Surface Textures

General Remarks nora® floor coverings have a natural luster and do not require any artificial coatings.

General Precautions

1. Always use “wet floor” signs and/or caution tape when performing any wet cleaning.

2. Refer to SDS for personal protective equipment requirements before using cleaning products.

3. The floor will be slippery when wet or contaminated with foreign materials. Promptly clean up spills and any foreign materials to maintain the flooring’s slip-resistant properties.

4. Never use grit brushes, or black, brown or 3M™ diamond cleaning pads.

5. Use a 3M™ #5100 (red), #5000 (light green) or #5300 (blue) cleaning pad (depending on the amount of soil) for all noraplan® surfaces (excluding noraplan lona), unless a different pad is specified in this guide.

6. To reduce dirt, debris and moisture coming into the facility, maintain walk-off mats at all exterior entry points.

7. Spots from petroleum-based products such as grease and tar must be removed with spotting agents containing solvents. Immediately rinse with water after spot removing and allow to dry.

8. Do not allow any metal furniture or trash cans to be in contact with the wet floor.

9. For areas with construction damage, please contact the nora® Technical Department.

10. Follow facility’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

11. For specific written cleaning protocols, please contact the nora Technical Department.

Post-Installation Maintenance

A general cleaning must be performed before the area is occupied. Wet adhesives must be allowed to cure for 72 hours post-installation. If nora® nTx or nora® dryfix 750 adhesives were used, the general cleaning can be performed immediately. If joints/seams are cold welded, flooring can be wet mopped after 8 hours, machine scrubbed after 24 hours and, if required, burnished after 72 hours.

1. Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove dirt or grit.

2. Wet mop the floor using a neutral cleaner solution diluted as per the manufacturer’s mixing instructions.
