EASY MAINTENANCE

Vinyl flooring is very easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for families with kids or pets

Use felt pads under heavy furniture, chairs and tables.
A protective hard floor chair mat should be used on any area where furniture with castors (such as an office chair) will be used.
Use mats at entry areas and clean on a regular basis. Mats should have a non-staining back.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Use drapes or blinds to minimize direct sunlight during peak sunlight hours.
Do not expose standard vinyl flooring to temperatures below -4°C (25°F) or above 29°C (84°F). Do not expose stone core vinyl flooring to temperatures below -50°C (-58°F) or above 65.5°C (150°F).

Water leakage over or around the outer edges of the flooring can damage a wood subfloor, so clean up water as soon as possible.
When moving heavy furniture, use protective boards or appropriate furniture movers designed for use over hard surface flooring.
Save a few planks in case of accidental damage. Planks can be replaced or repaired by a flooring professional.
If other trades are in the work area, a floor protector is highly recommended to prevent damage.
High heels and pets with unclipped nails can scratch or damage a floor's finish.

Sweep regularly to remove surface grit and dust. Use a damp cloth or mop to clean up any dirt or footprints. Avoid using excessive water to clean the floor. CAUTION: Planks are slippery when wet.
Use a pH-neutral cleaner, rinse the floor thoroughly and allow to dry.
Never use wax, polish, abrasive cleaners or scouring agents as they may dull or distort the finish.
