Preventative Maintenance
• Prevent indentations and scratches by using non-staining oor protectors on the legs of chairs, appliances and all heavy furniture. Floor
protectors should be at least 1” in diameter. Periodically clean protectors to remove grit that may become embedded and cause scratching.
• Replace plastic or metal chair casters with rubber, and keep casters clean.
• Place walk-off mats at entrances. Mats should have a non-rubberized backing and be labeled as nonstaining.
• We recommend the use of a hard surface (non-studded), non-rubber chair mat to protect your oor from ofce chairs with casters. Light, rolling
furniture should be outtted with broad-surface, non-staining casters that have been engineered for hard surface oors. Such casters should be a
minimum of 1”(2.5 cm) wide and at least 2” (5.1 cm) in diameter.
• Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
• Remove shoes with cleats, spikes, or pointed high heels before walking on the oor.
Cleaning
• Sweep the oor regularly with a soft bristle broom to remove loose dirt.
• Wash the oor with non-abrasive, neutral PH oor cleaner approved for vinyl oors.
• For every day cleaning, a mop moistened with warm water will sufce. Keep pets’ nails trimmed.
Cleaning
• Detergent based cleaners
• Abrasive or mop and shine products
• Ammonia or bleaches
• Vacuum cleaner with a rotating beater bar engaged
NOTE: Always read the cautionary information on all cleaners prior to use.
IMPORTANT: Never push, pull or drag furniture, appliances, or other items across the oor. Always lift and carry furniture or heavy items.
