Product Information

Full details

Karndean Remove is an essential deep-cleaning solution specifically formulated for homeowners with luxury vinyl flooring who need to strip away stubborn, built-up grime and aged layers of protective polish. This powerful alkaline-based cleaner serves as the critical preparatory stage in the Karndean floor care system, ensuring your floors are perfectly clean before applying a fresh coat of Karndean Refresh. While highly effective at restoring floor vitality, it is a potent chemical treatment that should be used sparingly for periodic deep cleaning rather than daily maintenance.

FAQs

How often should I use Karndean Remove?

It is recommended for periodic deep cleaning, typically every 6 to 12 months, depending on floor traffic and the rate of polish build-up.

Can I use this on non-Karndean vinyl floors?

While formulated for Karndean flooring, it is generally safe for most high-quality luxury vinyl flooring, but you should always spot-test in an inconspicuous area first.

Do I have to use Karndean Refresh after using this?

Yes, Karndean Remove strips away the old protective layer. You must apply a fresh coat of Karndean Refresh to provide the necessary protection for your floor's surface.

Is this safe for pets?

Once the floor has been thoroughly rinsed and has fully dried, it is safe for normal use. Ensure pets are kept off the floor during the cleaning and drying process.

Does it have a strong odor?

It has a chemical smell typical of floor strippers. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area by opening windows or doors during use.

Troubleshooting

The floor remains dull or streaky after application

This is likely due to remaining residue. Perform an additional rinse with clean water to ensure all alkaline cleaner is neutralized.

Polish is not lifting in heavy traffic areas

The polish may be extremely thick. Apply the diluted solution and let it sit for an extra 2-3 minutes, ensuring it stays wet, before scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning, ensure you have a clean mop and bucket, as well as a scrubbing pad or brush for tougher stains. Always dilute the product with clean water according to the instructions on the bottle label. This product is specifically designed for luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and should not be used on flooring types that are not compatible with alkaline cleaners, such as some natural wood or stone finishes. When finished with the stripping process, always store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Remember to rinse the floor twice with clean water after the removal process to prevent the new polish from peeling or becoming cloudy.
