Maintenance, Tips, and Warnings MAINTENANCE: Sweep or vacuum using soft bristle attachments for daily maintenance. When necessary, clean with a MOIST cloth or mop and water only – heavy use of detergent cleaners will leave a residue and, over time, lead to a cloudy film. Immediately wipe away and dry away spills. NEVER USE floor polish or floor cleaning wax, oils, soaps, etc. These products can damage and/or leave a film on the flooring. This is not a flooring defect.
