How to Maintain a Porcelain Floor Sealed with Dr. Schutz PU Sealer
Porcelain floors sealed with Dr. Schutz PU Sealer are known for their extreme durability and long-lasting protection. Once applied, the PU Sealer creates a nearly indestructible surface that resists scratches, scuffs, and wear. But even the toughest floors need proper care — and this guide will show you exactly how to maintain your PU-sealed porcelain flooring with minimal effort.
Use Only PU Cleaner – Nothing Else
If your floor has been sealed with Dr. Schutz PU Sealer, the only cleaner you should be using is the PU Cleaner, available directly from Dr. Schutz UK.
Why? Because:
- It doesn’t leave a film that could make the floor dull over time.
- It’s formulated specifically for PU-sealed surfaces.
- It keeps your floor clean without compromising the finish.
Avoid using general-purpose floor cleaners, soaps, or anything that leaves a residue — these can dull the surface and attract dirt.
Step-by-Step Maintenance Instructions
Follow these simple steps regularly to keep your floor looking its best:
1. Dry Clean First
Remove all loose dirt and dust using a vacuum or soft-bristled broom. Never skip this step — mopping without dry cleaning first can lead to streaks and scratches.
2. Dilute PU Cleaner
Mix the PU Cleaner as directed on the label. Generally, a small amount in a bucket of warm water is enough.
3. Use a Flat Microfibre Mop for Best Results
For optimal cleaning, use a flat microfibre mop, such as the Dr. Schutz SprayMop. It’s designed specifically for PU-sealed floors and allows you to apply just the right amount of cleaning solution without overwetting the surface.
Avoid excessive moisture — too much water can seep into edges or grout lines and cause long-term issues. Aim to leave the floor visibly damp for 5 to 10 minutes in normal room conditions, then allow it to air dry without streaks.
4. Let It Air Dry
No need to rinse or buff. Just allow the floor to dry naturally.
Important Notes
- Do not attempt to strip the PU Sealer unless you’re a professional with the proper training and equipment — it’s extremely difficult to remove and shouldn’t need to be unless damaged.
- Do not use polish or wax — these can interfere with the PU coating and make future maintenance harder.
- Regular care is all it needs — if cleaned correctly, your PU-sealed porcelain floor will continue to look fantastic for years.
Summary: Best Practice for Porcelain Floor Maintenance
- Vacuum or sweep regularly
- Clean only with Dr. Schutz PU Cleaner
- Mop with a lightly damp mop (not wet)
- Avoid film-forming products and harsh chemicals
- Don’t try to strip or recoat unless absolutely necessary
By following this simple routine, you’ll protect your investment and keep your porcelain floor looking clean, vibrant, and professional for the long term — no special tricks required.
