DAILY MAINTENANCE
• Regularly sweep, dust, damp mop, or vacuum (without beater bar)
your oor to remove any particles that could cause abrasions or
scratches to appear on your oor.
• Use a damp mop to remove spots and soil. Use any pH neutral oor
cleaner.
• For lightly soiled areas, clean with distilled water.
• When the cleaning cloth/mop becomes soiled, rinse or replace it
with a clean one. Following up with a clean, dry cloth will remove
residual streak-marks and spots.
• Avoid spills of acidic products (juice, soft drinks, wine, etc.) on the
oor. Clean spots immediately.
• Promptly remove any standing water, pet urine or other liquids.
• Avoid spills of paints, dyes, or harsh chemicals.
• DO NOT use a steam cleaner.
• DO NOT vacuum with a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
• DO NOT use any cleaning agents containing wax, oil or polish.
Leftover residue will form a dull lm.
• DO NOT use steel wool or scouring pad, as they will scratch
the oor.
• DO NOT use any dust cleaners, as they may cause your oor
to become slick or damage the nish.
• DO NOT use vinegar.
• DO NOT use any All-Purpose or Multi-Purpose cleaners.
• DO NOT use wet sweeper pads. Dry sweeper pads can be
used.
FLOOR REPAIR
• Use a melamine pad to remove scuffs.
• Deep scratches may require the replacement of planks. A plank
replacement video is available on YouTube.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
• Protect your oor when using a dolly to move furniture or appliances.
Protective sheets and/or plywood may be needed. Never slide or
roll heavy furniture or appliances across the oor.
• Use at oor protectors (nylon or felt) on all furniture legs. Periodically
clean protectors to remove grit that may become embedded and
cause scratching.
• Minimize abrasive material and dirt by placing mats on both sides of
exterior doors and by using area rugs in high-trafc areas.
• Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs and keep furniture
casters clean.
• Use NON-RUBBER backed mats that are labeled “colorfast” by
the manufacturer. Non-staining, vinyl-backed mats or woven rugs
should be used at all entrances to avoid discoloration from asphalt
driveways and to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto your
oor. Rubber and latex-backed mats use a chemical (antioxidant) to
keep the backing from becoming brittle; it is this chemical that can
permanently stain your oor.
• Light, rolling furniture should be outtted with broad-surface, non-
staining casters that have been engineered for hard surface oors.
Such casters should be a minimum of 1” (2.5cm) wide and at least
2” (5.1cm) in diameter. We recommend the use of a hard surface
(non-studded), non-rubber chair mat to protect your oor from
ofce chairs with casters
• Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
• Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels
before walking on the oor.
