MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning your LUCIDA SURFACES MaxCore
Floorings is a breeze as all of our products
are manufactured with a robust polyurethane
coated wear layer. Please follow the cleaning
guide outlined below. Only use cleaners that are
provided as examples.
• Only use a neutral PH cleaner to clean your
floors such as ZEP Neutral Floor Cleaner
or a mild dish detergent similar to Dawn.
Use of stronger detergents such as Pine
Sol is acceptable provided that the floors
are followed up with a rinse to remove any
residue. Failure to rinse floors may cause a
buildup of detergent and may dull the finish
of your floor (which is not covered under
warranty). Cleaners only need to be used
sparingly; more is not always better.
• Use of abrasive and harsh cleaners such
as bleach or solvents will void the wear
warranty. Only use mops with non-abrasive
fibers to clean Sweep or vacuum daily using
soft bristle attachments.
• Clean up spills and excessive liquids
immediately.
• Damp mop as needed and use cleaners
recommended for vinyl flooring.
• Use proper floor protection devices such as
felt protectors under furniture.
• Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to
reduce the amount of dirt brought into your
home. Do not use mats with a latex or rubber
backing since these backings can cause
permanent discoloration.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach or wax
to maintain the floor.
• Do not drag or slide heavy objects across
the floor
PREVENTIVE CARE
• Felt pads must be placed under the legs
of all furniture such as couches, tables,
and chairs. This will protect your floor from
damage and allows furniture to effortlessly
glide over the flooring. Damage to the surface
of flooring from dragging objects across it is
not covered by warranty.
• Heavy furniture and appliances should be
equipped with non-staining large surface
floor protectors.
• When moving appliances or heavy objects
over the flooring, ensure that sliding pads
or protective blankets are used as damage
caused by appliances is not covered under
warranty.
• When moving appliances or heavy furniture
it is always wise to lay a plywood panel, or
similar, on your floor and “walk” the item
across it. This protects your floor from
scuffing, gouging and damage.
• Furniture with castors or wheels must swivel
easily and be suitable for resilient floors.
Do NOT use ball type castors as they can
damage the floor. Caster wheeled chairs
should have wide, rubber casters. Place
protective mats under office chairs.
• Use floor protectors under furniture to reduce
indentation. As a general rule of thumb, the
heavier the item, the wider the floor protector
should be.
• Do not allow standing water to remain on
the surface of your flooring. Although your
flooring is 100% water proof, standing water
can seep into the sub-floor through the
seams in the flooring causing issues with
the adhesive and mildew within the sub-floor.
