Cleanability

Flotex is easy to clean and maintain

Cleaning and maintaining a Flotex floor is much easier than you would think. The straight nylon fibres capture fine dust and allergens, but these are easily released when vacuumed. Actually, vacuuming removes double the allergens on a Flotex floor compared to conventional carpet flooring.

Flotex releases up to 76% of original soil after vacuuming compared to 46% for loop pile carpet

Flotex releases up to 97% of original soil after spray extraction cleaning compared to 64% for loop pile carpet

The dense, upright pile of Flotex completely dries after wet extraction in 4 to 6 hours versus up to 24 hours for loop pile carpet

Allergy approved

Allergy approved floor covering

Flotex has a unique construction that captures allergens and fine dust from the air and is easy to clean. It is even a better textile solution for allergens than hypoallergenic carpet floors.

Vacuuming a Flotex flooring removes double the allergens compared to conventional carpet floors.
This is one of the reasons why Forbo's Flotex flocked flooring is the first textile floor covering to be awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™.

Research suggests that there are 5.7 million people who could be allergic to their place of work. Read our Work Fever Report, compiled in conjunction with Allergy UK, and find out how Flotex can help create better indoor environments.
