Use and Care Manual

Care and Maintenance - Waterproof Wood
Regular Maintenance
• Dust-mop, broom, and/or vacuum on the correct hard surface setting can be used for
daily maintenance.
• When necessary occasionally damp mop with water only, making sure the mop is
thoroughly wrung out. DO NOT pour water or any liquid directly on the floor or use an
excessively wet mop that will puddle or leave excessive moisture on the planks.
Dry immediately.
• NEVER use detergents, soaps, or chemicals to clean the floor. Instead, use a neutral
PH cleaner.
• NEVER use floor polish or floor cleaning wax.
• NEVER use rotating beater bars, scrubbers, jet mops, buffers, etc.
• Liquids and spills must be wiped dry immediately.
• Do not use steam mops
• NEVER slide heavy furniture across the floor.
Additional damage prevention and care
• To protect flooring from scratches, area rugs or mats are recommended, especially in
exterior or doorway areas to prevent gravel and dirt from tracking onto the floor.
• Use felt pad protectors on chairs and furniture to prevent scratches.
• Replace plastic or metal casters on chairs with rubber wheels and lift instead of
sliding heavy objects across the floor.
• If there is small damage to the floor (less than 1⁄4 inch) Finishing Putty can be used
to repair.
