Cleaning & Maintenance Guideline
Indoor Rubber Flooring
Square Cut

Post Installation Cleaning

• When flooring installation is complete, and adhesive is fully cured:

  • Sweep floor to remove any debris, then dust mop thoroughly to remove all surface dust and dirt using a dust mop or microfiber mop.

  • Damp mop using DinoClean or a neutral PH cleaner diluted with warm water using a microfiber mop (see dilution rates on label).

  •  Use a two-bucket system and change the water frequently.
    ▪ Do not use any oil base cleaners as they will deteriorate the mats.

  •  If floor has been unprotected during construction and an excessive amount of dirt or dust is present additional cleaning with an auto scrubber may be required.
    ▪ An RPM of 185 and brush pressure between 35 and 85lbs are recommended.
    ▪ If disc type equipment is used, be sure to use a soft nylon brush, not a pad.

  • Do not flood floor.

  • Allow to dry thoroughly.

  • Apply a treatment of DinoCoat according to instruction provided by Dinoflex if desired.

General Maintenance

Sealed/Non-Sealed Floors

• Typically, Dinoflex Recycled Rubber Flooring requires less maintenance than other types of flooring.

  • Sweeping then damp mopping with a microfiber mop is the preferred method.

• Do not use a string mop

  • Use a two-bucket system with DinoClean or a neutral PH cleaner and change water frequently.

  • Products containing solvents and acids will attack the composite structure of the rubber flooring and cause deterioration.

  • Sealants, waxes, etc. can alter the surface characteristics and appearance.
    ▪ Dinofelx does not assume any responsibility for damages caused by chemical additives.

  • If a protective coating such as DinoClean is used, be sure to apply a coating after cleaning.

Floor Treatment

• Please note that treating recycled rubber is not required for all applications.
• Mats with a predominance of light-colored EPDM will be easier to clean and maintain if treatment is applied.
• Contact your Dinoflex Supplier for the correct choice in your application.
• For most installation, it is not necessary to seal or coat Dinoflex Recycled Rubber Mats.
• In certain installations, a treatment may be appropriate.
• DinoCoat is recommended to improve the visual effects of shade variation and uneven distribution of color granules.
• If DinoCoat is recommended for you installation, please follow the below application guide to reapply DinoCoat:
  • Preparation:
  • Ensure floor has been completely cleaned and free of any dust, dirt or debris.
  • Ensure floor is completely dry before applying DinoCoat
  • Isolate or close off area(s) that will have DinoCoat applied
  • Line mop bucket with garbage bag to eliminate DinoCoat from entering the bucket and eliminate the possibility of foreign substance or unwanted chemicals
  • Applying DinoCoat:
  • Pour DinoCoat into a bucket, using a roller or microfiber mop and slightly wringing it out so the mop is fully saturated but not dripping.
  • Apply a thin coat starting at the entrance way and outline the room along the baseboards, do a 180° turn back to the 3 rd wall and cover the rest of the area working back and forth. (See below image)
  • Set up all caution/wet floor signs to ensure there is no traffic on floor while DinoCoat is drying.
  • DinoCoat must be completely dry before applying subsequent coats (minimum 1 hour). Drying times will vary with temperature, humidity and ventilation.
  • When applying second coat, be sure to move in opposite direction from first coat.
