as professional floor care contractors. The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L we’re looking at here is one of its popular line of products, due to its broad applications in the daily care of surfaces. Here is a breakdown of why it matters, and how you can stand to get optimal value from it:

Benefits Of The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

• Easy to work with

Different aspects of the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L make daily maintenance a breeze. For starters, it comes ready to use. No need to mix it with other cleaning agents – it delivers the punch all with its own formulation. Next, it is a powerful cleaner, acting on the stubborn dirt ad grime that is riddling the different kinds of floor surfaces. Thirdly, unlike competing products, there are no wax elements in the cleaner, or other agents that could leave behind residues on the surface. Without any residue remaining on the floor after the cleaning, you get to wind up with a clean and elegant surface. In fact, using the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L at the recommended dilution ratios, you won’t need to rinse the surface after you’re done. All these contribute to reducing the amount of time and resources that go onto the daily floor care process.

• Versatile

With this pH-neutral detergent, you get to work on a wide range of surfaces. These include natural stone installations like marble and limestone, agglomerates like cement-marble, marble resin and quartz-resin, craquelé and glazed ceramics, all through to porcelain stoneware – whether it is lapped, polished, natural, or textured. The water-based Faber Floor Cleaner 1L is ideal for low-absorbent materials as well, and can be used for cleaning indoor and outdoor surfaces. It also delivers delicate cleaning action on the grout – which is key since you want to preserve the structural integrity of the installations being worked on.

You can work with different tools as well, depending on the size of the area being cleaned, and the equipment that you will find more convenient. This includes cloth and mops for the smaller spaces, machinery like wet & dry scrubbing units, to the single disc machines for the larger commercial areas. Here it will all come down to personal preference. In case there ever is an accidental spill of the Floor Cleaner 1L, use absorbent materials like a paper towel, or even sawdust to soak up the product.

• Fragranced cleaner

In addition to getting rid of the dirt that is an eyesore, the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L also leaves behind a pleasant scent. This serves to provide an all-rounded effect, restoring the beauty of the space through the cleaning action, and enhancing the ambience due to the fragranced nature of the formulation.

• Quick cleaning

Here is a walkthrough of the step carried out when working with the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L:

1. Start by clearing away the loose dirt and debris on the surface- like the dust and coarse soiling that had been tracked into the premises. You can simply sweep the particulate matter away with a broom, or vacuum the surface. This is to allow the Faber Floor Cleaner to focus on the dirt that has adhered to the surface.

2. Dilute the cleaner. It comes concentrated, and you’ll need to mix it with water depending on the type of surface you’re working on:

• Low absorbent floors: 1 capful of product with 5L of clean water

• Natural stone and cotto installations: 2-3 capsules of the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L mixed with 5L of water

Another benefit of the product shows up here – given the concentrated nature of the formulation, each litre of product gets to be used on a wide surface area. This ranges between 900/1100m² of surface for every litre.

3. Proceed to wash the floor. The conventional methods can be used i.e., mopping or working with floor scrubbing machines.

As long as the recommended dilution ratios are used, you won’t need to rinse the floor. Note that if you use the Floor Cleaner 1L when it is very concentrated, then this will bring about the risk of build-ups on the floor.

4. Allow the surface to dry.

The equipment used for the floor cleaning can be washed with water after you’re done.

• No residue

This is all geared to making the floor maintenance task smooth. After all, residue that would remain on the floor would call for another round of cleaning much sooner than had been anticipated. With proper usage of the Floor Cleaner 1L not leaving behind any build up, the surface that has been worked on gets to remain cleaner for longer.

Daily Maintenance With The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

Caring for floors is a daily endeavour. Dirt and grime accumulate around the clock. There are particles that are tracked into the building under people’s shoes, the dust that settles on the surface from the air space, pets leaving behind their fur and dander, the occasional spills from foods and drinks – grime comes from all sorts of sources. Keeping the floor in good condition is necessary for the health and hygiene of those in the premises.

After all, you don’t want your family members at home, or the employees and customers in your workplace, being exposed to harmful agents. The dirt accumulating on the floor also threatens its structural integrity, since it contributes to the wearing down of the surface. Patches of soiling and stains that remain unattended to for long causes there to be issues like discoluorations, which affect the rest of the décor of the premises. Getting rid of the gunk that keeps building up requires the use of strong cleaning agents – and you can get that with the Faber Floor Cleaner.

When looking for formulations to carry out frequent cleaning measures, the economics of it all matters. Costs can quickly spiral out of control if you work with low-capacity agents, or formulations whose pricing is not in line with the daily building maintenance needs. As such, the strength of the cleaner, coupled with the cost, is key.

Another consideration that needs to be made is the compatibility of the cleaner with the underlying floor that is being worked on. Here, you want formulations that will deliver their cleaning action without the risk of corroding the floor, or causing other kinds of damage to the structure. The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L comes in to give you value for your money. Here is a look at what you can expect from it.

Quality Care With The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

• Thorough cleaning action

Given that dirt and grime accumulate on a daily basis, you want a formulation that will enable you to meet the cleaning needs of the premises. One that will readily break down the dirt and stains spots, restoring the elegance to the surface – and you can get that with the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L. The formulation has been developed to be tough on dirt, making daily floor care a breeze.

• Neutral, water-based formulation

When it comes to floor care, you can’t just go sloshing any chemical on the surface and scrubbing it down. The kind of material being worked on needs to be put in consideration, otherwise you run the risk of ruining the floor. For instance, common DIY formulations – the likes of whipping up some vinegar with water, lemon-based solutions and even ammonia, can wreak havoc on natural stone floors. For tiled installations one also needs to factor in the grout itself, since this can easily get ruined when the wrong products are used.

The neutral pH of the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L makes it safe for working on a wide range of surfaces. The water-based cleaner can be used on natural stone installations like marble and limestone structures, ceramics – including craquelé and glazed variations, to the wide range of porcelain stoneware, whether it is polished, natural, or textured. The versatility of the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L is also why it is a widely used formulation when dealing with outdoor and indoor installations alike. You also won’t have to worry about it harming the delicate grout – allowing you to deliver a thorough clean even on such structures.

• Restoring the vibrance to the space

Clean spaces are as about aesthetics as they are about hygiene and ambience. Dirt and grime causes odours to build up in the indoor air space, making the occupants of the building uncomfortable. Getting rid of the source of the odours is one step – and the Faber Floor Cleaner goes beyond this to also leave a pleasant fragrance in its wake. This brings a fresh look and feel to the areas that have been worked on – and since it is used for the daily cleaning, you can be able to live and work in a hospitable environment that encourages productivity in the workplace, and rest and relaxation at home.

How To Use The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L

• Floor Preparation

The first step is dealing with the loose dirt strewn all over the surface. This is to prevent the dry dirt and debris from getting damp and sticking to the floor during the cleaning that is to follow, since this would only serve to increase your workload. If you’re using machinery like autoscrubbers, you also don’t want the nuisance that comes with extra sand and hair particles. Sweep or vacuum the floor.

• Dilution

The Faber Floor Cleaner 1L is a highly concentrated product. This gives you plenty of usage with each unit you purchase, as the formulation has an impressive 900 – 1100m² per litre coverage rate. Before you set out to clean the floor you will need to dilute the product. This will depend on the kind of surface in question. For natural stone or cotto floors, mix 2-3 capfuls of the Faber Floor Cleaner with 5 litres of water. On the other hand, if you’re dealing with less absorbent surfaces, then 1 capful of product per 5 L of water will suffice.

If you’re uncertain about the suitability of the Faber Floor Cleaner for working on your particular installation, then it is recommended that you carry out a spot test on an inconspicuous section of the floor before proceeding.

• Application

Wash the floor surface with the usual methods, i.e., you can use a cloth for small areas, work with a mop, or even use larger wet/dry machines and single disc units. This will depend on your particular situation.

When you use the recommended dilution ratios for working with the Faber Floor Cleaner 1L, then you won’t need to rinse the surface. Note that if you use the formulation when it is too concentrated, then there is a likelihood of leaving behind residue on the floor.

The equipment that you have used for the process can be washed with water. The floor is opened up to normal traffic after the surface dries.
