If your floor has been maintained regularly with the correct floor care system then sweeping/vacuuming followed by light mopping is all you need to maintain your floor. Floor Care System 3 is perfectly designed with lacquered finished white toned floors in mind. White Easy Care used with a damp microfibre mop will ensure your floor is cleaned with a product that is gentle on your floor. Your floor should be cleaned by diluting a cap full of White Easy Clean in a bucket of hot water, then use a mop and bucket to clean the floor. Make sure you squeeze as much water as possible out of the mop before using it on the floor. To get off to the very best start, apply a neat coat of Floor Care White Polish before you start to use your floor. This polish is available in both a matt and gloss sheen level, it gives your floor added protection and it also adds a lovely lustre.

If your floor is looking tired and needs a little extra care, we suggest using our White Intensive Polish. Firstly, deep clean your floor with Deep Clean Polish Remover and then apply 2 or more neat coats of Intensive White Polish. For the best results buff with a white pad on 17” buffing machine. Thereafter continue to maintain your floor with our White Easy Clean and Floor Care White Polish found in our Floor Care System 3.

Why use Ted Todd Floor Care Systems?

To ensure your floor’s longevity, we don’t recommend using any other branded cleaning products on your Ted Todd floor. Most branded floor cleaners are solvent or bleached based and will damage your floor, leading to discolouration.

As long as your floor is maintained regularly with the Ted Todd Floor Care Systems, there is no need for special treatment. The correct Ted Todd Floor Care System is sufficient for maintaining your floor.

If you are unsure as to which Floor Care System is right for your Ted Todd floor, please ask your Ted Todd Specification Consultant or official retailer, or talk to us directly on 01925 283 000.
