Use and Care Guide

1
Your Mohawk cushioned vinyl ooring will provide years of carefree use. You will nd that it is not only beautiful, but durable. It is
also much easier to maintain than most other ooring products because of the tough protective nish and moisture resistance.
It only takes a few simple care and maintenance steps to keep your oor looking new for years to come.
TO KEEP YOUR FLOOR CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL:
•
Sweep the oor with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
•
Wash the oor with a non-abrasive oor cleaner.
•
For everyday maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will sufce.
•
Do not use soap based detergents.
•
Do not use abrasive or mop and shine products.
•
Do not wax the oor.
•
Do not use ammonia or bleaches.
•
Do not use a vacuum cleaner with a rotating beater bar.
•
Do not use a steam mop.
•
Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining oor protectors. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped
glides with smooth, at glides that are in at contact with the oor.
•
Heavy furniture or appliances that are not moved often should be equipped with at, non-staining composition furniture
casters or cups of appropriate size.
Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use.
IMPORTANT: NEVER push, pull or drag heavy furniture or other items across the oor. When moving
furniture or heavy items, always lift and carry the items, if possible. Otherwise, use furniture sliders
available at most hardware, home improvement and discount stores.
