HARDWOOD FLOORING CARE AND CLEANING TIPS
MAINTAIN THE BEAUTY OF YOUR NEW HARDWOOD FLOOR FOR YEARS
TO COME BY FOLLOWING A FEW SIMPLE TIPS
FLOOR CLEANING
• Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly using the wand attachment on your vacuum cleaner.
• Clean your hardwood floor occasionally using a swivel head mop with a soft cover and Armstrong
®
Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner
or Bruce
®
Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner. DO NOT USE WATER OR STEAM.
• Use Armstrong
®
floor care products and floor protectors, available at your local flooring store or home center.
• The Armstrong
®
Hardwood & Laminate Cleaning System Kit includes a 32 oz. spray cleaner and a mop with a terry cloth cover.
FLOOR PROTECTION
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Place a natural or colorfast mat outside at entrances to reduce the amount of dirt and moisture tracked into your home.
• Keep animal nails trimmed to minimize scratches.
• Support furniture with floor protectors that are at least one inch in diameter, made of non-staining felt or non-pigmented hard plastic,
that rest flat on the floor and are replaced regularly.
• When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on your floor and “walk” the item across it to prevent scuffs and gouges.
• Replace hard, narrow furniture rollers with wide rubber rollers.
• Protect your floor from direct sunlight.
• DON’T use rubber, foam back, or plastic mats as they could discolor your floor.
• DON’T use ammonia-based cleaners, wax-based products, detergents, bleach, polishes, oil soaps, abrasive cleaning soaps, or acidic
materials like vinegar.
• DON’T wear shoes with spike heels or heel taps on your hardwood floor. Remove shoes at the door to avoid potentially dragging in
sharp objects in your shoe treads.
