Owner Manual

Maintenance Instructions:

Laminate flooring is virtually maintenance-free. Routine cleaning

requires you only to vacuum, use a dust mop, or a slightly damp (not

wet) mop and dry with a clean, cotton cloth. Regular cleaning should

be done with either Performance Accessories Hard Surface Cleaner or

plain water (distilled if your area has particularly hard water). With its

smooth surface, Quick Step flooring cannot retain dust or dirt.

NEVER use a wax, polish, oil, or varnish coating on the floor. Do not

use soap, detergents, oil soaps, shine enhancers/restorers, or one-step

clean and shine type products, or any product that squirts liquid directly

on the floor. Do not use any type of cleaning machine such as spray

mops, steam cleaners, or power cleaners.

For dry maintenance, use a dust mop, microfiber mop, or vacuum

cleaner. Use only soft bristle attachments with your vacuum cleaner.

Avoid vacuum attachments with ‘beater bars’, which could damage

your floor. Ensure vacuum cleaner wheels are not impregnated with

grit; plastic wheels may scratch your floor.

FOR OUR BEVEL EDGED PRODUCTS, WE RECOMMEND

DRY MAINTENANCE ONLY.

For damp maintenance: Apply Performance Accessories Hard Surface

cleaning products (or plain water) lightly to a dry, soft cloth (never

directly to the floor), wipe over floor. (Never use other cleaning

products or detergents!) Only use a WELL WRUNG OUT CLOTH.

ALWAYS WIPE DRY IMMEDIATELY AFTER until no moisture is visible on the floor. DO NOT ALLOW FLOOR TO AIR DRY. WET MAINTENANCE MUST NEVER BE USED on laminate. Never wet mop or use steam cleaners on your floor. Remove stubborn stains carefully with a glue/adhesive remover (for sticky stains) or a little acetone (fingernail polish remover) on a soft cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or scouring powder, as they will scratch your floor. Quick Step laminate is based on pre-treated, glued HDF board.
