Mohawk Residential Care & Maintenance Guide
Your Mohawk luxury berglass vinyl ooring will provide years of carefree use. You will nd that it is not
only beautiful, but durable. It is also much easier to maintain than most other ooring products, thanks to
its tough protective nish and moisture resistance. It only takes a few simple care and maintenance steps
to keep your Mohawk oor looking beautiful for years to come.
To keep your oor clean, following these proper care and maintenance guidelines:
- Sweep the oor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
- Wash the oor with non-abrasive, neutral PH oor cleaner.
- For everyday maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will sufce.
- Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
- Ensure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt
pads. The protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the
item, the wider the oor protector should be. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with
smooth, at glides that are in at contact with the oor.
- Heavy furniture or appliances that are not moved often should be equipped with at, non-staining
composition furniture or cups of appropriate size.
DO NOT USE the following on your vinyl ooring:
• Soap based detergents
• Abrasive or mop and shine products
• Floor wax
• Vacuum cleaners with a rotating beater bars
• Ammonia or bleaches*
*For spot treatment, a diluted 1/10 solution of bleach/water is tolerable for stain removal.
NOTE: Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use!
IMPORTANT: Never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances or other items across the oor. When moving
furniture or heavy items, always lift and carry the items. Place hardboards between the ooring and
object to move.
