At Cleaning Solutions North East, we specialise in restoring Karndean and Amtico luxury vinyl tile (LVT) to its best: clean, even, and beautifully protected. Daily use leaves micro-scuffs, ingrained soil and dulling dressings on the surface layer; our professional strip-clean-seal process resets the finish the right way—safely, thoroughly, and in line with the manufacturers’ own care systems. We work to the published guidance from Karndean and Amtico: we strip worn dressings with approved removers, deep-clean the wear layer, then apply fresh protective coats to revive clarity, colour and sheen while helping to disguise light scratches and blemishes. 

Your floor is assessed first for tile type, traffic pattern and existing coatings. We then strip using products designed for these floors (e.g., Karndean Remove or Amtico Floorcare Stripper) with controlled dwell, agitation and full rinsing—removing ingrained dirt and tired polish without harming the wear layer. Once neutralised and dry, we dress/refresh the surface with thin, even coats (e.g., Karndean Refresh or Amtico Floorcare Dressing) for a uniform film that restores lustre and adds sacrificial protection; applied correctly, two coats with ventilation and appropriate dry times give the best, streak-free result. 

Why insist on a professional system? Both brands explicitly recommend their own maintenance ranges for periodic restoration, typically once or twice per year in busy spaces. Using pH-neutral cleaners day-to-day and the manufacturer remover/dressing for periodic resets maintains appearance and durability; harsh household chemicals (bleach/ammonia) or waxy oils risk residue, discolouration and poor adhesion of future dressings. Our process follows that playbook, then goes further with commercial tools (rotary/oscillating agitation, wet pick-up, forced-air drying) to ensure even stripping, clean rinses and predictable cure times—results that DIY mops simply can’t reproduce consistently. 

Across the North East—homes, showrooms, offices and hospitality—we deliver the same disciplined finish: a floor that looks crisper, feels cleaner underfoot, and is easier to maintain. Independent specialists across the UK use the same “strip, deep clean and re-dress” method for Karndean and Amtico because it works; we bring that best practice to your property with local service, clear communication and meticulous aftercare advice. 

Notes: Deep gouges can’t be “cleaned out,” but the new dressing reduces the visibility of fine swirls and light scratches and provides a sacrificial layer you refresh in future, rather than wearing the floor itself — exactly as the manufacturers intend.

At Cleaning Solutions North East, we’ve built our reputation as one of the North East’s leading specialists in luxury vinyl tile care. Karndean and Amtico are premium flooring investments—renowned for their beauty, durability, and versatility—and we treat them with the expertise, respect, and precision they deserve.

Unmatched Knowledge & Experience

With over 20 years in professional floor care, we understand the science behind LVT cleaning and restoration. Our technicians are fully trained in manufacturer-approved methods, including the correct use of Karndean Remove & Refresh and Amtico Floorcare Stripper & Dressing systems. This means we don’t just clean—we restore in a way that aligns with the brand’s own guidelines, protecting warranties and safeguarding your investment.

Professional Methods & Advanced Equipment

Our process goes far beyond a surface wipe. We carry out a full strip, deep clean, and seal, using commercial-grade machinery to lift ingrained dirt, remove worn finishes, and prepare the floor properly for redressing. Once cleaned and neutralised, we apply multiple thin coats of professional dressing to restore clarity, even out the appearance, and create a sacrificial layer that protects against scuffs and everyday wear. The result? A smooth, lustrous finish that hides minor scratches and enhances the natural beauty of your floor.

Longevity & Protection

Karndean and Amtico floors are designed to last decades—but only if maintained correctly. Our restoration service extends their lifespan significantly, reducing the need for costly replacement or premature refurbishment. By applying a protective dressing, we ensure future cleaning is easier, day-to-day maintenance is more effective, and your floor continues to look newer for longer.

Aesthetic Excellence

Floors are one of the first things people notice when they walk into a space. Dull, scratched tiles can make an entire room feel tired, while a freshly restored finish transforms the atmosphere. Our work doesn’t just improve hygiene—it enhances the overall aesthetic of your home, office, or showroom, bringing back that high-end look and feel that made you choose Karndean or Amtico in the first place.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Unlike costly replacements or the inflated maintenance packages often offered by retail stores, we provide honest, transparent pricing without compromise on quality. You receive the same professional-grade restoration and protective treatments, but at a fraction of the cost of a new floor installation—or the mark-ups charged by high-street retailers for “sofa guard”-style add-ons.

Trusted, Professional, and Best in the Business

We take pride in being known as one of the most trusted and reliable floor cleaning and restoration companies in the North East. Our approach is rooted in professionalism—clear communication, punctual service, full health and safety compliance, and results that speak for themselves. We’re so confident in our work that we back it with a satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not 100% happy, we’ll make it right or refund you in full.

At Cleaning Solutions North East, we know cost is always a factor when deciding how best to care for your flooring. But when it comes to premium brands like Karndean and Amtico, replacement can run into thousands of pounds and cause weeks of disruption in your home or business. Our deep cleaning and restoration service offers a far more cost-effective solution, delivering floors that look and feel like new — without the stress, downtime, or hefty price tag of replacement.

Why Restoration is Smarter than Replacement

Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) like Karndean and Amtico are designed to last for decades. Yet daily wear — scuffs, scratches, ingrained dirt, and worn finishes — can leave them looking tired long before their structure has failed. Replacing an entire floor for cosmetic reasons is not only costly but also unnecessary. Our professional strip, clean, and reseal processrestores the surface, disguises minor scratches, and protects against future wear — breathing new life into your existing floor at a fraction of the cost.

Experience & Professional Methods

With over 20 years of experience in specialist floor care, we know exactly how to treat these premium products. Using manufacturer-approved methods and professional-grade products such as Karndean Remove & Refresh and Amtico Stripper & Dressing, we strip back dull, worn layers safely and apply fresh protective dressings that bring back clarity, colour, and sheen. Our knowledge ensures every job is done correctly, protecting your investment and extending the lifespan of your flooring.

Cost-Effectiveness & Value

Aesthetics & Lasting Impact

Floors are one of the largest visual features in any space — and dull, scratched tiles can bring down the look of an entire room.
