Use and Care Guide

5. Can I use a steam mop? No.
MISCELLANEOUS:
1. How can I prevent scuff marks, scratches or gouging? Apply an aftermarket finish to the flooring to prevent scuffing and
minor scratching. Use felt type furniture protectors on all furniture legs and bottoms. When moving heavy furniture, use
soft “Sliders” specifically made for hard surface floors.
2. Will my pets damage my floor? Common household pets are fine, but keep in mind that some dogs have tougher,
sharper nails and will gain traction differently on a hard surface floors causing them to grip with their claws more.
Keeping your pet’s nails trimmed and filed will aid in prevention of scratches, by keeping them on the pads of their feet.
3. Are furniture protectors really necessary? YES!! Furniture protector pads ARE necessary to prevent surface scratching
and scuffing. Nylon type protectors are the best to use. Felt protectors can be used but must be changed frequently to
keep the amount of embedded debris to a minimum. We recommend replacement >3 times a year to avoid buildup of
debris on the felt.
4. What type of rugs should I use? Area rugs, walk off mats and throw rugs should NOT have rubber backing. Keep to soft
surface fabric backed area rugs to prevent scratching or discoloration of your floor.
