Note: The following procedure is to be used either for initial cleaning and periodical cleaning.

1. Mondo Advance requires periodical maintenance, the frequency of which will depend on the volume of foot traffic.
2. The adoption of a regular program, following the procedures outlined below will ensure a more than adequate appearance level while obtaining the maximum use of the flooring.
3. It is recommended that once the floor is installed, the finished floor should be swept clean of all debris and that the initial wash is done approximately 48 hours after completion of the installation.
4. To avoid possible damage to the flooring, precautions should be taken in order to ensure that the following products and equipment are never used to maintain it. They are:
   1. STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE BRUSHES.
   2. ABRASIVE OR VERY ALCALINE CLEANERS.
   3. SOLVENTS OF ANY TYPE
5. The frequency that one must clean the flooring will depend on the intensity of foot traffic, and the type of installation involved and the size of the area covered.
6. Do not try to clean more than 600 square feet at a time.
7. The use of a detergent is necessary to clean Mondo’s flooring. Note: This detergent must be of a mild non-phosphate type with a neutral pH (Taski Profi from Diversey-Lever or Citrus Solv from Ecolab are the recommended cleaning product). The procedure and equipment to be used will be as follows:
   1. Prior to washing, vacuum all debris and loose dirt from the floor.
   2. Then, dilute the detergent in warm water at a ratio recommended by the manufacturer; apply the solution on the floor. Allow the solution to stand on the surface for approximately 10 minutes. Apply enough solution so it will not dry during that period of time.
   3. If the floor is very dirty, the detergent ratio should be increased and let the solution stand for 15 minutes to allow the detergent to loosen the dirt.
      
   4. After the 10 minutes waiting period, scrub the area with an auto-scrubber equipped with red pads. Scrub the area thoroughly in multiple directions. During the scrubbing do not vacuum the solution.
   5. Once the area has been scrubbed thoroughly, pass over the washed area and vacuum up the solution.
   6. Rinse the area entirely with clean fresh water. Repeat rinsing as required to remove all residues. Note: The appearance of a white film following washing and rinsing is an indication that the rinsing procedure was not adequate, in such cases, repeat the rinsing procedure until all residue has been removed.

YEARLY MAINTENANCE:

Approximately once a year the sport surface should be cleaned following the above procedure but using a higher pH detergent (Taski Linostrip is the recommended product). This will allow the remove the build-up of paraffin (waxes) on the surface of the material.
