Vinyl: the choice for hygiene

Ultra-resistant and easy to maintain, vinyl is the most suitable product to meet drastic demands in terms of building hygiene. Our vinyl floor coverings are very resistant to all types of disinfection protocols:

chemical disinfectants
high temperatures of steam disinfection
ultraviolet light from UV disinfection
ozone and hydrogen from gas disinfections
mechanical cleaning action

Do you have any doubts about the maintenance of your flooring? See our recommendations: if the dilution ratio is not adhered to, you risk damaging your floor coverings (yellowing, staining, etc.).

Our cleaning advice

Depending on your hygiene demands and requirements, several protocols can replace detergents. If the use of detergents is flexible, inexpensive and suitable for busy environments and open spaces, alternative solutions prevent the use of chemicals:

steam disinfection, based on water temperature and pressure, ecological and economical but with fluctuating results and not suitable for large areas
UV disinfection, destruction of microorganisms using ultraviolet lamps, used in particular for treadmills and worktops, suitable for unoccupied rooms, without hidden areas, and requiring personal protective equipment to be worn
ozone disinfection, transformation of oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3) using a generator, practiced in particular in food industries, buses and gyms, making it possible to disinfect closed, sealed and unoccupied rooms (ozone is a health hazard)
hydrogen peroxide disinfection (H202), used in particular for laboratory cleanrooms, suitable for small areas that are closed, sealed and unoccupied, in a controlled environment (T°C/RH), an effective but costly and corrosive solution for surfaces

If cleaning removes residues and dirt, disinfection is required to deal with viruses that can survive from hours to days on a neutral surface. This disinfection is more or less difficult depending on the type of microorganism to be eliminated.
