Use and Care Manual

Daily Maintenance

1. Sweep, dust mop or vacuum your floor regularly to remove any particles that could cause abrasion or

scratch your floor. CAUTION: Vacuums with a beater bar or power rotary brush head can damage a floor

and should NOT be used.

2. Apply appropriate cleaning solution to the cleaning cloth / mop. Use a cleaner specifically manufactured

for resilient flooring. Do NOT apply directly to the floor.

HINT: For best results, clean the floor in the same direction of the planks. 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.

3. Do NOT leave any amount of liquids (water, juice, soft drinks, spills, pet urine, etc.) on the floor.

Clean any wet spots immediately.

4. Do NOT use a steam cleaner.

5. Do NOT use a wet mop or douse floor with water or liquid cleaners. Liquid can seep between the cracks

and cause moisture damage.

6. Do NOT use any cleaning agents containing ammonia, wax, oil or polish. Left over residue will form a dull

film. Use a neutral pH cleaner to avoid damage to the finish.

7. Do NOT use steel wool or scouring powder which will scratch the floor.

Preventative Maintenance

• Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Protective sheets and/or plywood

may be needed. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.

• Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and other heavy objects. Replace as needed if the

protectors are felt or wool pads.
