TROUBLESHOOTING
Stains on the tile floor covering
■ What kind of stains can be removed? The tile floor covering will
resist many stains from common garage and automotive
products. However, certain products such as brake fluid, dyes,
and carbon black from tires may, over time, produce stains that
are permanent.
■ What products are needed to remove stains? Blot or wipe up
spills quickly to reduce the likelihood of permanent staining. If
washing with mild soap and water does not remove the stains,
use only a degreaser that is compatible with polypropylene
material.
IMPORTANT: Using a degreaser other than one that is compatible
with polypropylene material will damage the tile floor covering.
The tile floor covering becomes slightly buckled near the
wall or baseboard
■ Are the tiles buckling near the wall or baseboard? The tile
floor covering expands and contracts with seasonal temperature
changes. If you are installing the tile floor covering when the
temperature is cool, leave a ¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) gap between the tile
floor covering and each wall or baseboard to allow expansion
room when the temperature warms.
■ What if buckling occurs and no gap exists? It may be
necessary to remove the tiles adjacent to the wall or obstruction
and trim the tiles to leave the necessary space or gap.
