CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Rigid Core Vinyl SPC Flooring

Note: Vinyl flooring is waterproof and exposure to moisture from normal daily activities will not affect

its structural integrity and stability. However, prolonged exposure to water and other liquids may

promote unhealthy growth of bacteria and mildew, therefore it must be avoided.

DAILY MAINTENANCE:

• Sweep, dust mop or vacuum your floor regularly to remove any dust and particles that could cause

abrasion or scratch your floor. CAUTION: Vacuum cleaners with beater bar or unprotected power

rotary brush head can damage the floor. Use only vacuum cleaners which are warranted for use on

hard surfaces flooring.

• Use a damp mop to remove spots and soil. Apply water or cleaning solution to the mop and not

directly on the floor. CAUTION: Floor will be slippery when wet

o For lightly soiled area, clean with distilled water.

o For moderately soiled area, use a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and distilled mixture.

o For tougher spots, use higher concentration of alcohol in the mixture. Or use solution of mild

detergent.

o Always rinse the spot thoroughly and soak up residual water completely.

HINT: For best results, clean the floor in the same direction of the planks. When the cleaning

cloth/mop becomes soiled, rinse or replace it with a clean one. Following up with a clean, dry

cloth will remove residual streak marks and spots.

• Do not use acetone, i.e., nail polish remover, or other vinyl dissolving agent.

• A residential steam mop may be used provided the steam is applied to a microfiber pad and not

applied directly to the floor. Follow all instructions provided by the steam mop’s manufacturer and

make sure to set the temperature of the steam mop to the appropriate setting for vinyl floors, or to

the lowest setting. Do not allow the steam mop to remain in place while heated.

• Do not use chlorinated solvents.

• Do not use wax or varnish coating.

• Do not leave any amount of liquids (water, juice, soft drinks, spills, etc.) on the floor. Clean any wet

spots immediately.

• Do not use steel wool or scouring powder which will abrade the coating.

BRANDED OFF-THE-SHELF FLOORCARE PRODUCT:

If you choose to use a store-bought product, test the product in a non-conspicuous area (i.e., closet,

corner, or scrap pieces) for potential adverse side effects. Always read the manufacturer instructions

ensuring it is formulated for vinyl covering that you purchased.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:

• Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Protective sheets and/or

plywood may be needed. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.

• Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and other heavy objects.

• Do not use rubber backed rugs unless they are warranted by manufacturer to be no staining.

• Minimize abrasive material and dirt by placing mats on both sides of exterior doors and by using

area rugs in high-traffic areas.

• Avoid localized exposure to extreme sunlight/UV rays. Close curtain or blinds during such times.
