How Duplex Cleans High-Tech Woven Flooring (2TEC2 & Bolon) – A Real-World Case Study with the Duplex 340

Modern workspaces are choosing high-tech woven flooring more than ever. Products like 2TEC2 and Bolon combine the aesthetic of a textile with the durability and hygiene of a resilient floor – making them popular in offices, hospitality, healthcare and retail.

But once installed, these floors only stay beautiful with the right cleaning and maintenance plan. That’s where the Duplex 340 Standard comes in – a machine cleaning method recommended by the manufacturers themselves.

What Makes 2TEC2 & Bolon Flooring Unique?

2TEC2 flooring is a woven vinyl textile with a 3D mesh structure, giving it properties that are very different from traditional carpet or hard vinyl:

  • Non-absorbent – water cannot penetrate or damage the fibres
  • Stain resistant and easy to maintain without harsh chemicals
  • Traps dust/dirt inside the woven layer, requiring mechanical agitation for true deep cleaning
  • Can be disinfected as required, ideal for healthcare or hospitality spaces

It looks like a textile floor but behaves like a high-performance engineered surface – which means it needs the correct cleaning method to stay in top condition.

Why Duplex Is the Recommended Cleaning Method

The Duplex machines are professional twin-brush scrubber dryers designed for woven, textile and resilient floor surfaces. Their mechanical action is precisely what 2TEC2 and Bolon specify for deep cleaning large areas.

Before Deep Cleaning

  1. Vacuum or dry extract loose dust and dirt to prevent abrasion during wet cleaning.
  2. Protect surrounding areas and ensure the floor is free from loose debris.

This pre-clean step ensures the deep-clean is more effective and protects the top layer of the flooring

Deep Cleaning Woven Flooring with the Duplex 340

The cleaning process follows a proven professional method:

  • Twin contra-rotating brushes lift dirt from the woven structure without damaging fibres
  • Low water or light detergent solution breaks down embedded grime
  • Simultaneous extraction removes dirty water, leaving the floor clean and nearly dry

Unlike mopping (which only cleans the surface), Duplex reaches into the weave, preventing residue build-up that attracts dirt over time.

This mechanical method is identical to 2TEC2’s recommended deep-cleaning guidelines.

Spot Treatment for Stains

For stubborn localised marks such as coffee, grease or adhesive:

  • Fit the medium grey brushes
  • Apply water (or Duplex own Hydrofresh/Hydrowash)
  • Work gently over the area, applying a small amount of water while extracting at the same time

This approach removes stains without harming the woven surface.

Real-World Result: Restoring Floors to Like-New

Even flooring that looks heavily soiled or neglected can be transformed.
2TEC2 themselves state that professional mechanical cleaning can restore appearance even after long periods of inadequate maintenance.

This proves three key points:

  1. Using the correct machine matters
  2. Woven flooring can be rescued from deep soiling
  3. Duplex delivers the required deep-cleaning performance

We see this regularly with the Duplex 340/420/620 in offices, schools, clinics and commercial spaces.

What Not to Do

To protect engineered woven flooring:

No mechanical vibrating pads
No abrasive pads or harsh chemicals
No soaking or letting water sit on the surface
No prolonged heat (e.g., steam held in one spot)

The Duplex method avoids all of these risks, making it a safe long-term solution.

Final Takeaway

Pairing premium flooring like 2TEC2 or Bolon with the correct maintenance machine ensures:

  • A pristine, professional appearance
  • Longer flooring lifespan
  • Lower long-term cleaning costs
  • Higher hygiene standards
  • Faster deep cleaning with less chemical use

If you manage an office, healthcare facility, boutique hotel or retail environment, this cleaning approach makes a measurable difference.
