About Us
Hampshire Hard Floor Care is a family-run business personally run by Richard and Michelle. We specialise in the cleaning, restoration, and protection of hard flooring across Hampshire, using a combination of professional training, advanced machinery, and industry-approved products.
From deep mechanical cleaning and machine-assisted honing to professional sealing and finishing systems, every stage of the process is carried out by us as the owners. We take the time to assess each floor properly, choose the correct pads, tools, and chemistry, and work methodically to achieve the best possible results.
Because all work is completed by us—not subcontractors—you get consistent quality, honest guidance, and a genuinely personal service. Our aim is always the same: restore your floors safely, beautifully, and with long-lasting protection.
Amtico, Marmoleum and Karndean floors require expert care to maintain their appearance, clarity, and long-term durability. Although these premium LVT floors are more resilient than natural stone, they can still suffer from dullness, surface scratches, embedded dirt, and wear if not cleaned correctly as do Marmoleum Floors. Using the wrong products or tools — especially harsh chemicals, steam, or abrasive pads — can damage the surface or break down protective coatings.
Bring Back the Natural Beauty of Your Karndean and Amtico Floors
Amtico and Karndean floors are highly durable, but their textured surfaces and protective wear layers can still trap dirt, grime, and residues over time. Without correct maintenance, this build-up can lead to dullness, patchy appearance, scuffing, and premature wear of the surface coating. While LVT is not porous like natural stone, it can still suffer long-term damage if inappropriate cleaning methods are used.
DIY cleaning often isn’t enough — and using the wrong products or techniques (such as steam mops, harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads) can break down the protective finish, cause lifting at the edges, or leave permanent surface damage.

Richard and Michelle at Hampshire Hard Floor Care specialise in cleaning, restoring, and protecting Amtico, Marmoleum and Karndean floors to keep them looking pristine.

Richard and Michelle understand the unique needs of Amtico, Karndean, and Marmoleum floors. With advanced equipment and specialist floor-care products, they can safely deep-clean and restore these surfaces while protecting their appearance, texture, and long-term durability. Issues such as dullness, scuffing, embedded dirt, and surface wear are common on these materials — more information can be found here.
Our cleaning method is safe for all types of luxury vinyl tile (LVT), flexible vinyl, and Marmoleum surfaces. We use specialist pH-balanced products and carefully controlled cleaning techniques that lift out dirt, residues, and traffic wear without damaging the protective wear layer or affecting the factory-applied surface treatment.
Unlike harsh chemicals, steam cleaning, or abrasive pads — which can break down coatings, cause whitening, or permanently dull the finish — our approach preserves the natural integrity and appearance of your floors. Each floor is individually assessed, allowing us to adjust our tools, brushes, pads, and cleaning solutions to suit the specific brand, style, construction, and level of soiling.

List of Services

Deep Cleaning of LVTItem Link List Item 1
At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, our Amtico, Karndean, and Marmoleum cleaning process is designed to deep-clean, refresh, and restore your floors safely — without causing damage to the wear layer, surface coating, or natural texture of the material. We begin by protecting surrounding areas, then remove all dry soil and loose debris to prevent abrasive scratching during wet cleaning.
Specialist pH-neutral or manufacturer-safe cleaning solutions are then applied and allowed to dwell. These products break down ingrained dirt, old residues, and embedded soils without softening the surface, affecting adhesives, or damaging the factory-applied coating. Using low-speed rotary or oscillating machines fitted with the appropriate pads or brushes for LVT and Marmoleum, we gently agitate the floor to lift out deep-set contamination while precisely controlling moisture levels to avoid saturation, edge-lifting, or surface whitening.
Once the floor is fully cleaned and dry, we can apply a professional protective dressing or finish (if required) to enhance durability, restore sheen, and improve resistance to scuffs and everyday wear. Finally, we complete the process with a soft buff to ensure an even, consistent appearance across the entire floor.
The result is a beautifully clean, refreshed Amtico, Karndean, or Marmoleum floor with improved clarity, enhanced colour, and a uniform finish — restored safely without compromising the long-term performance of the material.

Stripping & Redressing (Amtico, Karndean & Marmoleum)Item Link List Item 4
Over time, Amtico, Karndean, and Marmoleum floors can develop layers of old dressing, polish, or maintenance coatings that become dull, patchy, or uneven. When this happens, simple cleaning is no longer enough — the floor requires a full strip and redress to restore clarity, sheen, and uniform appearance.
Richard and Michelle use manufacturer-approved stripping products that safely remove old coatings without damaging the wear layer or affecting the floor’s structure. Once the surface is fully stripped, neutralised, and dried, we apply a fresh, high-quality dressing or protective finish to:
*Restore an even, consistent sheen
*Improve resistance to scuffs and daily wear
*Reduce future maintenance effort
*Enhance colour definition and overall appearance
Depending on your preference and floor type, we can apply matt, satin, or gloss protective dressings. Marmoleum may also receive specialist polish coats or high-speed burnishing to achieve a smooth, durable finish.
The result is a revitalised floor with enhanced clarity, improved protection, and a clean, refreshed look throughout.

Scratch & Scuff Reduction for Amtico, Karndean & MarmoleumItem Link
Over time, Amtico, Karndean, and Marmoleum floors can develop surface scuffs, fine scratches, and dull traffic paths — especially in busy areas such as kitchens, hallways, and commercial spaces. While these materials are highly durable, their protective wear layers and surface coatings can still show signs of everyday use. Richard and Michelle use specialist techniques and manufacturer-safe products to minimise and, in many cases, significantly improve the appearance of scratches and scuffs.
*We begin by identifying the type and depth of the marking:
*Light scuffs and surface haze from shoes or furniture
*Fine scratches caused by grit and high foot traffic
*Dull patches where the coating has worn more heavily
*Marmoleum micro-scratches caused by abrasive soils
Once assessed, we use a combination of controlled machine cleaning, micro-abrasive pads, and finishing agents to smooth and refine the surface without damaging the wear layer or affecting factory-applied treatments. For deeper marks, we can apply specialist restoration products designed to blend the affected area back into the surrounding floor.
If required, we finish with a protective dressing or polish to restore an even sheen, boost durability, and make future maintenance easier. On Marmoleum, additional care systems such as polish layers, conditioning treatments, or high-speed burnishing may be applied depending on the finish and environment. We can even fill holes sympatheticaly to mach the surrounding colours to blend in
The result is a cleaner, clearer, and more uniform-looking floor, with visible scuffs greatly reduced and fine scratches blended to improve overall appearance.

Periodic MaintenanceItem Link
RRoutine cleaning helps these floors stay presentable, but professional periodic maintenance is essential for long-term performance. Over time, dullness, fine scratches, and residue build-up can compromise the look and protection of the floor.
*Our periodic maintenance service includes:
*Deep mechanical cleaning using safe, non-damaging solutions
*Scratch and scuff reduction through micro-abrasive blending pads
*Refinishing or redressing to rebuild protection and restore sheen
*Edge detailing where dirt accumulates around skirting and thresholds
*Spot stain correction where needed
*High-speed burnishing for Marmoleum (if applicable)
This routine care enhances appearance, extends the life of the protective layer, and prevents minor wear from turning into visible damage.egular maintenance is essential to keep your Travertine floors looking their best and to extend the life of the protective sealer. We recommend routine vacuuming or dry dust mopping to remove grit that can scratch the surface, followed by damp mopping with a pH-neutral stone cleaner — never acidic or bleach-based products. Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining or etching. Over time, all sealed stone benefits from a professional maintenance clean and reseal, and we offer this as part of our ongoing care service. Our maintenance visits help refresh the protective layer, restore natural clarity and texture, and ensure your Travertine continues to look beautifully clean and well cared for all year round.
