PERGO Outlast+ Care and Repair
™
Pergo Outlast+ oors, like other ne furnishings in your home, require proper care to keep them
looking their best. When you follow our easy cleaning and maintenance instructions, you'll nd taking
care of your Pergo Outlast+ oor a snap!
Regular Maintenance
The surface layer of Pergo Outlast+ ooring is hard and compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere to it
easily. The following simple steps are usually all it takes to keep your oor clean.
• For general cleaning, use a dust mop or vacuum with the correct hard surface attachment of
your vacuum cleaner.
• For heavier cleaning, occasionally wet mop with water only, using a well wrung out mop.
DO NOT pour liquid directly on oor or use an excessively wet mop that will puddle or leave
moisture standing on the oor.
• If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1 ⁄3 cup non-sudsing
ammonia per gallon of water.
• A residential steam mop may be used provided the steam is applied to a microber pad and
not applied directly to the oor. Make sure to set the temperature of the steam mop to the
appropriate setting for laminate oors, or to the lowest setting. Steam mop in the length
direction of the planks only.
• DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. There is never a need to
wax or renish your Pergo Outlast+ oor.
• DO NOT use rotating beater bars, oor scrubbers, jet mops, buffers or similar products.
Protect the Floor
While Pergo Outlast+ is remarkably durable, there is of course no such thing as an indestructible
ooring material. There are a few simple protective measures that are important to keep your oor
looking new.
• To protect your Pergo Outlast+ oor from surface scratches, place walk-off area rugs or mats
inside any exterior doorway to collect small bits of gravel that may track in on shoes.
• Use felt oor protectors on the legs of chairs, sofas, TV stands, tables and other easily movable
furniture.
• Replace plastic casters on chairs with rubber wheels and lift rather than slide heavy objects
across the oor.
• Minor damage to a Pergo Outlast+ plank can be easily repaired with Finishing Putty. If the
damaged area is larger than 1/4 of an inch, we recommend contacting a professional to replace
an entire plank.
