CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Although our floors are designed with easy care in mind, all floors require routine care and preventative maintenance for
sustained beauty and performance. The recommendations in this section are provided in accordance with guidelines required to
maintain the coverage of these limited warranties and will prolong the life of the installed flooring. For full details, refer to
Mohawk’s Care and Maintenance section.
Preventative Maintenance
Exterior
Mats
Place exterior mats outside all exterior entrances.
Exterior mats should be constructed of dual fibers: soft fibers capable of absorbing moisture and coarse fibers to
remove dirt and grime from shoe soles.
To allow time for cleaning, purchase two sets of exterior mats. Place one set at all exterior entrances to reduce
the amount of dirt, grit, and moisture tracked into the home. When it’s time for cleaning, remove the soiled set
and immediately replace with the fresh set.
Cleaning mats routinely prevents them from becoming a soil source.
Interior Mats
Place interior mats inside all exterior entrances to capture any residual dirt, grit, or moisture missed by exterior
mats.
