tapping lightly along the long side until the joint is closed tightly. Then tap the end using the tapping block into a locked position. Note: Uneven
tapping or use of excessive force may damage the joint.

the plank and lightly tap the joint closed.

Care and Cleaning.
Place felt oor protectors under legs of moveable furniture. Chair casters should be rubber – not plastic or metal. Place walk-off mats at entrances. Dust
mop as primary cleaning method. Occasionally damp-mop with water only, using a well wrung out mop; DO NOT pour liquid directly on oor or use an
excessively wet mop that will puddle or leave moisture standing on the oor. If needed, use a solution of 1 cup of vinegar per gallon of water OR 1/3 cup
non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of water. DO NOT use detergents, abrasive cleaners, soaps, waxes or polishes. Use correct hard surface vacuum tools.
DO NOT use rotating beater bars, oor scrubbers, steamers, jet mops, buffers or similar products. Wipe up spills immediately. DO NOT allow topical
moisture to remain on the oor longer than the time specied in the product warranty.
