DAILY MAINTENANCE
• Regularly sweep, dust, damp mop, or vacuum (without beater bar)
your oor to remove any particles that could cause abrasions or
scratches to appear on your oor.
• Use a damp mop to remove spots and soil. Use any pH neutral oor
cleaner.
• For lightly soiled areas, clean with distilled water.
• When the cleaning cloth/mop becomes soiled, rinse or replace it
with a clean one. Following up with a clean, dry cloth will remove
residual streak-marks and spots.
• Avoid spills of acidic products (juice, soft drinks, wine, etc.) on the
oor. Clean spots immediately.
• Promptly remove any standing water, pet urine or other liquids.
• Avoid spills of paints, dyes, or harsh chemicals.
• DO NOT use a steam cleaner.
• DO NOT vacuum with a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
• DO NOT use any cleaning agents containing wax, oil or polish.
Leftover residue will form a dull lm.
• DO NOT use steel wool or scouring pad, as they will scratch
the oor.
• DO NOT use any dust cleaners, as they may cause your oor
to become slick or damage the nish.
• DO NOT use vinegar.
• DO NOT use any All-Purpose or Multi-Purpose cleaners.
• DO NOT use wet sweeper pads. Dry sweeper pads can be
used.
FLOOR REPAIR
• Use a melamine pad to remove scuffs.
• Deep scratches may require the replacement of planks. A plank
replacement video is available on YouTube.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
• Protect your oor 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 oor.
• Use at oor protectors (nylon or 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-trafc areas.
• Use protective mats beneath rolling chairs and keep furniture
casters clean.
• Use NON-RUBBER backed mats that are labeled “colorfast” by
the manufacturer. Non-staining, vinyl-backed mats or woven rugs
should be used at all entrances to avoid discoloration from asphalt
driveways and to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto your
oor. Rubber and latex-backed mats use a chemical (antioxidant) to
keep the backing from becoming brittle; it is this chemical that can
permanently stain your oor.
• Light, rolling furniture should be outtted with broad-surface, non-
staining casters that have been engineered for hard surface oors.
Such casters should be a minimum of 1” (2.5cm) wide and at least
2” (5.1cm) in diameter. We recommend the use of a hard surface
(non-studded), non-rubber chair mat to protect your oor from
ofce chairs with casters
• Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
• Remove shoes with cleats, spikes or exceptionally pointy heels
before walking on the oor.
