warranties!

Water

Household Detergent

Wax

Any of the above can damage the finish, leave greasy films, discolorations or make the

floor slippery and hard to maintain. If any improper cleaning methods are used to maintain

your hardwood floor, the homeowner or end-user will be responsible for all subsequent

damage to your wood floor.

KEEPING YOUR HARDWOOD FLOOR BEAUTIFUL

Wego International Floors are factory finished using the latest advanced UV cured

urethane finish. Our tough, durable finish is easy to maintain.

We highly recommend BonaX Hardwood Floor Cleaner and BonaX Micro-Fiber Mops to

maintain our floors. Contact your retailer or visit www.us.bona.com , or call (800) 872

5515 for your nearest dealer, technical department, or advice on maintaining or restoring

your floor's finish. Do not damp mop your floor with water as this may raise the grain which

could damage the protective finish.

SCRATCHES, INDENTATIONS AND GOUGES

INDENTATIONS:

The species of wood used to manufacture Wego International Floors are resistant to deep

scratching and indentations (impact compression), however, scratches and dents can

occur if the floor is not properly protected.

Spiked Heels: As an example of “point loading”, 125-pound person wearing high heel shoes can exert as much as 3500 pounds of pressure per square inch. The size of the indentations are usually 3/16” to ½”, thus the pressure on wood floor may exceed 7,000 pounds. Legs of Chairs, Tables and Furniture: Felt pads should be glued to all legs of chairs and furniture. These pads should be checked once a month for wear and see if they have filled with grit. Replace as needed.

DO: • • • • • • • • Sweep, vacuum or dust-mop your floors regularly. Trim your pet's claws regularly to reduce scratches and indentations. Glue protective felt pads on the legs of all chairs and furniture to reduce scratches, indentations and damage to the floor. Check them regularly for wear and embedded grit. Wipe up spills immediately. Stop dirt at the entrance. Grit, gravel, sand and dirt are enemies of hardwood floors. Make it a habit to keep your wood floor clean.
