Quick Step Studio Laminate Flooring on Wall Install Instructions
Care and Cleaning
Dry wipe as primary cleaning method. Occasionally damp wipe with water only. NO wet washing. If needed, use 1 cup
of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1/3 cup non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water. DO NOT use detergents, abrasive
cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. Wipe off spills immediately.
DO NOT attach objects such as pictures, shelves or television mounts directly to the laminate wall. DO NOT apply
adhesive backed hooks or install screws on or into the laminate wall for hanging objects. Instead drill clearance holes
through the laminate and mount these objects directly to wall studs with screws or nails. Drill the clearance holes
through the laminate at least
1
/2" larger than the diameter of the fastener that will be used.
Precautionary Measures
Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered use an appropriate NIOSH
designated dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes. First Aid Measures in case of irritations: In case of
irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15 minutes.
WARNING: DRILLING, SAWING, SANDING OR MACHINING WOOD PRODUCTS CAN EXPOSE YOU TO WOOD DUST,
A SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER. AVOID INHALING WOOD DUST OR USE
A DUST MASK OR OTHER SAFEGUARDS FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ONLY:
THESE BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT FORMALDEHYDE. EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION, HEADACHE
NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMA-LIKE SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HAVE BEEN
REPORTED AS A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE EXPOSURE. ELDERLY PERSONS AND YOUNG CHILDREN, AS
WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT GREATER
RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING ON THE POSSIBLE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE.
REDUCED VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN
THE INDOOR AIR. HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RAISE FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS. WHEN A
HOME IS TO BE LOCATED IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING
SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL INDOOR TEMPERATURE LEVELS. OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED
MECHANICAL VENTILATION CAN BE USED TO REDUCE LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER INDOOR AIR
CONTAMINANTS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.
