MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
A Mannington Laminate Floor is the closest thing there is to
a “maintenance free” floor. The melamine-impregnated surface
with aluminum-oxide makes it resistant to dirt and dust.
Ordinarily vacuuming or sweeping is usually sufficient to keep
the floor clean. If needed, occasionally clean with a cloth or
mop (micro-fiber or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened
with Mannington’s Ultra Clean System.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
–Never flood the floor with water.
–Do not use soap-based detergents, as these may leave a
dull finish on your floor.
–Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder,
as these may scratch your floor.
–Never wax, polish, sand or lacquer a Mannington Laminate
Floor.
–Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent
dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt and
driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor.
–For furnishings, use wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors,
such as clear, hard plastic or non-staining felt protectors, for
heavy furnishings.
– Promptly remove all liquid spills.
The overall stain resistance of our Mannington Laminate Floors
is excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with
a clean, white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a
little extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.

Important – The laminate surface may have residual wax from
the manufacturing process or from the package. The first and
only cleaning should be done with a cloth or mop (micro-fiber
or terry cloth hooded) slightly dampened with original Windex
(blue), rubbing alcohol, or Simple Green. This will remove the
wax. Once the wax is removed, the recommended maintenance
should be ordinary vacuuming or sweeping, and cleaning with
Mannington Ultra Clean.
