Mohawk LVT Care & Maintenance Guide — Residential
Your Mohawk LVT 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.
Residential Care & Maintenance Guidelines
To help protect and keep your oor clean, following these proper care and maintenance guidelines:
Preventative Maintenance:
• Prevent indentations and scratches by the use of non-staining oor protectors on the legs of chairs, appliances
and all heavy furniture. Floor protectors should be at least on inch in diameter.
• Do not ood oor or subject to standing water.
• Protect your oor from tracked-in dirt by using mats at all outside entrances. Mats should have a non-rubberized
backing and be marked as non-staining.
• Avoid tracking-in tar on asphalt from driveways.
• Avoid high heel shoes on your oor as they can cause permanent indentations.
• Protect your oors against burns. Burns from cigarettes, matches or other extremely hot items can cause
permanent damage.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause discoloration.
Cleaning & Maintenance:
• Sweep the oor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
• Wash the oor with non-abrasive, neutral PH oor cleaner.
• For every day maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will sufce.
• Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
DO NOT use the following on your Mohawk LVT oor:
• Soap based detergents
• Abrasive or mop and shine products
• Floor wax
• Ammonia or bleaches*
* For spot treatment, a diluted 10/1 solution of water/liquid bleach is tolerable for stain removal
• Vacuum cleaner with a rotating beater bar
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 ooring and object to move.
