V.MAINTENANCE,cont.
Supportfurniturewithwide‐bearing,non‐stainingfloorprotectors.Ideally,theprotectorsshouldbeatleastoneinchin
diameter,madeofnon‐pigmentedhardplastic,andrestflatonthefloor.Non‐stainingfeltprotectorsarealso
acceptable.Casters(typeW),feltpads,andfloorprotectorsarerecommendedforall
moveablefurniture.Use
protectionmatsunderchairswithcastersinordertoavoidabrasionofthevinylflooring.Makesurethatanymetal
protectorsarerust‐proof.

Ifyouneedtomoveheavyfurnitureand/orappliancesacrossthefloor,alwaysusestripsofwoodorhardboardrunways
toprotectthe
floor.Alwaysuserunwaysevenifyouhaveanappliancedolly,oreveniftheheavyobjectsareequipped
withwheelsorrollers.

Sweepyourflooringregularly.

Preventstainsbywipingupspillspromptly.

OccasionalmoppingwithRinse‐FreeCleanerisrecommendedwhendirtbuildsup,andsweepingalone
isnotsufficient.
Strictlyfollowtheguidelinesgivenonthebottle.Donotusesoapordetergentproductsastheywillleaveadullingfilm.

