Flooring Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
• Heavy furniture (500+ lbs.) may obstruct the free, natural movement of a floated floor. Restricting
this movement in certain areas can lead to problems such as buckling or separation when the floor
experiences natural expansion and/or contraction. Do not install flooring under permanent or fixed
cabinetry and never nail or screw anything through a floated floor.
• Lighter colors and darker colors naturally show more dirt, flaws, and marks and are considered higher
maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix a scratch on my finish?
If the scratch is white, the finish has not been compromised and is repairable. Simply using a flooring
cleaner, like Bona, should eliminate these blemishes. If the scratch is deeper but the raw wood is not
exposed, light buffing with a microfiber cloth can shine up the dull area. Often the damage becomes less
obvious. For scratches that cannot be buffed out, use a CALI touch-up marker.

The wood veneer was damaged through the finish. Can it be repaired?
If you have a minor chip or slight damage, this may be minimized using a CALI touch-up marker and/or Fil-
Stik. CALI Fil-Stiks are wood fill products that work great to reduce the appearance of deeper blemishes. In
most cases, more than one shade may be appropriate. If the damage is severe enough, board replacement
is typically the best option.

How can I remove a stain?
When removing stains from any wood floor, always begin at the outer edge of the stain and work toward the
middle.
Can I refinish my CALI™ Flooring?
GeoWood Flooring cannot be refinished. Sanding is not covered under warranty.
Occasional Flooring Noise
Floor noise is normal and will vary from one installation type to the next. Occasional noise is due to
structural movement and may relate to sub-floor type, flatness, deflection, and/or related to the fasteners,
changes in environmental conditions, relative humidity and the amount of topside pressure applied to the
flooring. For these reasons floor noise is not considered a product or manufacturer defect.
