Floor Hard Surface Cleaners

Hard surface cleaners, as their name implies, are used to wipe out dust, dirt, liquid residues, and stain marks from hard surfaces. These devices can be used to clean brick walls, marble, tiled, vinyl, concrete floors, tile, and most hard surfaces you can think of. In the past, commercial and industrial users have opted for water-consuming floor scrubbers. However, this has all changed with Daimer®’s XTreme Power® HSC series of hard surface cleaners, like the XTreme Power® HSC 13000, that clean effectively and efficiently with one-third the amount of water.

This device has many unique features. The most important one is the pressure generated by its cleaning head. It can generate a maximum pressure of 1500 psi. This is remarkable at a time when most of the other hard surface cleaners struggle to reach even a maximum pressure of 1000 psi. At the same point, the unique motorized spinner head ensures that the high pressure levels are maintained by containing the water flow.

The low water consumption is a major feature of this machine. At a rough estimate, it utilizes only about one-third of water than other brands do. This is one of the few hard surface cleaners that can be used for cleaning virtually all hard surfaces: limestone tile, concrete, travertine tile, linoleum, vinyl flooring, stone, marble, rubber floors, grout, tile VCT, even irregular surfaces and more.

Vinyl - Care and Maintenance

With the easy maintenance of a resilient floor, there is no cause for concern when
it comes to spots, spills, or scuffs left by shoes. By observing a few precautions,
and with proper care and maintenance, you can ensure that your vinyl floor
always looks its best.

The adhesive under your floor needs time to thoroughly dry after installation.
Therefore, we recommend that you do not scrub or wash your floor for at least
three days after it is installed.

For general cleaning, sweep your floor regularly (at least once a week) and be
sure to wipe up spills promptly. Occasional mopping with the manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning solution may be needed when dirt builds up and
sweeping alone is not sufficient. Please note that soap or detergent products
are not recommended for resilient floors as they will leave a dulling film on the
surface. The Flex Floor products, however, can be cleaned with a damp mop
and mild detergent or soap.

Caution: Vinyl floors can be slippery when they become wet. Use extreme
caution when walking on a wet floor. Use doormats outside each entrance
to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil,
asphalt, and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use
non-staining mats on your floor. Do not put rubber-backed, latex-backed, or
coco fiber mats on your floor because they may stain or damage the surface.

Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sunlight hits the floor.
A combination of heat and sunlight causes most home furnishings,
including vinyl floors, to fade or discolor.

Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors.
Ideally, the protectors should be at least 1” in diameter, made of
non-pigmented hard plastic, and rest flat on the floor.

Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable. Casters with a minimum
3/4” flat surface width or greater are recommended for all moveable
furniture. Make sure any floor protectors made of metal are rustproof.
Replace your narrow dome furniture rests with wide-bearing ones.

Cleaning Stains and Other Problems
The overall stain resistance of vinyl is excellent and most spills will wipe off
quickly and easily with a clean white cloth. Removing certain substances may
take a little extra effort. Always use a clean, white cloth for wiping up stains,
and turn it frequently to avoid spreading the stain. Rinse with clean water and
allow area to dry. Repeat if necessary.


Make sure you check your warranty before attempting to clean.
