CARE & MAINTENANCE
All spills should be cleaned up immediately. Routinely vacuum, sweep and / or dust floors using
standard cleaning equipment.
DO NOT use treated dust mops. For heavier duty cleaning, use a damp mop with clean water or a
neutral pH-based cleanser diluted in water. Avoid any cleaners that contain bleach, washing liquid
or general cleaning products, unless it has been specified on the bottle that it is suitable for rigid
core vinyl flooring. Using incorrect cleaners can damage the flooring, causing discoloration and
deterioration of the protective wear layer.
DO NOT use harsh cleaners or chemicals on your flooring. Oil and petroleum based products can
result in surface staining.
DO NOT use abrasive scrubbing tools or vacuums with a beater bar.
DO NOT use electric brooms with hard plastic bottoms without padding. Avoid steam cleaners at all
costs.
Use doormats at entrance ways to protect floor from discoloring and prevent dirt and dust. DO NOT
allow pets with unclipped nails to scratch or damage the floor.
Compression forces of heavy objects on the flooring (static loads) should not exceed 200 kgs per
square centimeter.
Rolling loads should not exceed 90 kilograms for flooring for commercial use and 60 kilograms for
flooring for residential use.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Close blinds or drapes during peak
sunlight hours. Fit heavy furniture and appliances with floor protectors will help prevent them
leaving a dent behind.
When moving heavy furniture or appliances, lifting them is highly recommended. Attempting to
drag heavy items at the minimum, will most likely leave a scuff mark, or worse, tear the floor.
If it's too heavy to lift, please try to add a protective layer over the floor such as plywood, carpet or
bed sheets and then drag it over to move it. The protective layer helps distribute the weight and
reduce denting or scratching.
Be aware of sharp edges as they can scratch and gouge the floor's surface.
It's a good idea to save a few planks in case of accidental damage. Planks can be replaced or
repaired by a flooring professional.
