Preventative Maintenance
• To ensure full enjoyment from your floor and to extend its beauty for years to come, the following list of
guidelines should be followed.
• Install floor protectors on furniture legs to protect against scratches and dents. These furniture pads should
have no wrinkles and be made of soft, non staining material
(i.e. felt pads)
• Do not drag or roll furniture or other heavy objects across the floor. Rollers from refrigerators, TV’s,
stereos, etc will dent the floor. To prevent the denting first lay 1/8” hardboard on the floor and roll the appliance
or heavy furniture on the hardboard.
• Avoid high heels or shoes with protruding nails. Some types of high heel shoes can severely damage the
surface of any floor covering.
• Sweep and vacuum floor regularly.
• Avoid sand and grit build up. Use protective mats or rugs at doorways and areas of heavy wear.
• Never use latex or rubber backed mats or rugs; they will permanently stain the floor
• Place protective mats under chairs with wheels
• Use only recommended cleaning products from your dealer
• Never wet mop your floor. Never wax or use oil-based products on your floor.
