Has your Vinyl Composition Tile Floor lost its shine? Ewing & Sons offers services for your VCT that remove the soiling, remove the scratches, and restore the luster.   In Preparation for Your V.C.T. Cleaning Please allow us to communicate a few important points that should prove very helpful.   CAUTION!Once we begin your V.C.T. Stripping or cleaning, we will apply special chemicals and solutions that can be VERY SLIPPERY. Please take special caution when walking near the work area. Also, the tools can pose   TRIP HAZARDS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.We recommend closing off the areas until the work is finished. While stripper is on the floor, for safety reasons no foot traffic will be permitted. It is also not recommended that additional projects be scheduled in the areas our crews will be working as the floors will be inaccessible.   DRYING TIME.The drying time for most V.C.T. finish is about 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application, the volume of air circulation, the temperature and the relative humidity in the room. You may wish to improve the drying time by setting the temperature to about 75° F and allowing us to control fans and air movers.   FURNITURE MARKS. We suggest that you not put your stock or furniture back until the last coat of finish is fully dry. Putting furniture back too early can create marks in the new finish.   RESOILING. After we leave, the finish may be damp. All foot traffic should be avoided until the drying is complete. V.C.T. finish will mar and re-soil easily while damp.   FREQUENCY. There is no set rule as to how often V.C.T. should be cleaned. Frequency of cleaning and maintenance varies due to the texture of the tile, the amount of foot traffic, the number of finishing coats, the frequency of sweeping and mopping, etc. V.C.T. should generally be cleaned as soon as imbedded soiling begins to appear or when the finish looks dull.   SCHEDULING.If you would like your V.C.T. maintained on a routine basis, you may call our office at 937-433-4362. The need for cleaning varies significantly between different customers based on traffic and facility conditions. Our staff will work with you to tailor a program to suit your specific needs.
