is not covered under warranty.
• It is recommended for residential, that a
protective oor matting is used in entrances.
Do not use rubber backed matting as it is
known to discolor all-wear layers and is not
covered under warranty.
• Immediately wipe off chemicals that can
discolor and damage the ooring.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning your LUCIDA SURFACES BaseCORE
Floorings is a breeze as all our products are
manufactured with a robust polyurethane
coated wear layer. Please follow the cleaning
guide outlined below. Only use cleaners that are
provided as examples.
• Only use a neutral PH cleaner to clean your
oors such as ZEP Neutral Floor Cleaner or a
mild dish detergent like Dawn. Use of stronger
detergents such as Pine Sol is acceptable
provided that the oors are followed up with
a rinse to remove any residue. Failure to rinse
oors may cause a buildup of detergent and
may dull the nish of your oor (which is
not covered under warranty). Cleaners only
need to be used sparingly; more is not always
better.
• Use of abrasive and harsh cleaners such
as bleach or solvents will void the wear
warranty. Only use mops with non-abrasive
bers to clean Sweep or vacuum daily using
soft bristle attachments.
• Clean up spills and excessive liquids
immediately.
• Damp mop as needed and use cleaners
recommended for vinyl ooring.
• Use proper oor protection devices such as
felt protectors under furniture.
• Place a walk-off mat at outside entrances to
reduce the amount of dirt brought into your
home. Do not use mats with a latex or rubber
backing since these backings can cause
permanent discoloration.
• Avoid direct sunlight on LVT ooring as it can
cause fading and expansion of vinyl planks.
Use window protection.
• Do not drag or slide heavy objects across
the oor.
• Surface temperature should not reach 140
degrees from sunlight as it would cause
expansion of vinyl planks.
PREVENTIVE CARE
• Felt pads must be placed under the legs
of all furniture such as couches, tables,
and chairs. This will protect your oor from
damage and allows furniture to effortlessly
glide over the ooring. Damage to the surface
of ooring from dragging objects across it is
not covered by warranty.
• Heavy furniture and appliances should be
equipped with non-staining large surface
oor protectors.
• When moving appliances or heavy objects
over the ooring, ensure that sliding pads
or protective blankets are used as damage
caused by appliances is not covered under
warranty.
• When moving appliances or heavy furniture
it is always wise to lay a plywood panel, or
similar, on your oor and “walk” the item
across it. This protects your oor from
scufng, gouging and damage.
• Furniture with castors or wheels must swivel
easily and be suitable for resilient oors.
Do NOT use ball type castors as they can
damage the oor. Caster wheeled chairs
should have wide, rubber casters. Place
protective mats under ofce chairs.
• Use oor protectors under furniture to reduce
indentation. As a rule of thumb, the heavier
the item, the wider the oor protector should
be.
• Do not allow standing water to remain on
the surface of your ooring. Although your
ooring is 100% waterproof, standing water
can seep into the sub-oor through the
seams in the ooring causing issues with
the adhesive and mildew within the sub-oor.
