FAQs

It has never been easier to clean and maintain Karndean Designflooring. We have developed an enhanced PU protective surface treatment, K-Guard+. Plus, unlike textile floor coverings and grout lines, Karndean flooring doesn’t trap dust and micro-organisms making it easy to clean and maintain. To assist with the care and maintenance, please refer to our cleaning and maintenance guide here.

We advise that you use Karndean Clean to clean the floor, as some cleaning products contain agents that can damage the floor.

The floor should have been fitted tightly to ensure spillages cannot seep through tile edges or custom cuts. To avoid slippery surfaces, any spills should be cleaned up straight away.

Most common stains will not affect a Karndean floor. However, there are agents that can stain such as solvent based liquids. The use of Karndean Refresh will provide some protection against this type of damage.

If surface scratching does appear, it is important to locate and address the cause of the problem. You can improve the appearance of light scratches by simply applying Karndean Remove, wiping off the residue with a mop and rinsing thoroughly with clean water. You can then re-apply Karndean Refresh. Take a look at our cleaning and maintenance guide for more information.
