Installing the Final Row:
1. The last row may need to be cut lengthwise (ripped). Make sure ripped piece is at least 1/3 the size of the overall width
of the plank.
2. Place the last row of boards to be fit on top of the last row of installed boards. Use a piece of plank or tile as a scribe to
trace the contour of the wall.
3. Mark where the board will be cut. If the fit of the wall is simple and straight, simply measure for the correct fit and cut.
4. After boards are cut, position boards and use pull bar and hammer to engage the last plank.
Installation
After Install/Floor Care Maintenance:
• For Cleaning, we recommend dry or damp mopping as needed using Bona Stone Tile & Laminate cleaner or similar.
• To clean up dried glue use Bona Ultimate Adhesive remover.
• Do not use anything abrasive or harsh chemicals to clean the floor. Never use any of the following products on your
floor: ammonia-based cleaners, mineral spirits, acrylic finishes, wax-based products, detergents, bleach, polishes, oil
soap, abrasive cleaning soaps, acidic materials such as vinegar.
• Never apply wax treatments or top coats to the floor.
• Do not drag furniture across the floor, use felt pads on chair and furniture legs.
• Keep pet’s nails trimmed to avoid excess scratching.
• Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly to remove loose dirt. Do NOT use vacuums that use a beater bar or turn beater bar
off.
• Place quality walk-off mats at all entrances to retain tracked in dirt, grit and moisture, never use latex or rubber backed
mats as they can permanently stain the floor.
• Area rugs are also recommended in front of kitchen sinks and in high traffic areas.
• Although the Cali Vinyl™ Plank Flooring is water proof, it is still a best practice to avoid excessive moisture on the floor.
Therefore, we recommend soaking up spills immediately using a dry towel or dry mop.
• Limit direct sunlight on floor by using curtains and blinds in areas that are exposed to high UV rays.
• Heating units or non-insulated ductwork close to the flooring or subfloor may cause “hot spots” which must be
eliminated prior to installation.
