not covered under warranty.
• It is recommended for residential, and
mandatory for commercial applications 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 o chemicals that can discolor
and damage the ooring.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Cleaning your LUCIDA SURFACES GlueCore Floorings
is a breeze as all of 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 similar to 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-o 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 or bed bug treatment 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 eortlessly 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 scu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
oce chairs.
• Use oor protectors under furniture to reduce
indentation. As a general 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% water proof, 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.
