CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• After installation, clean with a mop or vacuum cleaner. If water or cleaning fluid is required, make
sure that the minimum is used to prevent fluid from penetrating into joints and expansion gaps. Do
not pour pails of water on your floor to clean. Excessive water can cause damage to your subfloor.
• For dry maintenance, we recommend cleaning every day and a dust mop or vacuum cleaner with
a soft bristle brush only.
• For wet maintenance, we recommend weekly or monthly use of a damp mop procedure with a
diluted neutral detergent or with a regular vinyl cleaner. Avoid harsh cleaning products that may
damage the floor and make sure to dry completely.
• Care should be taken to keep moisture from collecting on either side of vinyl floor to prevent the
growth of mold and mildew. If your floor has been exposed to excessive water, for example by
accident or flooding, remove the water as soon as possible by moping and ventilate the room. A
dehumidifier should be promptly turned on in the room to reduce the moisture level to normal.
• In order to keep the appearance of the flooring, all spills should be wiped up immediately.
• It is not recommended to use wax on vinyl planks as this can cause a slip hazard.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. During peak sunlight hours, the use of the
drapes or blinds is recommended.
• Place a suitable mat at outside entrances to reduce the amount of dirt, water and sand brought
into your home.
