Residential Care and Maintenance Guide
To keep your oor clean using the Residential Care and Maintenance Guide, follow these proper care and
maintenance guidelines:
• Sweep the oor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
• Wash the oor with non-abrasive, neutral PH oor cleaner.
• For everyday maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will su󰮐ce.
• Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
• Ensure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining plastic oor protectors or non-staining felt pads. The
protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest at on the oor. The heavier the item, the wider
the oor protector should be. 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 or cups of appropriate size.
Do not use the following on your vinyl ooring:
• Soap based detergents
• Abrasive or mop and shine products
• Floor wax
• Vacuum cleaners with a rotating beater bars
• Ammonia or bleaches*
*For spot treatment, a diluted 1/10 solution of bleach/water is tolerable for stain removal.
NOTE: Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use!
IMPORTANT: Never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances or other items across the oor. When moving
furniture or heavy items, always lift and carry the items. Place hardboards between the ooring and object to
move.
