A sparkling clean home often starts with the basics: the floor. But how do you make sure your floor stays matte, shows no stains and is easy to maintain? With the right cleaning routine and effective products from the James range, you can enjoy a beautifully matte result for longer, without any hassle. In this blog, you’ll read all about the best approach to cleaning, maintaining and protecting floors, furniture and interior textiles — especially for the quality-conscious consumer looking for reliability.
The power of a truly matte floor
A matte floor has a natural look, appears chic and feels pleasant underfoot. Still, it can be difficult to maintain that matte look, because the wrong cleaning method can quickly create a glossy film or dull patches. Dust, dirt and stains are the main culprits. Fortunately, the right products offer the solution.
Common challenges in floor care
- Buildup of (gloss) layers from the wrong cleaners
- Stubborn stains, such as red wine or grease
- Fast wear of the matte appearance
- Safety around pets and children
Step-by-step plan: Clean your floor effectively and keep it matte
Step 1: Clean with the right base cleaner
Always start with a clean slate. The James Base Cleaner removes grease, dirt and old care layers, which often secretly add shine. Use this product for periodic deep cleaning or if you’ve just installed a new floor.
Step 2: Apply matte protection
Want the truly matte effect? Then choose James Extra Matte. This care layer protects your floor structurally against outside influences, without becoming shiny. Thanks to the easy application, the result is immediately visible and noticeable.
Step 3: Weekly maintenance – quick, easy and streak-free
For daily cleaning, choose a product that leaves no shine, cleans without streaks and dries quickly. The James Vinyl & PVC Cleaner Clean & Fast Dry is ideal for this. It helps you maintain the matte look and freshness, without the risk of stains or streaks.
- Vacuum or sweep the floor first
- Use a damp, well-wrung mop
- Let it dry thoroughly after mopping
