Installation Sheet

Maintenance
- The smooth surface of your laminate means it never retains dirt or dust.
- Never use wax or varnish coating on the floor.
- For dry maintenance, we recommend using a micro-fiber duster (flipper) or vacuum cleaner.
- For slightly damp maintenance, we recommend using Mohawk® Floor Care Essentials hardsurfaces cleaner.
Always wipe dry immediately until no more moisture is visible on the floor. The use of other cleaning products
might damage your floor. For bevel edge products, we strongly recommend dry cleaning only.
- Do not use of any type of cleaning machine such as spray mops, steam cleaners/ mops or power cleaners.
- Wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden. Remove any standing water immediately.
- To remove stubborn stains carefully, we recommend using acetone based fingernail polish remover. Never use
scouring products!
- In case your floor needs repair, Mohawk® has a tool called Unifix, which allows the damaged floor plank to be
easily removed in minutes without replacing the entire floor. For Unifix to work properly the required
expansion gap must be in place around the room's perimeter and extra flooring should be available for use in
the repair.
Enjoy your floor.
ATTN: INSTALLERS – Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust can cause
respiratory, skin and eye irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in humans.
Precautionary Measures: Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered
use an appropriate NIOSH-designated dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes.
First Aid Measures in case of irritations: In case of irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at
least 15 minutes. For questions please contact Technical Services at: 1-888-387-9882, option

IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ONLY: THESE BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT
FORMALDEHYDE. EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMA-LIKE
SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE
EXPOSURE. ELDERLY PERSONS AND YOUNG CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA,
ALLERGIES, OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT GREATER RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING ON THE POSSIBLE LONG-
TERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE. REDUCED VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND
OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE INDOOR AIR. HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY
RAISE FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS. WHEN A HOME IS TO BE LOCATED IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER
TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL INDOOR TEMPERATURE LEVELS.
OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED MECHANICAL VENTILATION CAN BE USED TO REDUCE LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE
AND OTHER INDOOR AIR CONTAMIANTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF
FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL YOUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
