• CAUTION: Rubber-backed mats may cause permanent staining when placed directly on the vinyl. Place
walk-o󰮏 mats/rugs outside the entrances to the building to capture soil particles prior to entering the
environment. Use non-staining mats/rugs inside the entrances if outside locations are not feasible.
• Some solutions contain chemicals that may permanently stain or damage ooring if not cleaned up
immediately. Asphalt driveways (particularly those recently in stalled or resealed with asphalt type sealers)
can cause permanent staining in high tra󰮐c areas.
• Allow adhesive and sealers to cure a minimum of 48 hours before cleaning the vinyl oor. If this is not
possible, avoid over wetting or saturating the seam areas.
• Remove scu󰮏s and any adhesive smears with a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits while being
careful to avoid contaminating the seam areas. Immediately clean the area using a neutral pH oor cleaner
to remove any residue remaining from the mineral spirits.
DAILY MAINTENANCE:
• Sweep or dust with an untreated dust mop daily to remove loose soil contaminants.
• Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
• Never use sweeping compounds or oil treated mops.
• Damp mop with a neutral pH oor cleaner using overlapping strokes.
• Rinse the mop frequently and changing the rinse water often as needed.
• Avoid over wetting the oor.
• Allow oor to dry before allowing any foot tra󰮐c on the cleaned area.
PLEASE AVOID:
• The use of detergents, abrasive cleaners or “mop and shine” products. These products may leave a residue
on your oor or scratch the surface.
• Applying paste wax or solvent-based polishes.
• Using highly abrasive scrubbing tools, pads, etc.
REMEMBER TO:
• Clean oors on a regular schedule (additional cleaning, when needed).
• Use a clean mop head.
• Rinse the mop head often to remove soil particles and build up.
• Replace rinse water frequently to keep it clean.
