CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance:
• Vacuum your floors instead of sweeping
• Vacuum your floors as part of a regular weekly routine, as well
as after any event that has left dirt behind. Gravel and dirt of
any kind have the potential to damage the floor if not removed
properly and promptly. Vacuuming, with a floor attachment
rather than a beater bar, is preferred to sweeping because it not
only addresses the surface of the floor but pulls particulates
from between the planks.
• Never use a rotating brush, floor scrubbers, jet mops, buffers or
similar products.
• To minimize the amount of dirt and grime on your floors, place
mats outside and inside of all exterior doors.
• The occasional spill should be cleaned up immediately with a
dry cloth. A damp cloth may be used for a stickier mess, but the
area should be dried afterwards.
• For lightly soiled areas, clean with distilled water.
• When the cleaning cloth/mop becomes soiled, rinse with clear
water and air dry or replace it with a clean one. Following up
with a clean, dry cloth will remove residual streak-marks and
spots.
• Promptly remove any standing water, pet urine or other liquids.
• If using a store-bought off-the-shelf floor care product, follow
manufactures guidelines. Test the product in an inconspicuous
place (e.g. closet, corner, or scrap pieces) for potential, adverse
side effects.
Preventative Maintenance:
• Protect your floor 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 floor.
• Use flat floor protectors (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-traffic
areas.
